& Football
Control
-
It is often said that a good first touch
is significant in gaining control of the ball.
-
If you can accomplish it correctly, the
ability to control will greatly improve your performance.
-
You can use the feet, thigh, chest or head
in controlling the ball. Regardless of which body part you
are using, the basics of control remain the same.
-
First, immediately position yourself on
the ball’s line of flight. Quickly decide on how you
want to control the ball.
-
In order to have the ability to receive
the ball at any height, you must constantly practice your
control using your feet, thigh, chest or head.
-
When the ball is flying high above your
waist area, it will be difficult to use the feet to control
it. As such, learning to use the chest will come in handy.
-
Approach the ball with the body part you
wish to control it with. It can be the thigh or the feet,
among other body parts.
-
Make sure you get that body part behind
the ball. At the same time, make certain that you are covering
as much of the ball’s area. If you chose to work with
your thigh, make sure the full face of the thigh is in line
with the ball. This will help you cushion the force at which
the ball will be delivered.
-
The ball will then drop to the ground and
depending on your position; you can either pass or shoot
the ball.
Stop Turns
-
For a car to be excellent, it must have
a great accelerators as well as effective brakes. Similarly,
football players need the ability to increase and decrease
their speed at whim.
-
Football generally involves running at full
speed. While doing this, the player will be able to keep
the ball in play. Right before the ball reaches the touchline,
the player may perform that magical turn.
-
To do this turn, you must immediately halt
the ball by placing your foot on top of it. However, the
key to this stop turn is the ability to stop your run in
an instant. After you stopped running, turn your body immediately.
Do this by pivoting on your planted foot. Then, use your
other foot to drive the ball forwards. After this, move
away quickly.
-
If the turn is successful, you will confuse
your opponent and he will end up running in the opposite
direction.
-
However, if the opponent is too near, you
may end up losing the ball. So, make sure that that you
execute this turn quickly and with adequate space.
-
Named after the brilliant Dutchman Johan Cryuff, the Cryuff
turn is a skill that, when mastered, can make you the envy
of all your team mates.
-
This trick is especially helpful when you
want to lose your opponent.
-
You must position your body like you are
going to make a pass. However, instead of kicking, use the
inside of the foot to bring the ball behind your standing
leg.
-
Get yourself in line with the ball by twisting
or turning your shoulders and hips. After which, you must
instantly start running.
-
Your fast manoeuvre will cause the opponent
to lose track of your movements.
Dragg Back
-
In football, you will often find yourself
on the pitch, with all the players crowding near you. The
space will then be too tight for you to move well.
-
The dragg back turn is deal for manoeuvring
in tight spaces. Although the skill may be easy to learn,
its success will greatly depend of the speed of the feet.
-
The turn begins with your foot placed on
top of the ball and this foot must remain in the same position
for the rest of the turn. Next, use that foot to roll the
ball backwards as you attempt to go to a different area.
-
In order to perfect the execution, you will
need to practice this skill constantly.
-
Although relatively easy to master, perfect
execution of this skill looks incredible on the field.
-
This skill is especially helpful in keeping
your body between the ball and the opponent.
-
In order to do this effectively, you must
maintain focus both on the ball and on the opponent who
is marking you.
-
As you approach the ball, increase the movement
in your feet. Then, use the outside of the foot to hook
the ball and turn it into your desired direction.
-
If you have mastered the skill, you can
hook the ball but instead of moving it, step on it. Then,
carry on with your original direction.
-
Doing this is a double bluff on your opponent.
-
As with any turn, you must position your
body in between the ball and the opponent.
-
The use of the inside hook turn will be
effective in rendering your marker useless.
-
Similar to other turns, this technique requires
speed and agility in the feet’s movement.
-
To do this turn, use your foot to reach
the outside of the ball. Making this contact will enable
you to alter the direction of the ball.
-
You should also bend your knees so you can
easily shift your weight. Then, turn your hips to change
the direction of your own body. However, you must first
secure a positive first touch on the ball. This will ensure
that the ball is in the proper position. You can then easily
turn the ball and move away from your opponent.
-
You must make sure you are quick on your
feet. When executed well, this trick will leave your marker
lost and confused.
