The SECRET to NOT Looking AWKWARD

[@faizanahmed8561]

You should do a video on defending and how to get in attacking positions while being a defender

[@themoonwalker1073]

Great idea!

[@jimmy1426]

That’s just kind of stuff you gotta learn on ur own or from a actual coach

[@faizanahmed8561]

@@jimmy1426 yea but you could get a main idea from it

[@Angrypickle5]

Usually I just placed myself where the ball was going to go so I could steal it and push forward either kicking it down the sidelines to reduce pressure or passing it to a forward. You can also let someone else be in the position to steal the ball if you notice they're closer, and just let them pass to you so you can push it up faster. It's better to be evenly spaced, that way you can cut through once you take back possession. Basically it's your job to have good spatial awareness. You need to know when and where you need to move to set up that position anywhere on the field. It's most likely going to be in between and/or behind the other teams forwards so you can intercept or cut through them. If it doesn't look like you can take back possession just squeeze in more to focus on blocking rather than intercepting, but you can still attempt 1v1s to try and take back possession and get in an attacking position. That's just from my experience tho, but I've only been playing for 6 years ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[@faizanahmed8561]

@@Angrypickle5 i have been playing for six years aswell but usually when i do get in attacking positions the last defensive line gets compromised and a few times the counter attack was too fast for me to recover and drop back to help my teammates

Not sure if you already have but a video on how to kick the ball would be useful. Like leg swing, how to follow through, etc. I've really been struggling with long balls and shots with power and precision

Appreciate it mate :) Reminders are always good

[@litalzigelboim795]

your videos have so much quality, when i looked at your subscribers i saw you deserve much more

[@JJ-ji5sr]

I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I always lacked confidence on the pitch, and by applying the "stay on your toes" piece of advice before receiving the ball, and I'm much more effective. I think I just upgraded my game by 30% only with this little trick. So thank you again for blessing us with your simple yet amazing content ps : I used to do boxing for a while, and being or your toes is mandatory if you don't want to be a punching ball on the ring, I guess I'll just stay on my toes in every sport I try or even in my everyday life 😂

[@thefootballfolk]

You are very welcome! Thank you for sharing :)
