How to do La Croqueta - Messi Skills Tutorial (+ Training Drills)

La Croqueta is one of the best Messi skills to learn if you want to beat defenders. Messi uses La Croqueta often and very successfully.
In this tutorial you will learn step by step all techniques about La Croqueta.
Basically it starts with an inside push from one foot to your other foot to get past the defender, in the video we reveal all details about Messi’s technique.
We also show you the importance of distance and timing. We also explain step by step how you can learn La Croqueta during a slow-motion of Messi when he is performing La Croqueta.
Where to use La Croqueta?
Messi uses La Croqueta usually near sidelines, when he is approaching or in the box and in midfield. Messi is able to use La Croqueta when he dribbles, when he receives the ball and when he stands still.
When to use La Croqueta?
La croqueta is very effective in a 1v1 situation, in tight spaces and with 2 or even 3 defenders marking you.
How to Train La Croqueta?
We show you 5 ways to practice La Croqueta. The first 2 drills can be done with just the ball to get familiar with push from one foot to the other which is the core technique of La Croqueta. The 3rd and 4th Drill are with cones to practice your timing and distance while you are dribbling or standing still. The final drill is to practice real 1v1’s.

Coaching dribbling, aside from general close control, this is the most specific and useful skill to master.

[@LukiKopki]

The issue that I am facing with this is, that sometimes the opponent just don't fall for that first body faint. 2nd issue is that while performing la croqueta, the opponent tends to use his body get me of balance.

[@sebfox2194]

There's video of Pele doing La croqueta years before Laudrup "created" it. Some moves have been around for ages. Laudrup did master it though.

[@sebfox2194]

The funny thing is there's also video of Pele doing the "Ronaldo" chop, and the Cruyff turn too!

[@rishabhxp4335]

Why don't we net meg them

[@richardkelvin9494]
