Manual Fifa - Passes Curtos

Short Pass

The short pass is a successful method that really makes this sport beautiful.

Brazil is the first team that comes to mind when discussing the short pass. This is a very effective pass that can be done in very tight traffic to find a way through your opponent. When a teammate is in front of your player it is extremely accurate, and as the player moves around your periphery the accuracy drops. Try to adjust your player's body position to give him the most accurate attempt to be successful. The diagram below clearly shows how the direction your player is facing affects the accuracy of the pas. Assume the direction you are always facing is true 12 o'clock on a typical clock. Everything from 10 – 2 o'clock is pretty accurate, but from 2-5 & from 7-10 accuracy is diminished greatly. From 5-7, you better be Ronaldinho to attempt that pass, and only after you make sure your radar is clear!
