Best 3 Soccer Moves To Beat A Defender
from The Soccer Essentials
Do not overcomplicate your 1v1 dribbling.
If Lionel Messi, is the best dribbler in the world (ie: most successful dribbles completed per season) then let’s emulate his dribbling style.
Here are a few ideas to improve your 1v1 success rate:
- Be direct (attack the space / don’t wait for players to close you down).
- In 1v1 situations make one quick move, change of direction or speed.
- Be aware of your opponents body movement (when they stop or commit, you go).
Do not be afraid to take players on in 1v1 situations.

Continue to learn tricks and work on your freestyle skills.
But…
Let freestyle be something you do
after you’ve completed your real training.

Your objective is performing better on game day, being an impact player, and making a difference in matches. Spending hours developing your freestyle tricks won’t help you do that. However, learning a few cool and easy soccer tricks can be fun and will definitely help you improve your ball control.

Top 5 Soccer Skills Every Player Needs
from The Soccer Essentials
Most players make the mistake of focusing on 1 or 2 specific skills and neglecting the rest.
Luckily…
You are not like most players.
Ensure that you address all 5 of these soccer skills in your own training routine:
- Juggling (ball control)
- Dribbling
- Passing
- Receiving (first touch)
- Shooting
In order to become your best,
you must become a “complete” player.
That also means improving your weak foot.
The only reason one foot is weaker than the other is because you have made the choice to neglect it. If your weak foot, had the same amount of dribbles, passes, touches, and shots as your strong foot… it would not be weak.
Make the choice to have two strong feet.
Always…
Practice these skills with both feet.
