 Here I want to show you some soccer moves that you can actually use in the game I've been doing a couple of these videos recently and you know, I'm all about being effective. I don't care about fancy tricks I want stuff that actually works in the game the stuff that you can actually use so today We're gonna talk about that a bit. I got my friend Dawson here to help me out and he's gonna be the defender He's just gonna do passive defense So I don't want anyone on the comments saying this guy sucks at defending that wouldn't work We're just doing this to demonstrate. Okay, so what I want to say first is You may not even need moves Dawson come right here. Okay pace Using your pace and when I say pace I don't mean you have to be the fastest player on the field You just have to use whatever pace you have the problem is most players get in one-on-one Situations and they try to do all these tricks and they might even beat the guy But once they beat them they go nowhere They just jog past him and then Dawson comes back in front of me and now suddenly he either steals the ball Or I have to beat him again and again and again and again. Okay, you can just ghost pass guys just blow past them if You just use a change of pace. Okay, so first of all, you may be making it too complicated in your mind You may be thinking I have to do all these crazy tricks when in reality You just have to find the space and get there first. Okay So think about using your pace and like I said, you don't have to be really fast But you have to use whatever pace you have. Okay, the next thing I want to talk about is Using the cut. Okay, so I can take Dawson this way when I want to go that way I'll just cut there and it's very important that you become comfortable going both ways left and right Okay, so I cut here. I can cut right and I can cut left. Just look at this cut for a second So I'm going at him when he lunges for the ball lunch for the ball Hey, I'm cutting away and then forward So I'm not cutting into him. It's not like this Hey, I'm actually like sometimes I'm almost going backwards He's lunging for the ball and I'm coming there and then forward Okay, I really like that one and I think that's something you use should use and again It's about these effective moves. Okay, so once I do the move whether it's a cut Then I have to use my pace. Don't jog away sprint away. Okay. Next thing you want to use is The croquette or inside outside. I use this one all the time. Okay, so he'd lend you for the ball and Again, so that right foot to left foot, but it's really quick again. It's not going forward. I'm not going like this into him Come right here Okay, again, I'm almost going backwards and then forward Okay, you can make this one work for you if you do it quickly So again to come at him when he lunges when he lunges Quick right to left or left to right and then blow past the guy. Okay, the other one I use lots is a step over and This probably as fancy as I get But come at him. Oh Oh and Stumble and fall and embarrass yourself. Okay, everyone makes mistakes if you make a mistake. Just go again Step one way go the other way. Okay, but again, it's quick if you just want to practice Doing step over is on the spot that might be somewhere you need to start Okay, but quick step and then again explode use that pace quick step explode. Okay, you can throw in a double triple But make sure After you make that move whatever move you make get away quickly. Don't just jog away Sprint away. Okay, if you want to use fancy skills Because I still want you to be creative. I want you to feel like you can have fun on the ball and still be effective You can do those skills Just make sure you stick to the principles that I talked about and that is once you make the move get away so Once I make a move. I got to get away quickly and I'm not really demonstrating that in this very small space Okay, but once I beat him if I do do all these fancy tricks then pace pace past him. Just grab that ball Okay, so like I said, I don't really do too many fancy tricks. I might add a few Different roles, but no, I don't really worry about that stuff. I just worry about being very direct Again, especially if you're a very skilled player He's almost waiting for me to make a move and a lot of coaches or defenders will say that to him They'll say wait for the move wait for the move because they want you to make that move and then they're gonna tackle you So if they're waiting for the move and you're just won't Just use your pace to get past them You're gonna have a lot more success in one-on-one situations. Okay Thank you for watching this video. I hope it helped. I promise if you actually use those ideas in the game It will make you better and you will have more success on the field So thanks for checking out this video.
