One of the key success factors in soccer is, in addition to individuality, cooperation among players. The basis for cooperation in attack stages lies in finding a solution for different situations: 2v1, 3v1, 3v2,… Studying this subject in more detail, the author concludes that in almost all ratios there are a few dominant latent structures with their own laws, universal cooperation stereotypes: wall passing, crossings, passing to the third player, creating space, returning passes, creating a player surplus and positional cooperation. Efficient cooperation is evident in speed and harmonized recognition of the situation, movement of the players and flow of the ball. An important precondition for such play is the resolution of elementary problems at the subconscious level. In order to achieve that, a stereotype needs to be trained by numerous repetitions.

The same as subconscious adoption of technical elements, mastering the basics of cooperation increases the number of final solutions and encourages creativity in players.
