Spanish term or phrase: pase de cara

From an interview describing Barcelona FC's training/playing style:
"Mucho rondo, mucha posesión, mucho pase de cara."
I think I'll use "circle drills" for rondo but I am not sure about the best translation for "pase de cara" - straight pass?

Push pass

Explanation:
Sometimes referred to as direct pass.
I am not 100% sure if "cara" means (cara del pie) or (cara de la cabeza, referido a que tienes que dar el pase de cara al compañero).
Probably the first option.

You're welcome. Maybe you are actually right! It is part of their mentality.
The things that made me uncertain about it is the fact that there are different types of passing techniques like swerve passes, played with the outside of the foot or a back heel etc.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks, David. I actually thought it was the second option, mirando al compañero. The text is about Barcelona's playing style in general but this part in particular is about the youth academy teams and how they coach the young players. Direct pass could work.

short passing

Explanation:
FC Barcelona are world famous for their tiki-taka short passing game. Most of those short passes will be 'push' passes - i.e. executed with the instep - but that is a more technical term and less well known. This link makes the connection between them clear:

Asker: Thanks, David. Yes, the interviewees - Barcelona coaches for both the youth academy teams and the first team - are describing the tiki-taka style.
