[@345_Uli]

I play greatly with both feet can kick perfectly it’s weird cause I never practiced my left foot

[@SportsFan-gr8zx]

A few extra things I’ve learned from other KZbin videos & playing: - Always keep an arm’s length from who you’re marking. This way they’re less likely to successfully turn around you - Stay goal-side of your player - You succeed as a defender either if you get the ball OR they are forced to pass because you’ve contained them successfully by jockeying - If in doubt, kick it out! - Stay on the balls of your feet / don’t be flat footed - Don’t forget you can block their shots with your body!

[@mfawls9624]

Success as a defender is simple - your man does not score. Some players you want to be closer than arm's length, some at and some further. You can get up against a player and keep your quads pushing into his hamstrings and push that way (never gotten called on that). You can also be right up against and use their body to spin off, like an NFL lineman; it allows you to quickly channel your momentum in a different direction.

I am thirty and play football(after a gap of 12years). I am not quick these days so I watched your basics of defending videos and I implied just 3 techniques consistently and practiced them a lot in my mind on my way to the ground. Now even the best dribblers of the club players are finding it tough to go past me. I just corrected my stance when closing in players and that has made me earn respect in my team as a defender. But I am watching many videos/matches and defenders are losing because of not using these basics. You are seriously an underrated channel. You deserve more

[@affanaliemanet440]

can u help me?

[@biancarickord3726]

This is very helpful! I’m a defender in an adolescent league and my coach told me to go home and watch soccer, thank you!!

[@mfawls9624]

Because most coaches view defense as simply having to react to what the offense does. A good defense can dictate the offense. Control speed of attackers, channel ball carriers to certain space, etc. Defenders need to process a lot of incoming information constantly...who is where, where is the goal, is your man a shooter or a passer, can I lure a pass that I can then cutoff... All these things are calculations you must make over and over in a game. You have to adjust to your opponent's (individually and as a defense group) style and strengths. If they want to play blitzkrieg offense you figure out how to slow them. If they are methodical you disrupt them upfield. Most of all...keep your own offense out of your defensive area. They are generally lazy as far as sticking with coverage and it's always best to keep them up front so the other team can't overload your end. Defense cannot win games. At best it can hold a zero/zero tie. Only offense wins games so make your offense stay upfield and scoring.

[@rollercoasterwolfboy6795]

M Fawls yeah, you’re right.I was told that to be a defender you have to look at the ball and the game at the same time ;and, I mean, that summed it up

[@NathanETS-2]

Number one rule of a good defender is be strong never let a stricker get space always be agressive a keep in mind if you get nutmeg don’t worry he can do you as long as he want but as long as he dont score you okay mann never let that pussy distract you make you neverous and play with your mind the feet are your tools

[@jamesfox4061]

Anyone else jockey either way depending on the side of the pitch your on or the opposing players stronger side? So left foot forward on right side to send the attacker wide?

[@SanDeezyBreezy61986]

That is what I was taught. Always try to force them to the sidelines vs. letting them go to the middle of the field.

[@SportsFan-gr8zx]

Good idea!

[@nick1177]

you mean exactly the way he ( and every single coach) describes? The only time you push them inside is if you have a specific setup that utilizes a pocket trap.

[@bartekkowalski8393]

It depends on your teams style. If you have a lot of support in the mid you can pretty much surround them if you play it right
