mikejaxer Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Agreed, which is why I find it hilarious when people tried to link him away to clubs like Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Yeah, I guess a through ball is right. Feel like there should be an even more specific term for it, as the pass is rarely a through ball that releases Almiron to take a strike straight away. Normally it’s a through ball that cuts through a defence, slightly out wide, giving Almiron or someone else a few seconds to gain further ground before whipping in a cross Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King HTT III Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Slide pass? Bruno is great at playing a clipped ball, doesn’t over hit it, plays it into space, to his man and it seems perfectly placed and weighted, I think regarding his passing that’s his forte. Trippier has the same kind of passing technique too. Edited January 8, 2023 by King HTT III Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King HTT III Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Another thing with Bruno I’ve noticed is how he uses his toes a lot to make passes, that is as Brazilian as it gets. It’s a unique technique. He did several toe poke type passes short and long last night, such a great style. I know loads of coaches and they say a toe poke pass can be more effective than using your instep, side foot etc. he rolls the ball a lot as well. I love his style.

Also applies (though less accurately in terms of the metaphor) to curved passes. It is a pass which is played on the ground to put a player through and is completely precise in its accuracy and weight - and usually has to take at least one defender (though usually a couple or more) out of the game to apply.
