Fast. Clever. Deadly. Deceptive. The modern day striker has to be many things to make it to the top. FourFourTwo Films gets inside the mind of a striker, interviewing the masters of the art and the men who have to mark them including Jermain Defoe, Romelu Lukaku, Michael Owen, Martin Keown, Ledley King and many more.

Vardy is one hell of a striker and natural goal scorer he’s gotten plenty of goals in the premier league since they moved up and is definitely an underrated player that deserves more recognition

And then there's messi. He's a playmaker a goal scorer. A dribbler. A winger. Attacking midfielder. Goodness me. How can someone be able to do all these things at such a high level.

[@AvWorgen]

Neymar is. Ronaldo could be but RM's playstyle is not good for playmakers. Iniesta. Zlatan. Zlatan and Iniesta is not wingers but they are everything else

[@PatrickHu]

I wouldn't say Iniesta is a goalscorer

this is great insight, and nothing but the truth coming from the players about what it takes to be a striker. and strikers are bred, but from a young age and over time. repetition and practice in front of goal and in games. Keep it up with videos like this!

[@FourFourTwo]

Thanks for the kind words, Cobi 👌

[@felipedroguett3751]

in spanish please! :)

[@nofurtherwest3474]

my kid is 9. they have always played him at striker. lately I was thinking he should play other positions for development sake. But I doubt the coaches will do that. So I guess we'll just embrace it and go "all in" on striker and practice it even more. Practice striker specific stuff a lot to make him the best striker in the land.

[@wlid88]

I play as a striker, and one thing I realize every time I score is I don't know how it was done, and I think that's a sign that you're a good striker, you didn't think about how to score, it just happens.

[@kitsunes95]

Wilson Leonardy I agree. It just comes naturally, you dont have to think about it, you just do it.

[@ibz78]

Wilson Leonardy I agree when I think I over complicate it and focus 2 much but when I let loose and use my instinct I score goals

[@DanTwigGolf]

IBZ.X NETWORK it’s probably why one on ones I hard to score at times because you have too much time to think whereas if you’re inside 12 yards and the ball comes to you and there’s pressure on you, you just don’t think about it but you know where the ball is going without thinking

[@spicyanimations2100]

Yup. That's how you know you're good

[@messismo1058]

@@DanTwigGolf Agreed. I play striker but I have remember to not think on 1 on 1's and just blast it bottom corner. Works every time.

[@chineduodu]

I really enjoyed that and will watch again. It's clearly a different experience for strikers - they're the most valuable because their task is the crucial one. I think the best are simply the ones that enjoy scoring the most - after a goal, there are feelings of power, validation and importance, emotions strong enough to live for.

[@Mathias6191]

Imagine if you're cristiano or messi who practically scores a goal every game. Now that's the art of goalscoring.

[@borisonyumbe7639]

Exactly !

[@nofurtherwest3474]

A lot of it is the quality of the service. You have to have quality teammates.

[@yigitslh]

This is one of the best documentary I've ever watched and defoe's mentality is perfect for a striker he's concentrated on box as I understood.

[@FourFourTwo]

Thank you for the kind words.

[@yigitslh]

You're welcome :)

[@siglfc]

The best strikers comes from South America. They play for their family with the highest passion

[@nofurtherwest3474]

Uh... not really. There are good ones from SA, but many good ones from Europe too like Harry Kane and Erling Haaland and of course Ronaldo and Mbappe.

I think vardy is indeed a natural goal scorer. Its not whether the goals are coming or not for me its how they do it the mannerisms even when they miss you can find the beauty in a missed shot and vardy showed that his goal or half way line against liverpool was pure instinct

So when a coach tells you your not meant to play striker or born to play striker your gonna quit? No try again you don't need to be born with a gift you just need to have the mindset to outwork the so called talented to keep going.

[@purplepill1478]

Have to disagree with Paul Mersons opinion about goal scorers being born. Henry started as a Winger and even admits himself that he's not a natural goal scorer like David Trezeguet is. It's just about hard work, repetition and training. That hard work bred Henry into a goal machine, a mon avis.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

I think that, like most things, there are some who are perhaps are more naturally attuned to certain positions, but I agree that most people can also learn most positions through hard work. For ex, I never wanted to play goalie as a kid, but later in life something clicked and I started playing and excelled at it.

[@Juan.Louis.]

It's fitting to have Luis Suarez as the thumbnail cause he may he the most natural goal scorer of the past generation ,the best striker after Messi and CR7. Now there's a Haaland...

Hm, these people are invested in the idea that you have to have some form of 'gift' because it makes what they do seem special. However with a will to learn how to score and the determinism to practice it over and over again, you can do it too.

I'm a CAM (Sometimes LAM or RAM) and I can pass, chip, make assist, drible, jungle record is 354, and I have been playing soccer for soon 11 years. I can (In my opinion) everything you need. But I cant freaking score a goal. Of course I do score goals, but i miss too many chances. I cant just get the Ball into the goal, without curling it around the keeper, drible the only defender wich is twenty feet away, make a fake shot... you got it. I'm currently playing in the second best League for my age (13). What should I do?

[@jakeborland4239]

Practice on hitting it as hard as possible but very accurate, then when you're on goal and blast it, it's humanly impossible for the goalie to react fast enough if you hit it hard enough. Just bury it.
