Do you watch soccer with him? If he sees some teams that play like you want him to play, that might help. The urge to hold onto the ball for young players is pretty great, since that is what separates good players from the chaff in unskilled environments. Even young professionals who make it at the top level have the problem of holding the ball too long.

Oh shite, that's all that's on our DVR. Bad thing is that he idolizes Messi...the set play Messi though and the genius without space Messi...not enough the perfect through ball Messi.

Not sure if we need to do some white board work to see if he can pick up on the specifics of what they are doing. Basically break down his favorite scores to make him understand that it wasn't just one striker that made it happen.
