We have recently seen Chelsea do an outstanding defensive job on both Liverpool and Atlético Madrid and Crystal Palace, under Tony Pulis have built their impressive run of form on the basis of a solid and organised defence.

Question: My football coaching philosophy is to keep possession through short passing and good support. But the reality is that my players don't seem capable of doing this and the play keeps breaking down and they are loosing confidence in what I am trying to achieve. Can you help with some coaching sessions that can develop these short passing and support skills and increase my players confidence?

Question: I have a FA Level 2 Support Day coming up and have to coach "Improve the Skill of running with the ball". I have some ideas, but they all seem a bit forced and unrealistic and I am not sure they are right, do you have any realistic run with the ball football coaching videos that could help me?

One of the hardest skills in football is the ability to run quickly and positively with the ball. Young players will run with the ball, but very often pick the wrong time to run with the ball, run with it in the wrong areas of the pitch and run with their heads down and end up running the ball into defenders. But, running with the ball is a very effective attacking tool and done correctly can be devastating. In this practice, Run with the ball – Break out, we have created a session that encourages the players to create and recognise run with the ball situations and how, technically they can run with the ball correctly.
