Mastering 1v1's: Pro Attacking & Defending Tips from an ex Premier League baller

While football is a team game that can only be won when there is unison amongst all 11 players, how each player deals with their own individual battles is key to any team’s success.
Because ultimately when you’re on the pitch, it’s you as a winger up against your full-back, or you as a centre-back up against your striker, etc. In those moments you need to have the understanding and guile of how to come out on top 😤
Which is why we’ve put together this video, led by former Premier League player and current coach, Mark Beard. Who walks you through all the pro tips to help you master 1v1 situations in both attacking and defending scenarios! 😈

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.

[@TrainEffective]

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. A structured football education helps guide those raw diamonds to become masterpieces

[@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.

[@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.

[@legends1172]

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.

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

[@nickhumph]

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!

[@LAFootballer]

​@@nickhumphthanks so much I will do!

[@data9594]

As a rugby player I admire footballers. I wish I could play I’m too big and slow lol

[@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.

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.

[@frickofunky2008]

This is a whole lot of bullshit, pausa is a fundamental part of dribbling. Look at all the real ballers out there like Lamine yamal, Messi, Neymar, Jamal Musiala. They don't accelerate right after taking a first touch at you like an idiot, they pause they look they observe. It's a coherent rhythm of different variations. I'm sorry to say this but don't take anything seriously from this guy.
