===Playing the Game===
Let's now look in detail at how the game is played after the kickoff.
====Passes, Shots, and Kicks====
The attack controlled player moves so that he runs with or "dribbles" the ball. There is no need to go around your opponents or your own team members, because the players can cross each other. However, you do need to avoid the defense controlled player (see "Tackles" below).
You can get rid of the ball by making a pass or taking a shot at the goal. To prepare for a pass or shot at the goal, press '''V''' (Team 1), '''ENTER''' (Team 2), or the FIRE button. Play then stops and the pass-direction indicator appears on the ball, rotating around it. As soon as the indicator is pointing in the right direction, press '''V''' (Team 1), '''ENTER''' (Team 2), or the FIRE button again. The ball then moves in that direction. (You may need to anticipate this a little.) At the same time, with the Wired Remote Controllers, you can control the speed of the ball as it's passed. If you move the lever up, the ball moves fast. If you move the lever down, the ball moves slowly. If you don't touch the lever or if you move it left or right, the ball moves at normal speed.
When a pass is requested, all the players on the field stop moving. However, after one complete revolution of the pass-direction indicator, the defense and the attack support players can start moving again. To prevent the defense from moving into a blocking position, try to make your pass or shot before the defense can move.
After three complete revolutions of the indicator, if the pass has not been made, the pass request is ignored. Play then continues with the same player controlling the ball.
Goal kicks, free kicks, and penalties are all taken in the same way as a pass, except that you do not have to request a kick. When the ball and kicker are appropriately positioned for the type of kick, the pass direction indicator automatically moves around the ball.
