I have studied Ronaldinho so much people I played against would call Ronaldinho, dribbling was my thing. I would like to teach young players. People watch Ronaldinho but don't really study him or get in his mind. One of the things I learned from him is his light touch when he wants to turn players, this is why some attackers turn the defender or midfielder but lose control of the ball.

[@AnthonyMcCulley]

The concept of safe side is definitely something that is missing from my son's U10 training. I can't wait to go through this video with him. So many other great nuggets as well. Standouts to me: - Safe Side Passing - Not being square in hold-up play... be more like a boxer and hold then off with a hand/arm Pure gold.

[@nickhumph]

so awesome!

[@TrainEffective]

Glad you found the tips useful Anthony!

[@SufianBabri]

That's what you can learn from those who've done it all (played at the highest level). I will try to have these drills with my soon-to-be 7 year old son. He's already a lot better in terms of tackling than his peers, and with some of these drills he can improve further.

[@seanlahm4826]

I wish we would have had KZbin growing up. So many great free lessons. I was playing "football" or soccer here in the States during the early 80's and my coaches didnt really know much about the game. Other than what they saw on Saturday mornings watching the old MSL league. We did get to see players like Pele and Beckenbauer , but getting those games on TV was very rare.

[@gregan78]

A good quick flowing drill with nice 1v1 repetitions. Disagree with his point about slowing/stopping a defender giving him an advantage. A good attacker has the advantage in this scenario and will change speed/accelerate as the defender stops. The attacker controls the green light and will get a headstart especially if combined with a fake. Just going fast at top speed doesn't allow for any acceleration and a good defender will sync their speed and mute the 1v1 opportunity. When the defender gets close make sure you shorten your stride taking a touch every step remaining balanced, allowing for a quick change of speed and direction.

[@miguelporras8366]

Stopping at some point gives you the chance to recover the position according to the opponent's run. Watch Vierchowod at 39 years vs Ronaldo Nazario. Ronaldo consistently passed him but Vierchowod always recovered position and was an absolute nightmare. Maybe that's why Maradona, Van Basten, Batistuta and Lineker rated him as their toughest opponent. Maradona described playing against him just like that: at the fourth time you had to face him, you just want to give him the ball on frustration Going on top speed always increases the chance of being exposed and leaving the line compromised. That is a decision that depends on the specific situation. Many times it is better to run straight to cut the opponent's advance. Other times is better to wait and keep position

[@RodrigoJovino9]

I do understand your point, as not all players and plays call for going full speed at all times, but in terms of the context the idea of the advice is to not release pressure from the defender so they are kept at bay rather than give them what the defenders will need to cover first, that in the situation of the drill, is the imediate threat of getting beaten 1v1 and giving access to the space behind them. And also, in this way, he's also calling the players to try whatever skills they have in their bag in pratice. Whatever way they're better at beating someone 1v1, try It. It's better for the development of both the attacker and the defender that they try it.

[@Abdi-libaax]

Then he said unless you are Messi 😂 sometimes you wait for the overlap before you take the defender on, maybe you wait for a teammate to come short for a quick 1-2. This is why players like Rashford run into defenders. Obviously, if it's a quick counter you don't wait.

[@jaydennguyen-xk1yo]

Most of messi’s good solo goals have him going at full speed

[@shmoyph]

Great video and some very good points that can't be over looked. Finding what works for you is massive and is the reason why we have skills with a players name on it, find what works for you and use it and the bit about the mental side is again spot on, don't give up, chase the ball and want the ball as well and don't back down from anyone.

It is incredible how in South America we learn this things just by playing years on the streets and waste fields . They become second nature, you don' t even think about it. Anyway I appreciate the ' academic ' european way of learning football. But you can definitely tell that it doesn't bring up the Messi, Maradona, Neymar, Cuautemoc Blanco, Ruben Sosa, etc.

[@hikups]

All those players were good, but became the best because they went to learn in Europe.

[@miguelporras8366]

It was the synthesis of approaches what made South American players great. Also many europeans were raised by the streets. In Italy, the oratorios were like potreros in Argentina. That's why Italy had so many skilled playera

Messi went to Barca academy at 13. These academies give players like Messi the chance to make it. If his family did not send him there, the world may never have known Lionel Messi, and that would be a great shame.

