My football IQ decreases when i watch Man Utd matches

[@mr.1ntr0vert88]

😂 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@dylanzeed2409]

Shut up can you play football

[@mrpraj9151]

Agreed

[@whyamiblessed3665]

Too bad when you're a fan of them

[@we_breathe_football370]

I swear every time Become Elite and 7mlc upload at the same time. They definitely have some agreement to upload at the same time.

[@user-pf3cg3no2o]

They are the best in the field of football education

[@Gojothegoatjo]

Love how you make these analyze videos, it’s simple but helps and improves your game, great vid 🙌

[@benkouyate]

Great video man. I also think you should have noted how even sometimes the pros at the highest level make mistakes, and that sometimes you might be able to predict a better play than what they end up executing 👌🏽

[@dkurtz786]

Agreed. We also have the luxury of pausing and talking ourselves through a scenario. Granted, we’re doing it to learn but the pros don’t get to pause and look around at the video! Haha “must be nice!”

[@Winnersclubpodcast1]

Great video! This is so helpful to young players👏🏾

[@JWK-pp3js]

thanks for the great video! I was trying to find a way to improve myself on the pitch but i could never really see myself getting better at some point but this video gave me the exact tip I was looking for:)

[@ethanposcic1373]

You’re honestly so helpful man

[@sammountain8760]

Love this dog ❤️ you and progressive soccer have always been my tutors in the game. Much love 🙌

[@matthewrivera4640]

No joke was just thinking about this an hour prior to you putting this vid out. Thank you very much Matt I definitely needed this!

[@urasscofield9030]

I think knowing where to play isn‘t the problem. The problem is being able to play where you would have wanted in time. Quick thinking and having the vision is the most important thing.

[@aaronkaplan6441]

Great tips thanks Matt. Always great content. well done.

[@Football-bl7tf]

Congrats to 500k. I think I really learned predicting where the opponents pass trough playing FIFA

[@Yano5151]

Great video. Thank you ❤

[@bengoman3447]

great video as always matt

[@GStudios.]

Wow, 500k subs. Great video Matt

[@fermorales]

Very good advice to analyse the videos and try to guess the decisions-making of the professionals. Very rare, though, the positional references measured in yards! 🤣

[@forshais09]

Very valuable advice!

[@luisgarcia373]

I watch Busquets. That has always been my position. What I started doing watching his videos and practicing my turns, one touch, positioning. The wall helped me a lot on my touch.

[@legit2.082]

Thnks bro❤

[@japishaa]

Matt you always motivate me to do extra! we love you from Ethiopia- Africa

[@victorsulle7832]

[@noahgera6531]

Hey Matt, Can you please make a video about all these facsia mentors that telling to work with nature. Great video btw

[@jonahford7081]

Well done for 500k Matt. I loved this video and am just about to go try it for myself.

[@biomatrix8154]

Hey Matt, gr8 vid as always. Can u like do a vid on how to condition, train, and perform at the highest physical levels with high heat and humidity? I hears it's pretty brutal there in the summer in South Carolina. 🥵

[@whitedapoet]

Hey Matt. I love your contents. Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬

[@GimanguliGamesPCGameplays1]

Amazing video Matt, probably the most useful video about Football IQ on the internet

[@JonerFootball]

This is class mate

[@faizanahmed5020]

Loved your thumbnail 🔥

[@aatusow610]

Just did a tactical session likke this! thanks for advise

[@wyattbredahl7260]

Hey, awesome video very informative and helpful! Off topic but what do you think about the Colorado Springs Switchbacks because I was at that game when the Battery played them and I’d like to know your thoughts on them?

[@TheGrun13]

Great stuff! I love predicting passes when I'm watching football. .

[@damianp7260]

Good tip!

[@omerlikos2549]

you are amazing! 👍

[@abdalrahman4648]

Quality ♥️✅

[@CarlA-st9ep]

congrats on 500k matt personally I think it should be double but it'll come soon enough

[@Theballerschannel07]

Thank you

[@markusmilan2069]

Just found this channel this is the first video but im amazed. I'll definetely try it out although im a goalkeeper so its kinda different but on 1-on-1s for example it could be useful. I thought of that same thing just in live matches but ofc you cant pause thats the only difference

[@hayesdabney]

You´re giving me so many opportunities to sound like I know what I`m talking about when I talk to my 9 year old daughter about football. Thanks for that!

[@GuitarKitchen]

Very cool!

[@statik310]

Waiting to see you vs Los Dos! Greetings from SoCal! We tune in every weekend to see your matches! Hope everything is alright that last red was way harsh!

