  • The idea is correct, but the video fails to highlight the important aspects of beating a defender. It shows a change of direction, but it's very telegraphed and most defenders would be aware that a player would prefer to be on their strong foot. You should do this and put some actual points in the video highlighting the change of pace and direction. Also show at least 2-3 ways to beat a defender to keep from being predictable.

  • "Learn to beat players like Messi and learn how easy it is."

    YES, and that is why Messi is the only person who is able to do it, because "its so easy"

    joke of the day :D And its only 07:52 here

  • WHY IS THERE A DISLIKE BUTTON FOR THIS CHANNEL ?

    

  • u gotta be kidding me right..62 dislike? oh come on people..just don't be jealous of this awesome coach!

  • Loving your videos mate. keep 'em comin'!!

    

  • those this STR skill school is a football academy..cause i want to join it

  • i think it`s more F.Torres move :d.

  • @AlexFootballSkills that's not torres' move because he doesn't have one that move your thinking of is called the matthews. and it's not even that much it's still something different

  • the defender jumps out of the way all the time

  • Aaaahh the Matthews? invented by Stanley Matthews, great dribbling technique ..

  • @JoeyMacnCheese idiot of course you can go straight up the defender when you are 1 0n 1, what else are you suppose to do, com from the flanks??? if you come from the side and he has pace then he will dispossess you, if you come straight up and dribble him you will have a head start, and will probably beat him towards goal. thats stupid advice

  • that's still millions mile behind Messi, those are pretty neat but please don't misleading others by simply named it upon Messi. Name it 'Simple touch and goal' that's it

  • @mleeseow it's exactly what messi does, messi just does it better

  • @nick1177 don't sh!ting yourself, any dumb footballer can do that

  • It looks simple but what messi does is not simple. thats why he is the only player who can do those dribbles. You can not do it, its very difficult to do like messi. Because messi does it with the ball glued to his feet, if you watch him again you can see theres only 1 cm distance between messi's foot and the ball while changing directions. In your example there are 5-6 cm distance between your foot and the ball while going right or left

  • @odissey505 That's because when Messi uses this technique he's in a league of his own. Same technique, except that of course Messi just does it in a way that is so masterful that you'd think it's different. But really it's exactly the same, it's just that when Messi does it, it's more effective. It's like comparing a slow stepover to a fast stepover. Same technique, different delivery.

  • @chrism216 If thats true then why is messi only left footed, yet still makes most defenders look like children? It's about anticipation not being both footed.

  • lol i wanna see you do that with your left foot.

    typical average striker, ALWAYS tries to dribble toward his strong foot to set up a shot. any descent defender knows this and will get that ball easily.

  • Can you make one on how to dribble like Heskey?

  • Who's messi?

  • @MrDosa the best footballer

  • @poolmaster18

    More of them say he's the worst.

  • @MrDosa he is one of the best

  • good.... now do it against real madrid defenders...

  • That was more like David Silva. I think Messi uses more of his inside of the foot to dribble.

  • messi doesn't have to memorize his moves like ronaldo or how to do his moves, messi dribbles simple and with insticts but also with touch

  • @stevinho98

    Oh cut the crap.

  • @MrDosa ronaldo fan? I say ronaldo is good to but messi's better

  • @stevinho98

    No I'm not a ronaldo fan, but you can't say which one's better since they both have their pros and cons.

  • how to drible like emile heskey :P

  • Thumbs up for Messi!

  • lol that defender sucks

  • @RealTalkOnlyBro he's meant to get beaten to prove the point mate.

  • Comment removed

  • 0:46, jump outa the way of the ball, smart 1

  • hey i want to know is the teimpo better or f50 since you have both

  • that is perfect when you have that much amount of space. but i doubt any good defender will let that chance happen.

  • if this DOESNT work for you, you're not doing it right. any good defender is gonna try to make you go a certain way, preferably outside. so when you see his feet shift to make you go that way, then fake outside and go inside.

    it's simple, messi just does it better than anyone in the world obviously.

  • Can I use it on futsal?

  • I tried This during my game a couple days ago very simple by very effective

  • No no no. messi has quick a change of direction and pace. And a small faint at times

  • In a messi video I watched (where messi actually did it) he said that he dribbles at pace into a defender and eventually the defender will stay still/plant his feet into the ground and when that happens you change direction. Hope that helps^

  • Lol.. I'm sorry but this video is stupid.. U can't get passed a defender doin that.. Plus the defender will never rush into a tackle like that.. This might work if the defender was a 5 year old

  • :D I have those same cleats! I still haven't worn them yet though...lol such beautiful grass :(

  • @nothingq8 the point is to make the player think he can get the ball and make him move. He wouldn't stand still would he. so move to one side and then change direction as soon as his body weight has shifts. got to learn how to do it. it is very simple and thats what Messi does

  • @nothingq8 thats what their supose to do jockey not just charge in to the tackle its not FIFA 11

  • @nothingq8 LOL!! Because they are up against world best tackler. Only messi can do it good enough. If you try it on like kids or maybe older but not experts on football, this will work.

  • @nothingq8 u dont have brains jus shut up

  • @nothingq8 Messi uses left leg :)

  • dude can i ask u a question . what ya waiting for !! go play with ur hometown football team

  • I've mastered this yesterday. Thx for this vid, i've always wanted to play like messi :)

  • he is very quick

  • def attack like 10 yo kid

  • with the wrong leg markernei defender

  • to to dribble past defenders like Lionel Messi just try to dont do tricks, just run as fast you can with the ball at least less than a meter from your feet, and always tra to run to the holes between two players, if you practice well you will be able to see the holes and make the defenders create them for you ;) hope this help!!!

