| | English translation:short passing/long ball [game] | Explanation:
In football, the long ball game is a tactic in which the defence counterattack by playing the long ball over the heads of all the midfielders to a striker, who will either continue the attack directly, or hold up the ball as support arrives. It is usually criticised for being boring and less skilful ("hoof and hope"), but can be highly effective.
In contrast, a short passing game plays accurate passes to the feet of midfielders in order to build up the attack. This style of play requires more skill and comfort on the ball throughout the team.
