>> David: Welcome to the video everyone. Today I'm going to show you five attacking
moves that every attack minded player should know and not only know, but should use in
matches. If you can master these five moves or at least
get your ability for each to a greater level, you'll be that much more effective in games,
just so much more effective in games. now what I'm going to do, I've broken the
video down a little. This intro video, shortly after this intro
video, which won't take much longer I promise, we'll get into the footage, I'm going to first
show you a slowed down version of the move so that you can see how the move is done with
me explaining how this move is actually performed. So that way you are not just looking at a
video of me doing the move in a fast pace because that way you might not exactly know
what you should, the steps are or how to do it.
So first I want to show you how to actually do the move.
Then I'll show you it sped up and at the end of this video I will give you my suggestion
on how to improve doing these moves and how you can practice.
I'll also put that in the description, just a little practice routine you can do everyday
or every other day to improve these moves. So after saying all that let's get into it.
You'll find that first I'll name the move, I'll do the slow version then sped version,
I actually have some match footage of myself doing some of these moves in a match.
Now before any of you critisize the competition it was a coed league that I was just playing
in for fun, a friend invited me to play a few games on the team.
So it's not the best competition, but I promise you if you get good at these moves and you
can use it against almost any competition and many professional players at the highest
level use these moves So let's get right onto the footage.
Alright everyone and now I'm going to show you how to do the stepover.
It's a very very effective move for any attacking player in or around the box or on the wing.
I'll show you how to do it slowly and then I'll have a clip of me doing it quickly, I
even have some game footage to go with it as well.
alright so I'm going to show you how to do it.
Usually when you do it you want to be running at the defender hitting the ball with the
outside of your foot, quickly come over it and go out the other way.
so with the left. You'll be running at the defender, time it,
left way and that way. You want to give it a little bit of a lean
the way you step. So if you are using your right foot, you not
only want to step over you want to lean so you're also selling it with the lean while
also stepping that leg. So if I'm going to do it a little bit faster.
I'll come at you. It looks like this.
Ok? So with the left same thing.
Now it's very important that although you should be doing this with speed running at
the defender, in the clip I show you you'll see a perfect of what I'm about to say, you
don't want to be going full speed at them. You want to be going at a moderate pace, do
your stepover and burst after you've done the stepover, burst right past them.
So when you take that little step to fake i't going to make them do, while they are
kind of off balance like that you want to just sprint into that space that was just
created. So basically you'll go up, you'll do your
stepover and then go off, you'll burst into space.
So it'll look like this. I don't have much space here but I'll try
not to run into a wall. So you're going at decent pace then you'll
burst. Ok?
So decent pace then burst. And that my friends is how you do the stepover.
Alright guys now we are going to move onto one of the most effective moves you can use
and the best player in the world currently Lionel Messi, has mastered this move and it
is one of the main reasons that and his great ball control, along with some other attributes
that makes him such a formidable player. Now the Body Feint looks very simple, but
it has to be executed right for it to be effective. One of the great things about it is that you
can do it and keep the ball still under very good control to set yourself up for your next
move or recover. So the body feint slowed down looks just like
this. This is one you can do while moving or you
can do it static or you just do the feint and throw them off, turn around and do whatever.
So let me show just one. You're going to lean while putting your foot
past it and go the other way. So coming from this end.
Whatever way you want to go. You lean and go the other way.
A little bit faster it looks like this. Make sure you do your left foot as well.
So as you can see, you not only want to kind of drop your shoulder on the side you want
to fake, you also want your foot to go past the ball like this.
So not only is your body feint your lean selling the move, but it also looks like your foot
is going to take the bal. It looks like you're going to go like this
with the ball. So try it so that you are knocking your foot
past the ball. Try to get it as close to the ball without
touching it, while also concentrating on your body feint.
Let me just do a couple fast ones. So you can see again game pace.
I'm just going to do a few. So I come in like that.
And really sell it, really lean. Stay on your toes, really lean.
Getting ready for your next move. Ok?
Ok everyone I'm going to quickly explain the chop or the fake shot move.
A move that you can see players like Robin Van Persie doing, Suarez, Eden Hazard.
Thierry Henry used it a lot when he was playing for Arsenal in his prime.
And the reason these really great players use this move is because it's so effective.
Now it's really effective in and around the box because you are giving off the illusion
that you are going to shoot it, but then turning it back onto your other foot.
So let me show you what it looks like slow. So basically, if I'm going to fake with my
right foot. I'm going to go at the defender, I'm going
to do like a little fake and go to the right. I want him to almso know that I'm doing it,
so that he kinda moves there before me. So I'm doing it, maybe a bad fake, chopping
it, and then I got the shot with my left. Same with the left say I do like a move..
I like doing a stepover when doing it on my left because it makes it look like I'm going
to do the stepover then shoot. So I'll do a stepover, come over here, chop
it back to my right and then curl it into a corner.
So here's what it looks like a little bit faster.
So let's say I mathews onto my .. That one wasn't great but let me try with
my left. Ok guys I'm going to also very quickly break
down the maradona, something everyone thinks is complicated, let's uncomplicate it.
First off you'll notice that I messed up once in that video, don't get frustrated if you
mess up during practice. Just pick your head up and do it again and
do it again until you get it right. So here's how you do it.
I might have to come down here a little bit. If my opponent is coming from the ball at
an angle or if they are kinda facing me and they are over here, this is perfect because
when he come in. The best thing about a Maradona is as I come
around, I'm shielding the ball now. So the only way he is going to get it is foul
me, or just not get it at all if I execute it right.
So this is a move you only really want to do when a defender is coming at you from an
angle. If he's straight ahead of you and you turn
like this, the ball is exposed to him and you kinda exposed what kind of move you're
gonna use. So it looks like this.
What I would suggest is knocking it to the side to draw him at an angle.
So if you noticed from the video I was knocking it the the side first.
So knock it to the side the defender is going to follow.
Then I come. He's already over here and I spin away and
I'm shielding. Same with the left.
Knock it into space. Touch, touch, shield and go.
So again a little bit faster it looks like this.
This one is a little harder to do, but it can be really really effective.
So keep practicing it. Okay guys I'm going to really quickly show
you how to do a stanley mathews. It's usually done around the box for shooting
or if you're on the wing and you want to come back towards the center.
So here's how you do it. Say I have a defender in front of me.
It's just leaning one way, touch, touch. Like that.
That's the slowed down version, I'll do it slow with my left.
Touch, touch then you can shoot. One more time.
Touch, touch then you can shoot. This is how it looks fast.
Okay everyone thank you for watching the video. I promise you and I'm one hundred percent
sure that if you do these moves daily you'll become a much more dynamic player in the attack
with your team, improve in practices and you'll impress a lot of people and you'll just get
so much better. In the description below, I have a little
training regiment you can follow. It's a daily thing you can do.
Little practices with the ball doing these moves that will cause you to become better.
You can either follow that or configure one of your own, it's up to you.
I promise to you that if you stick to the one I've given you, you will within as little
as a week, see improvements of your ability on each of these moves.