  • this helps and what did u use to make the music

  • so cool

    

  • itz all non sense u all r noobs that he's just doing a stupid trick and no one was able to take the ball .......m just of 13 and i liv in NZ 2 if i cum in dat academy i can even go for under age tournaments ..........

  • if ther is one defender in the front and one inthe what shud i do plz tell me

  • @STRskillSchool i dont know :L

  • ADIDAS VS NIKE? LOL

  • why i cant make this on the school

  • Hey I want to see another type of dribble of Messi by which he goes past 3-4 defenders. His legs are awesome. If we can see something like that (or if it is already there,) then Steve, please tell me.

  • uhh...lionel messi is forward not defender.

  • @MrNano65 he said pass defender idiot

  • Hi steve, i love ur vids but i need help from u concerning speed... i badly have to improve my speed with and without the ball. Any tips, drill or exercise that can prove its maximum effectiveness?Thanks in advance

  • sick cleats

  • What if there are 2 defenders on you? Can you just tell me plaz?

  • @AD47575 depends on how far apart they are. You could always pass the ball and get it back.

  • @STRskillSchool Thanks

    

  • @AD47575 you can weave between them using the inside and outside of your foot

  • lol at 0:37 the defender is like FUCK ialmost had him.

  • hi Steve. any good tricks for street soccer?

  • @linkylamp loads of good tricks. have a look on around my channel

  • @STRskillSchool haha could you recommend me some ?? i just need some easy ones to get past defenders.

  • @STRskillSchool and where is it?

  • Could you do a Robin Van Persie Video? :)

  • Wow I never knew messi past defenders like this I past the defence like this since I was like 5 I though he past the defence another way ?no wonder people say I play like him 0.0wow were like twins .!

  • So, say if the defender was trying?

  • if you train like this until the end of the century you won't be able to dribble like Messi

  • wow now i am as good as leo messi :)

  • i defend by standing my ground and not letting them run towards me like that. but i think that will work for the first time against me or when i am off guard. btw, good job

  • Pleases get better defender so I know the tricks will work on

    pros people...

  • You'RE A Great Footballer

  • what do you do when a defender doesn't move or fall for it?

  • 18 users can't play football.

  • very good camera too!

  • Why did YouTube put a dislike button for this channel?

  • @pctech375 I know. surely they should take it away!

  • @STRskillSchool dont call him shirley

  • @pctech375 I think they meant like-dis.

  • can you upload some goalkeeping videos?? PLease :))

  • @QuickkFX I'm in control of the situation as an attacker so it will work. I make him move so can get past him

  • @STRskillSchool

    dude as simple as the trick is, it is so helpful in games, makes you look like a pro :D. well for me atleast lol.(just searching through ur channel for new tricks)

  • Too bad if you face a skilled defender he'll see the weight shift and snag the ball.

  • Wow what some life changing tips!

  • Go on Stevey lad!

  • beat ten other defenders after and then we can talk messi....

  • Perso,il y a pas besoin d'être fort pour savoir faire ça,en + le défenseur qui est en face,soit il fait exprès,soit faut qu'il aille danser par ce que les duel qui fait il veut pas jouer au foot le mec sa se voit !!!!

  • Could you please teach the micolli spin?

    /watch?v=YjrRTveCy74

  • you know what i love the most. how you go through all this effort to help people watching the videos how to do things and they are so ungrateful and just bitch on your videos and then you respond back in such a mature way. fuck sake people get off his ass.

  • TIEMPOS FTW!!

    

  • pretty useful video, i'll try this (my dribbling actually sucks...) :D

  • do you have a school in the United States? I would love to join!

  • Awesome videos!!!I think that it is a great idea if you can make some videos with exercises such as improve speed,agility,dribble,stamina,­­duration,strength,technique,e­t­c.it will help me a lot and lots of other people..great work!!keep going!!!!

  • Messi is 10x more faster

  • someone should pay you to wear their merchandise.

  • thnx for making this video :D can you make more of messi's dribbles and styles because i really like your videos and your school :D

  • it's all in the body movement though, you can't fool an experienced defender as easily as that. As for messi his signature move is /watch?v=tx7Al9vUwfo. Kids should learn more on how to adjust their body and not for the move itself in my opinion. The moves are pretty basic and don't require much skill, the body movement however is essential to a good dribble.

  • @ighnaz i was just thinking that as i was watching this vid. you can obviously tell which way he's going to go from the way he's leaning but for some reason the defender lunges in the opposite direction and he's quite far from the ball so he shouldn't be lunging like that, it makes it too easy to get past him just by knocking the ball to the side, no tricks required lol

  • Great video !!!

  • fake run, drop shoulder but its different in game time trust so many things run through ur mind

  • The New England Patriots

  • I hate it when top reactions are replies.

  • its like fifa 12's new tactical defending..lol..still love your videos man!!

  • 13 people play as defenders.

  • @pctech375 hey, i'm a defender and i liked this :D

  • Lets clear something up everyone. This is a tutorial and the defender knows what skill I'm doing In this video as it was part of filming. But we try to make it as realistic as possible to show you how its done. There are clips where I beat the player or goal keeper that are real and some are set up. I am not going to show myself get tackled or saved as I wouldn't be able to show you how it works. So nothing is fake. this is how I would coach any player to give a clearer understanding

  • @STRskillSchool alright alright calm down.

  • @STRskillSchool - i saw your bulletin and thought yeah i will get in touch:)!

    well, your videos have helped me loaaaaaads! and i've used them in matches and trained hard on them,

    due to this, i've been spotted and asked for trials at a decent well-known club! so i just wanted to say thanks :)!

    and please keep going! :D because without these i may not be the player i am today! :)
