i would like to know (in your opinion) the most simple yet effective moves to do as a forward. And how to do them, thanks in advance |
The most effective moves to use as a forward depend on your personal abilities and style. Here are some of the essentials:
1. First touch (you can easily beat or trick defenders by applying a deadly first touch)
As a forward, your time is limited, as you will often be marked by at least one opponent. Learn to set up the ball in direction uncomfortable for your marker instead of trapping it.
2. Change of pace (approaching your enemy at full speed makes you predictable)
If you approach your enemy at top speed there is little more you can do. This becomes predictable and he probably won't let you beat him the second time. That is why, when approaching an opponent, you should be moving below your top speed. As you near the enemy, you suddenly change direction and/or accelerate past him.
3. Faking (very effective way of freezing your opponent)
Feints are effective not when elaborate but when your enemy doesn't see them coming. Every time an opponent confronts you, ask yourself, what is the first thing that he expects you to do? by Expert 22:31:59 Friday 2 July 2004 |