[@user-wh9tr3lu5c]

Nice💪

[@ON-hn5oi]

Hey Matt great video! Do u have any advice for players who are trying to get more physical and stronger but also don't want to get too big that it negatively impacts their athletic performance.

[@loekverkuijl4542]

Yes!!! Every time i train legs i cant run for 3 days. Even when i train lightly

[@BecomeElite]

Adding muscle and size is such a slow process, you don’t need to worry about getting too big too fast. Add muscle, add strength, add size and you’ll slowly get to your ideal weight. If you come to find you’re starting to get too big then just go on a cut and lose the weight.

[@mikkefr]

What would be like the ideal weight for a 188 cm tall CB/midfielder? Is 75 kg too low?

[@ON-hn5oi]

@@BecomeElite Thank you!

[@pogooo8345]

@@BecomeElite hey can you make video about these fascia dudes telling us that we need to work with nature

[@aryandwivedi3998]

Hey Matt, gr8 video! Do u have any advice for players like me who are playing in the high school/academy level & wanna get to the top level how to make contacts which are going to help us get contracts in future & how to identify that this person can help me in long run?

[@chiefmutes8481]

I think i'll start analyzing matches like you

[@netking767]

Nice insight. Pausing and predicting is not something i thought of before. Normally I'd just watch and analyse as i go (implicit learning, i guess)

[@SebastianRojas-uu2cp]

Nice, this also works for vision i think because you have to think fast nice video

[@kevinramacha8208]

I waiting for your reaction on pavard goal. Anyhow congrats on 500 k 🎉🎈

[@PhilippeSabourin86]

Same! How do you pick this game and this player and not at least show it?? Great video though.

[@ahmedsaeedbj]

I play anything forward, mostly LW or CAM, but this guy made my RB IQ so good because of his analysis on players that play RB or himself lol

[@dkurtz786]

I enjoyed doing this along side Matt. Next step would be to try to predict the play faster and faster….just like the pros in a live situation?

[@haddeus3446]

i use instincts normally but im going to try developing this

[@rathingkhansu2302]

I really enjoy your every video... If KZbin allow only one channel to watch then probably I'll choose you, Thank you so much sir,

[@kumelhasni3968]

Any advice on how to get better at decision making? and making said decisions faster?

[@hay_8923]

Ayeee happy 500k subs I remember when he had like 15k 😂😭

[@IvanSanchez-jz1uf]

Hey Matt have u ever thought of playing d1 in Mexico

[@nicholasfonseca11]

This is very good because as soon as you get the ball you make the best decision since you are learning from the best.

[@nahudjmusic]

Very good 💪⚽🔥

[@charlieclapp386]

500k🎉

[@cr7_.motivation]

Should you try to improve your speed of “decision making” as you get better at this.(how long you pause each time) or is it better to really analyze every situation really deeply (like you did)

[@sonny22]

Video of the week for me

[@hamzaahmed7172]

Hi Matt I don’t know if you’ll reply but wanted to ask what exercises are useless to do in the gym for example like neck shrugs

[@MichaelLT1]

Thank so much I’m a great skills but need to improve my QI

[@Ethinkevelyn]

He Matt, My son and I have watched your videos for some time..thank you for sharing. I have a question can you talk about the process of getting on and playing on a semi pro team in the USA

[@CH-yk1op]

If you listen to his podcast Against All Odds, he often has other pros on who talk about their journey. Extremely helpful & motivational.

[@williamchelette3613]

This is such a simple way to increase IQ. Thanks bro. I’m going to go watch Busquets

[@ThomBroekman06]

Matt how do you improve off ball decision making, do you watch the entire match or only whe he gets the ball?

[@joso7228]

Watch and feel 'The Rhythm of the Game' - time to defend, time to pressure, hold and probe, pass and tire them, go for Goals. As a Centre Back I once watched the Opposition attack and knew it wasn't time in 'The Rhythm of the Game' for them to score so I just stood and watched them from the edge of the Area as they shot, shot again, hit the post, and knocked the ball wide. My Coach was furious with me - but I knew!!

[@kardalhaist8489]

I do this alot for college games but I normaly don’t pause cus it’s before bed or sum and I’m tired

[@therafut]

As a winger which match is the best for me to analyse any ideas 💡 please

[@paulorobertodemorais3201]

Muito bom!!! Brasil. RJ

[@muhammedsulaim2520]

Hey . If we do like you told. It will be just when we have the ball right . What about off the ball movement?

[@eddiegollaz5156]

Dang camera quality looks great
