Training with smaller balls such as the brasilian futebol is great for developing soccer skills and mechanics such as quick feet, eye foot coordination, foot dexterity with the ball and overall confidence with the ball. Players must focus on a smaller object and the brasilian futebol is ideal because it is weighted to better approximate a regulation 5 soccer ball and the brasilian futebol is bouncy forcing players to develop a soft touch in order to control the ball.
Using small balls to technical training and in small games will make a differnce in the overall skill level of soccer players especially in the way they recieve the ball and their first touch.
