A lot of the game’s thrill is the chance to win a game. But, winning requires more than desire. To really improve your soccer game, read the advice presented here. Get everything together so you’re able to get out there and play.
Avoid going to the goal with the ball unless you’re in the right position. Search for teammates to help you if you’re in an area where you’re crowded. Pass the ball to them vs running yourself towards the goal.
Never make the assumption that you’re out of the current play once you’ve passed a ball. Keep up with the action as you may see the ball soon come back to you. A good player will give you the ball back if they need help.
A good move to practice is the Outside Elastico. This helps cut inside if there are defenders on your flank. Grab a bag, shoe or cone and practice by putting it down on the ground. Back up about five steps. Start by dribbling in the direction of the cone. As you get closer to the cone you should make a touch that’s small on the outside and then back into the inside. The touch outside will trick your opponents. Remember that your inside touch should be greater than your outside touch.
Soccer should be played as a team. This is an extremely important concept. Hogging the ball usually backfires on the player. Play for the whole team. You can succeed even when you sacrifice your personal recognition ad make some sacrifices for your teammates.
Now, you should know some things about soccer that you didn’t know an hour ago. You should always try to get better at soccer and practice what you’ve learned when you can. As you practice with your friends and teammates, pass on the new skills to them. They in turn can pass on new skills to you and you can grow as a team.
