Short clip but the footballing IQ from everyone involved... top: Burgess; one-two with Yalcouyé, moving back into space behind him—baiting the press. Brilliant touch to take Campbell out of the game. Plays the ball to Yalcouyé with a good weighted pass. Yalcouyé; Quickly moves into space & demands the ball, good touch into a very small space. Excellent composure on the ball to find Galbraith. Galbraith; Follows the ball to entice his marker. Sees Hamer (marker) press Yalcouyé, little step backwards into space, slightly scans ahead to see how much time and space he has got. Drives with the ball, plays a great pass to Franco, in the half-space who's in between the lines. Franco; In between Sheffield's defensive line + midfield line—Good positioning. Before receiving the ball, glances over his left shoulder (X2) to see where Ronald is. Sees Sheffield's LW move over to the left, so steps to the right to make the pass easier for Galbraith. On the half-turn, sets it with his left foot, *punches* the ball into right into Ronald's path. Very fine details but the movement to the execution is perfect. #Swansshow more

HANDLE THE BALL AGAINST PRESSURE This clip is a... masterclass in handling the ball against pressure. Most players think that the more moves they make, the better BallHandler they are.