This video is great but the funny thing is when i played football few years back, so i middle school, i was doing everything he explained as a defender while never being taught. So, i tried to figure out why. And then I remembered, i am from Paris Suburbs. People here since very young are so crazy good you have to do all of those thing as a defender to not being smoke everytime even during recess. There is a lot Hatem Ben Arfa like or Mpabbe like who can pass you if you not ready. It's so brutal that i end up not liking the football anymore even if people around told me that i am good. This video give great realisation about football in France.

Is there an exception for stoping while dribling. For example dribbling/running down the sideline with the defender on your back?

[@scootchisme]

To answer your question, yes, there are exceptions to this rule, but tbh I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re running down the sideline with a defender on your back. If you’re ever in a situation where the defender is behind you, there’s no reason to stop, even if you’re trying to draw a foul. Trying to get a foul called on the sideline when you’re already in a positive position offensively just isn’t a good strategic decision. Maybe do something like that if you’re in on goal, in the box, and you know the defender will not be able to avoid hitting you from behind. An exception to this concept that would be a good strategic move would be if you’re waiting for an overlapping run from a teammate or if you’re in the final third and outnumbered by defenders. Too often I see players slow down in order to have a sense of control of the situation. Most of the time though, you’re just creating a disadvantage for yourself. As he mentioned, unless you are a phenomenal dribbler, and have very tight control, slowing down just allows the other team time to get back, organize, and possibly double team you. I’ve always told my players to keep your pace fast and direct before the defender has a chance to set himself, especially in the midfield when your team is in the build-up. Moving the ball from the defensive third through the middle is often about creating overloads in certain areas, so slowing the ball down allows the opponent time to re-balance their shape and you lose the element of surprise.

[@GASPFO]

if u stay sideways and take the pass if i was the defender there i can still get the ball from him like if u give ur full concentrate to the ball not to the guy standing infront of u u can still get it i don't know is this message gets u like im telling this in my own words i hope u guys understand it

[@kelvin20006]

Ataque o seu adversário a todo Vapor. Atacar num ritmo acelerado que fica muito difícil para o zagueiro, aí onde Messi vence com simples: um finta de corpo, e lá croqueta, e corte pro lado um passo por cima 👍

Hi train effective, i have downloaded the app and want to improve my dribbling and desicion making, what workouts should i do?

Try the general dribbling workout A and B with specific workouts. Or try the player led workouts like the dangerous Doku. For decision making, watch every tactical course on the app. Do that before training, apply what you learn and you will do great!

[@seowonkim7287]

When attacking 1v1, what should you be doing when not slowing down but also going fast? Does he mean to go steady? Can someone asnwer my question?

[@brayans2859]

You can slow the ball down and then combine a feint with a burst of acceleration to get past them. Going fast all the time makes it harder to control the ball and puts all the emphasis on the feint. Sometimes you have to go fast such as in a counter attack, so it just depends in the scenario. I would avoid stopping the ball completely though during your dribble because then you have no speed to get past the defender making them harder to beat

[@chrishoward8500]

The advice to not slow the defender down is not good advice if you have a bit of pace/acceleration. Doku for example, is ALWAYS trying to slow the defender down. That’s how he beats him, because he is explosive and it allows him to use that.

[@joelcostigan245]

It's more difficult to change direction if you are running full speed. If the defender is committing full speed, he can't respond as well to the attacker changing direction.

[@nobletstrength]

​@@joelcostigan245 if your 1v1 style requires the defenders defending incredibly poorly it's probably not effective.

[@anth-jo7sz]

Do not slow down, but vary your pace.

[@nobletstrength]

This run at them at pace is really poor advice. Only works if the defender is overzealous. If the defender is patient it works to their advantage because you have no second gear. You should actually slow down a bit when approaching the defender, so you can accelerate faster after your move.

[@jaydennguyen-xk1yo]

No its not bad advice, slow down if ur close to them (like within 5 meters) but outside 5 meters or so you should just accelerate
