messi
he's pretty good
[Music]
so that's why today we'll show you 10
simple skills he uses to beat defenders
you're watching all attack the lift
[Music]
sometimes a defender will slide to steal
the ball
effectively blocking any angle you have
to cut past them
to avoid getting tackled stick your toe
underneath the ball
and lift over the incoming challenge
[Music]
so
[Music]
chop cuts
[Music]
one of the reasons messi can cut the
ball so quickly and precisely
is that oftentimes he actually uses a
different cutting technique than most
players
typically when you cut past a defender
you usually use the top of your foot
or the inside of your foot and sort of
push the ball past the defender
but while messi does this sometimes too
he also has another technique
to cut the ball he uses the edges of his
feet
and quickly hits the side of the ball
[Music]
it's not much of a push it's more of a
chop
and it instantly cuts the ball in the
direction he wants to go
he's really really good at this
the stop and turn
when a defender is on your shoulder and
trying to get around the front of you
turn your body to shield the ball
while at the same time using the inside
of your foot to stop the ball
then continue to turn and use the inside
of that same foot to push the ball past
the defender
fake shots
[Music]
when you're cutting into the penalty
area
and there's defenders between you and
the gull
one thing you can do is take multiple
small
fake shots as you dribble across the box
this will keep the defenders guessing
and make it so that they never know
when you're going to shoot
[Music]
the double cut
when you're nudging at a defender
use the outside of your foot and start
to cut past them
[Music]
then when the defender shifts to stop
you use that same foot to cut back the
other way
[Music]
la croceta
use the inside of one foot to drag the
ball across your body
then use the inside of your other foot
to push the ball past the defender
[Music]
the l cut
[Music]
when you cut past the defender normally
you would push the ball at something
like a 45 degree
angle
[Music]
but sometimes you don't want to cut the
ball at that angle
sometimes you want to beat the defender
and keep going
straight forward down the field
[Music]
to do this take a quick short touch to
the side of the defender
then use the inside of that same foot to
push the ball past your opponent
this is sort of like a one-footed
[Music]
locroquetta
the tow poke meg
[Music]
sometimes when you touch the ball a
little too far
a defender will think they can steal the
ball
but if you're quick enough you might be
able to get there just before the
defender
[Music]
and if you do manage to get there before
keep in mind that the defender is
probably reaching for the ball
so the best choice may be a toe poke
through the legs
[Music]
drop your shoulder
when you're facing a defender drop your
shoulder
and step as if you were going to
accelerate that direction
then use the top of your foot to push
the ball the other way
[Music]
the referee block
if you're dribbling against a defender
and you notice the referee close to the
play
you can cut past the ref and use them as
a shield to block the defender
now i'll admit this situation probably
isn't going to happen that often
but this messy highlight was just too
good to not include
