One touch (football)

One touch (football)

Passing or shooting the ball with one "touch" rather than trapping or dribbling the ball first. Often an effective tactic for quick shots from passes or crosses, "flick" passes or for "give and go" passes.

One or two touch scrimmages or drills are also used to improve teamwork and passing skills.This skill is most commonly executed by teams with skillful midfielders and a cohesive frontline. The attackers usually act like target men bringing in other players by simple but elegant 'flicks' or just slight and accurate touches. This style of football when executed effectively can create lots of decoys to opposing defenders, it also creates space for the attacking midfielders to try long range efforts. It has been observed to be most effective when used in counter attacks by teams with quick and visionary attackers.The most notable European teams that play "one touch football" are Arsenal F.C. of the Barclay's Premier League and F.C. Barcelona of La Liga.
