Passing the ball is a key part of association football.
The purpose of passing is to keep possession of the ball by maneuvering
it on the ground between different players and to advance it up the
playing field.
This brings an advantage in that the team secures possession of the
ball, without allowing the opposition an opportunity to attack. The
skill of dribbling the ball is seen much less in modern football
matches than in the first half of the twentieth century. This
observation is often noted with regret by fans of the game who were
familiar with older styles. HOPE IT HELPS!
