 You have to think about and look at when Messi dribbles is the way he beats defenders. Where are the moves? Where are the tricks? Is he trying to do flicks and hocus pocuses and all this stuff? No. He uses cuts and changes of direction. He doesn't waste time on that. He knows that all he has to do is get a player on his back foot. I will send the better in one day soccer blueprint to anyone who comments hashtag soccer on this video. What I mean by that is if a defender is like this, you have him beat, all you have to do is get past him. So be aware of his body positioning. If he's flat footed and stuck like this, you have him beat, all you have to do is go. Don't worry about making a move. Just go. And Messi does that so well. How does he beat players? Usually a skip to the outside or a cut. If you like this content, check out the Soccer Success Planner. You can download it for free. There's a link in the description below.
