Wow i love this. Even though i do all these almost all the time but i learnt one crucial thing here that will bring it to perfection, which is the deception you added to it❤. Please michael is there any training that can make a player good at using his arm to hold down a player when you bout to receive a pass.

[@fk_paybackj9605]

BIG MIKE, i would be happy if you add warnings to these moves. No doubt that these are very efficient touches but they should know how the defender reacts to sudden movements as well. i play defence (mostly RB, LB) and its quiet difficult to get these past me with these because im patially aggressive when im defending. Guys just i want you to know who you are playing with in order to use these touches. all these touchess work well on super agressive defenders. thank you for your God work Mike.

Literally, my favourite part of the game. Directional first touch with turning❤ And Mike do you think it is good idea to train full body on your strength days

[@7mlc]

Love to hear that mate ⚽️🤝 Depends on the type of work you’re doing in the gym. You should be focusing on functional movements that increase the explosiveness and responsiveness of your muscle fibres, and developing strength around the joints to protect them.

[@chinedujoseph8190]

Great video mike i have a question i am trying to get faster how would i do that

[@7mlc]

Thanks mate! I’d recommend implementing a combination of plyometrics (jump squats, pogo jumps, jump lunges, long jumps etc) and resisted sprints either by pushing a weighted sled or doing hill sprints. Do the plyos on separate days to your sprints, and take a day between those types of workouts to allow your body to recover. Do ball work on the recovery days instead 🤝

What is more important juglling or ball mastery what can i do first in your opinion

[@7mlc]

I’d recommend starting with ball mastery. Learning to control the ball on the ground with all the surface areas of both feet 🤝

[@radplayzz]

Great video again ❤, I have a question, some videos u seem to be wearing brand new cleats, how do you break into them so quickly and how do u feel so comfortable to play w them, your always changing them and wearing new ones, so just wondering

[@7mlc]

Thank you mate ⚽️❤️ To be honest, modern boots seem to be constructed in such a way where break in time is pretty minimal. Sometimes I’ll “double sock” for my first wear if I suspect the boot has any hot spots, but for the most part I’ve not ran into many problems other than a couple of particular models. Mizunos especially are lasted for 24 hours, so the out of the box fit is excellent 👌

[@radplayzz]

@@7mlc good point, thanks for the explanation

[@คมสันต์พร้อมไชยสงค์]

Hi FC FROMTHAILAND🎉😊

[@OttotheMinion-fr4hj]

Hey michael I was sick a few days ago and Im just getting back into trainig. However I have a question. You know when you have lots free time and your just chilling in your room. Well that feels like wasting time and instead of that I could just do ball Mastery drills because Im pretty bad at it. How do you find the motivation to get up from your phone to do ball mastery.

[@7mlc]

When you realise that motivation is a luxury and not a determining factor in whether you train or not, you’ll do it anyway. Just like eating, brushing your teeth, sleeping, doing work. By not doing those essentials, there’s a negative impact on your life. If you love spending time with the ball, it shouldn’t take much to put the phone down and spend time with it ⚽️

[@OttotheMinion-fr4hj]

Thanks that reallly helped.😊

[@AliF-u6x]

Great work Michael, I have a question, what’s your advice to young players out there who want to make a living from this game

[@7mlc]

Spend as much time with the ball as possible, completely fall in love with it. Then no matter what happens, it will be time well spent and making it to a professional level will just be a bonus 👍

[@ElGoat_Chaco]

Hey 7mlc I have a question about training sessions. So I want to know if it’s better having a full training session where I focus on my first touch, dribbling, shooting and other stuff or should I focus on only 1-2 things every session for example one day I focus on my first touch and dribbling and then the next day I focus on shooting and my 1v1s or should I focus on these type of stuff in one training session everyday?

[@msi0313]

hmm.. thanks for the nice video Michael!! I'm not good at turns. if I check the defender behind me first, will it be harder the defender to take my ball?

[@7mlc]

It’s important to check to see the position of the defender so you can make your movement based on that information 👍
