Can anyone please tell me the main difference between these two kinds of passing?It seems to me that they are very similar,or maybe I'm wrong...Is it possible to play wide and use short passes???

Direct is basically "long", so they're opposites. Think of it as direct to the forwards. Wide and narrow don't refer to passing per se, just where your players will be on the pitch.

As a rule of thumb the game recommends direct/quick/wide, and short/slow/narrow works well too- however they're not mutually exclusive.

i new but still to play short and wide,is it possible to stretch oppositions defence with those kind of passes.And also...if direct is opposite with short,then whats the difference between direct and long

Long= Hoofing it
Direct= Getting somewhere in the least number of passes but more controlled

Just think of it as the length of the pass your player looks for. Hence, width can assist in bringing players closer for the short option, or wider for longer passes.
