How do coaches like Mikel Arteta, Thomas Tuchel and Roberto De Zerbi plan their warm-up exercises? Starting a session with a passing activation exercise allows the coach to extend the warm-up with the ball and allow players the opportunity to build confidence for the session ahead. In this week's MSC Breakdown, we take a look at three passing exercises that incorporate movement, combination play, speed of play, passing angles, along with a variety of different pictures that players can experience.
