the passing quick and accurate and struck without stopping and controlling the ball Explanation: "A crisp pass or crisp passing describes passes that are quick and accurate. The player strikes the ball firmly and cleanly and it goes directly to his or her team-mate." http://languagecaster.com/football-language-crisp-pass/ This page actually uses your text as an example. To me, crisp also implies cleanly struck. "First time is used in football to describe when a player gives a pass or hits a shot without having to control the ball beforehand. A first-time shot can often catch the defence out as they are not ready, while a first-time pass can also open up a defence. Players who use this skill often have good technique as they need to rely on their touch, their control and their vision." http://languagecaster.com/weekly-football-phrase-first-time/ So to say that the passing was "first time" means that each player passed the ball to the next as the ball reached them, in one fluid movement without interruption. |
