Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara has detailed his trademark pass.

Speaking to Walk On magazine, Thiago explained the use of one of his signature moves - the no-look pass.

"It is a way to trick the other guys (opponents) so I can get the ball to my team-mates in a better position," he says. "You have to look at the ball to see whether it is close enough to make a proper pass. You also have to take a look before and if you see a body moving (in your peripheral vision) you can say 'okay, I will do this pass' because you've seen him (team-mate), you know exactly where he is. Then, for the no-look pass, you have to avoid putting your body or eyes where you want to put the ball.

"The speed (of the pass) and knowing how the player will behave when he receives the ball allows you to decide if you give it to him. I prefer to give the ball to players on the run than to a player's feet because it will be better on the run."
