 Today we're talking about soccer tricks and I know you're probably scrolling through YouTube and there's a bunch of YouTubers out there who have incredible skill tutorials. They're doing crazy tricks that I could probably only do 10% of them But if you've been watching my videos for a while, you know, I don't want you to be fancy. I want you to be effective I'm not saying you can't use moves I'm not saying you can't use your skills to create chances for yourself create chances for your teammates What I'm saying is focus on developing real skills that will actually help you in the game So saying that I want to show you three what I'm calling tricks Because usually I would tell you just use your pace to get past players use your good touches to get past players if I'm going past a guy Okay, a lot of the times I don't even need to make a move He may be expecting me to make a move and I just take a touch Accelerate and move past him. Okay, but today I want to talk about a few tricks That can actually get the player going the other way. So the first one we're going to talk about is a body faint Okay, and a body faint is when I am using my body to get the player going one way get the defender going one way and Then I skip away the other way. Okay, so that's the first one. I want you to look at okay So I'm dribbling at the guy. I fake like I'm taking a touch this way. That's what I'm faking I'm faking like I'm taking that touch and then I skip out this way Okay, but to look at it in a little more detail Dribble at him and then faint. It's not I'm not just putting my foot beside the ball Hey, I'm fainting with my body He has to think that I'm actually going that way and at that point he's gonna shift He's gonna say oh and then he'll have to turn because you're going the other way. Okay, so dribble at faint skip away Yes, you're faking like you can cut and go that way So it could be like a step over Except it's quicker Yeah fainting getting away so you can do it going forward is a great way To get the defender off balance, but also backwards. Let's take a look at that. So if my backs is a defender I Want him to think I'm going this way and Then quickly go the other way where I want him to think I'm going this way and go the other way. Okay, so think about Shaking defenders with your body If I just put my foot there, he's not gonna bite if I sell it with my whole body He's probably gonna bite Okay, so faint and go the other way and again. I'm not doing these at blistering speed That's for you to practice what I want to talk about is the basics of the move why it's important and when you should do it Okay, so body faint Fake one way go the other way. There's tons of different ways you can do it Take one way go the other way Backwards you're back to goal. You're back to the player fake one way go the other way Fake one way go the other way. Okay, so that's the first trick body thing second trick I want to talk about Is a fake shot? I think it's one of the best things that you can learn to do more often because it's so hard For a defender not to bite when you do a fake shot his job is to block the shot and if you really sell it He's always gonna be biting. He's gonna fake for the goal. He's gonna try to block the shot Okay, so I Want you to think about using a fake shot more often So let's look at a couple of different ways that you can use a fake shot first of all just like the body faint. I'm not just Putting my foot there. Okay, I have to sell it. It has to look like I'm actually gonna shoot the ball To get the defender to bite So fake shot with the inside Fake shot with the inside fake shot. Okay, you can go behind the back fake shot like a Croy fake shot Okay, and you're gonna get defenders to start biting even better fake shot, and I'm going forward I'm going past the guy into space creating a shooting opportunity for myself Okay, so that's the fake shot. You can also do With a roll. Okay, so fake shot and roll over or even better fake shot and You pull it back into yourself. Okay, just to make sure that you keep that ball. Sometimes you might need to do a couple fake shot or even fake cross Okay, and you're gonna get defenders to start biting. So that's the second trick I want you to practice and use more often is the fake shot final one Is what I'm calling the bait Okay, and I do this a lot. I don't know when I started doing this. It's probably when I got into like freestyle tricks all these fancy things but I started Doing this one more often than others just subconsciously. I don't know why but it always seems to work I don't know why it always seems to work. So say The defender is trying to trap me in a corner or something like this. He's trying to close me down What I'll do is I'll just play it like this Let the ball show to him and then as he goes for it I'll pull it away and go like that Okay, so that's how I do my bait and let's look at that again. Okay So he's trying to close me down. I say, okay, take it. No, you can't take it Okay, take the ball. Nope. I'm gone Okay Sure. Nope can't have it Fake or bait. Okay, show it to him take it away make him lunge in make him think he can get it and then take the ball away So I just want to talk about a couple other ways that you could pull a bait again bait is just Getting him to come in and then going away. So I could just be show him a bit of the ball Dribble drill. Maybe we're one-on-one. I show him a bit of the ball when I think he's gonna lunge Okay, quick feet get away from where bait can just be a little change of speed Okay, so I'm going fast. I'm running fast and then all of a sudden I slow down and then I go fast again Okay, so bait them in try to make them lunge for the ball and then get away Okay Again, you could just show him the ball and turn not like that sloppy show him the ball. Okay Showing the ball have it. No, don't have it Okay, but this one is mine here. I don't know why but I'm saying it's my trademark move. I Show him the ball and I take it away Okay, so there's three soccer tricks You can use to fool defenders create more space for yourself But like I said in the beginning be more effective. These are skills that will actually work. Okay, so let's review quickly body faint I'm pushing him one way with my body and then I'm skipping away Hey, or if he's he's on my back. I'm faking one way I'm skipping away. Remember. Don't just put your foot there. Don't just go through the motions Actually faint throw him with your body Okay, my whole body is Pushing him in one direction next There's a fake shot Great around the top of the box. It can be a fake shot. It can be a fake cross. It can be a fake long ball Hey, get him to buy it sell it like you're actually gonna Hit it and then with all these moves. It's that quick acceleration Okay, so after your move, don't just jog away. You have to be quick You have to put on a bit of pace to get away, but that last one Was the fake shot? Okay, and we'll get away into space Fake shot really helpful last one we talked about. Where's the bait? So I'm just gonna show him the ball Think he can have it. No can't have it. Okay show him a bit of the ball make them lunch for it Can have it Or like I did behind the back short pull it away Okay, so bait him in you can just be that change of speed we talked about show him the ball and then Get away. You might be going nice and quick and then you slow down Right before it gets to you so we're going quick then we slow down as he stops then we go Bait him with your speed. Okay show him the ball and then get away So those are three soccer tricks I want you to think about and I want you to practice and I want you to actually use in the games Thanks for watching this video I'm out of breath and we'll talk to you tomorrow
