Pass into space and work ball into box


Recommended Posts

I know these instructions sound contradictory and they are. But my very good tactic utilises them both, when using either as a stand-alone TI, my team isn’t as effective, and is almost broken. 

when using both by team plays nice short, fast, and high tempo football, but when the opportunity presents itself, the through ball pass is made, if the opportunity doesn’t present itself then we go down the wings and work the ball into the box...

What are people’s thoughts on this?

I thought they were complimentary! Work into box means cross less, keep possession more if there are no chances, but with pass into space, when there is a gap, knit a through ball in there.

Against teams that sit deep i imagine it's better to pass to feet though.

To me it is not contradictory at all. The combination of the two Tis means that you are patiently looking for the through ball to play. WBIB just reduces the likelihood of long shots and crosses which lead to turnovers / loss of possession. It has nothing to do with passing setting.
