 So we'll go into the skills, I'll give you all the examples, but I want you to have the right mindset when you're in this situation. So first of all, when I'm in this situation, a lot of us, we see the defender in front of us, or maybe he's a little further back and we think we have to beat him. Well, if this guy's going to lay off me and he's going to give me space, I don't even have to do the move. I want to put the ball into the box, especially if my teammates have already made the run. If your teammates have already made the run, you see this guy, now you're trying to beat him. They've stopped their runs, they've already gone into the box, now they have to shuffle back out. Defenders are marking them, so you've taken too long to make the decision. So sometimes the best move, the best skill in this area, is just get it out of your feet and whip it into the box, put it in a good cross into the box. So play me another pass. So first of all, when you get this, analyze the space, as that ball is coming to you, before it's coming to you, you already know. Okay, he's off me. As soon as I get that, I see the runs are coming in the box. Well, if I have time, I'm just going to play it. I'm going to get it on my right foot and I'm just going to play it into the box. Okay, so realize that your job as the winger in this area, is not necessarily to beat the guy. It's to deliver the cross. Now, if the cross has to come early, because your teammates are making the run, where the space is there, then take that option. If, however, your teammates haven't gotten to the box, no one's making good runs, there's no options. Well, now you're in a situation where, yes, I may have to beat this guy. So now, I can get my head up, I can get a better angle, and I can make a better decision and give it a better quality cross. So I want you to use moves, but I want you to use them when they're necessary. So another thing I want you to think about, I will send the better in one day soccer blueprint to anyone who comments hashtag soccer on this video. Can you play me another pass? Is your positioning? So we'll just wait for a second. So a lot of players, they might be marked by the sky. Maybe the ball is coming across in the midfield. They're the winger, they're the wide player, they're receiving it like here. Well, he's already on top of me. He might get on top of my touch. He might force me to go backwards. I don't have the time and space to put in the cross or to go at him with speed. So what I want to do in this situation, as that ball is traveling, I realize that it might be coming to me. And obviously, this is a standstill example. I'm probably making a run, but you want to think about getting space for yourself. So as that ball is coming across, instead of trying to receive it here, I want to check out here. So now I have space to either put in that cross or I can go at him with speed and make my decision. So think about getting a little space for yourself. Now, when that ball does come to you, play me again. If I'm deciding that I'm going to go at him because I know it's not the right time to cross. My teammates aren't in the box. Then I'm going to do that without hesitation. So again, the ball is coming across. I'm finding my space. I already know whom I want to get at him. So I'm going without hesitation. I'm not receiving the ball playing one more time. I'm not coming here receiving the ball now getting my head up now. Okay, uh, hesitating, hesitating. Okay, he's closed me down. And even if I do beat him, where am I going? He's right on top of me. So go without hesitation. Think about getting your space for yourself. Analyzing, is it the right time to cross or should I make a move in this situation? Prove faster and achieve more this season. Use the soccer success planner. It's 100% free.
