Effectively beating opponents requires patience and good reflexes.
As you near an opponent, lock your eyes on his feet and be prepared to react to his threats.
When you decide to go around him, lower your eyes to the ball and concentrate on the execution.
Evading tackles
Approach your enemy at a comfortable pace.
Keep your center of gravity low by leaning forward and bending your knees.
Do not try to beat your opponent right away unless he is out of balance or flatfooted.
Instead, stay on your toes and be prepared to move laterally in either direction.
Look at these visual examples:
In both situations, the defender starts out with balanced footing. But in frame two he raises one foot off the ground. If he raises his foot that is further away from the ball, you move out. If he raises his foot that is nearer to the ball, you move in. Get it? You're "attacking" his supporting foot.
Faking
At times, your opponent will be very patient.
If he has you covered and refuses to "bite", you can get him off his balance by faking.
When you execute different feints and tricks, you force your opponent to freeze up or lose balance. Be prepared to react quickly, because he may be off balance for just a split second.
