Collective Ball Control
Rijkaard’s men took part in a group ball control exercise during the training session. All the players formed one big circle and had the task of completing two exercises. The first consisted of moving the ball without passing it to the person directly standing next to them, the second involved passing it and then changing positions in the circle.
