[@asmor804]

What is the difference compared to knuckle shot in term of contact point and follow through? Both seem identical but comes with opposite result

[@xlocalfxfxw5153]

Hey bro, I love the video but can you please make a video on how to lock your angle because i don’t understand how to do it.

[@7mlc]

It just means tensing the muscles around your ankle so that if you were to try and planter flex or dorsiflex your foot manually with your hand, you wouldn’t be able to. Basically just making your ankle rigid 👍

[@nhathoangminh7977]

Hey Michael, it reaction drill can improve my speed of thought

[@7mlc]

It can help 👍

[@shubhankersonaliya]

Love your content big brother Watching you when you have nearly 200k subs I think you should post some more videos about decision making and individual body weight hamstring workout. One question for you also How many hours a day should we train specifically for wingers and strikers? I hope you will reply Love from India big b♥️♥️

[@7mlc]

There’s no specific answer mate, it’s about the quality of your training rather than quantity. But around 2-3 hours is how long I personally train 👍

How do I Practice my backswing

[@ntp7261]

Michael, which is effective a full fitness traning session or 1-2 fitness drills after traning 2-3 times a weak

[@7mlc]

Probably adding fitness to the end of your session rather than taking time away from the ball. Playing in matches is also a great way to build stamina 👍

[@sriramarumugam411]

Nice vedio.. Can you make a vedio for positional awareness

[@7mlc]

That comes through playing experience mate. The more games you play, the more you’re awareness develops. You can supplement this with match analysis too 👍

[@alanyang6284]

hi Mike， hw do u even stop ur followthrough. is it when u kick the ball immediately u want to have u kicking leg drag back in order to stop it?

[@7mlc]

Hi Alan. You stop your follow through by engaging your quads, hamstrings and hip flexors.

Which boot do you use

[@ShayanMohammadian]

Hi Michael good job bro I can't understand in dribbling moments to which side of defender is appropriate to beat specially in tight spaces What do you suggest me to do?

[@7mlc]

There’s no right or wrong answer mate, the game presents solutions and often times there can be more than one solution. Just feel out the situation, and don’t be afraid to make a mistake as you’ll learn from it 👍

@@7mlc thanks it was helpful 🌺

[@r4mzy423]

Can you do a weakfoot training session,it would really help.

[@7mlc]

You literally just do the same drills you use your strong foot for, but get reps with your weak foot. There are no special drills that improve your weak foot faster 👍
