Passing & Tempo

[donkarlito]

Direct Passing + Fast Tempo = Pump ball up as quick and often as possible
Direct Passing + Slow Tempo = Work ball around for a while until you see an opening and then pump it forwaerd

Short Passing + Fast Tempo = Quickly move the ball up the pitch while keeping it on the ground.
Short Passing + Slow Tempo = Gradually and patiently build up the attack.

just wondering how many people think these statements are true and which teams play them

I think it's true and I use the short passing + fast tempo since my team are very small.
