How To Beat A Defender One v One | The Ultimate Dribbling Tutorial For Footballers 

+Minto Varghese Thanks mate

they don't want us to know how to beat them

if this was a joke...it's really a good one😂😂😂😂

I'm getting old and trying to get better at dribbling because I've played D for decades. I like this video and others of his. In general he's correct, but good defenders have tricks too. When you come straight at me I can often turn you where I want you to go because you are reading my moves. My moves CAN be feints too, designed to turn you outside or to your weaker foot. A good defenders does a lot of observing to see what preferences the offensive player he's covering has. I have taken myself out of games so I can watch my opponent from the sideline, to come back in better prepared. Also, it's true that turning the defender and shooting past is good. However, a quick and fast defender will be back on you very rapidly. Turning creates momentum and since you are turning around an axis as a defender, you can direct that momentum in any direction. Making a defender shift sideways is much more damaging because momentum is committed only one way. A spin lets me plant then go in any direction. Watch an NFL lineman spin off an opponent and see how quickly they come around toward the QB. It's the same in soccer. I think the video is good, very useful but these are basic ideas for beating an inexperienced or non-thinking defender. Despite striker's assertions, offense is not the creative part of the game. A good defender is a predator, always watching for weakness to exploit and every forward has tells and preferences if you know what to look for.

😂😂😂😂😂

Joshua Santhosh it’s low quality Fuck u

Yes indeed, good one!

Thanks so much mate, that means a lot!

Claie U I appreciate the positive feedback, thank you!

i thought you said how TO do something. Not NOT doing something

Exactly mate, good points to take away. Also remember slightly manipulating the ball in different directions and changing speed are also ways to be more unpredictable 👍

Tsering Palkey You gotta sway dem trees

DaniXtreme3 That's an interesting request mate, I'll see what I can do!

7mlc Thanks!

In general trying to out muscle a defender is ineffective. If you try to use your body against a defender directly, as in pushing or leaning you are in too close. Not having the ball to protect allows the defender to use the power of their legs to physically unbalance you. My thighs have more power and are at a lower center of gravity than your upper body, even if you outweigh me considerably. In a running situation, for a quick bump to off balance a defender it can work. My opinion is though that footwork and acceleration far exceed physicality on offense.

what I've always done is once I dribble past someone I cut them off instantly even if it's easier to keep going straight. When you do this they'll either trip over your legs and it's a foul and or they will eventually back off so they don't trip you(this is what messi does alot and it makes them back off of you once you've passed them).

I appreciate the positive feedback!

Thanks mate!

I appreciate that man!

let's just say this player have play every position he basically know how every player play what they going to try and doing , this player can predict what you going do and he got some speed the reason this player want to stop you is cause trying to buying time or making you tired .

Unless the defender is an actual mind reader, you can always find a way to beat him 👍

some people could be a really fast learner , like you learn by looking at playing like messi harzard robben play and other top player , but mbappe can't pass again thiago silva , don't give your opponent too many touch , never let them get the ball and all ways stay close to them , disturb them when they running , like a car can't drive over another car when there a car at front of them . Imagine a defender learning what you teach about how to defeat defender they learning something there how to avoid to be defeat .

Akira Sakura you just go in knowing the space you want to run in. And if the player reacts and knows where you are going you can do a fake or just use your skills to get passed them.

@@7mlc I don't know, defenders have tricks too.

Thanks so much mate!

SoccerSkiller Thanks so much mate!

Legendary Fan Thank you for the request 👍

Anonymous Messi I appreciate it mate, thank you!

Roquemos Brola ok

Thanks so much mate!

@@7mlc well I have a question for you If your nudging at a defender, hell start backing up. Should you do your body feint if he's still backing up?

@@lewandirkski9662 I'd say you should probably continue to nudge the ball at them until they decide to dive in. Then you do a body feint. That's what I would do.

@@nikhil_morales I do the same but the problem is that if I nudge a the defender, they usually don't dive in but I still come too close to them because I move faster.

@@lewandirkski9662 Well if they are backing up slowly, you can do two things. They would probably be flat-footed, so a quick move beside them at speed, should beat them. Also, you could slow down your speed of play, and then quickly accelerate again, testing if a change in pace would be able to beat the defender.

I appreciate that, my pleasure mate!

Santos Santos Thank you mate, Happy it helps!

Bro u should take a touch at every step and the step should be as small as our walking step And the answer of 2nd question is that u should never plan ur move just predict the weak side of defender and quickly think in mind which move is best which allows u to accelerate at his weak side Hope it will help u bro

Thanks so much mate!

Happy to help!

Really appreciate it, thank you!

Haha XD

True

Happy I could help mate!

These things happen in football. It's all about how you respond positively to the situation 👍

The same thing here bro, i have speed and strength ans skills but what i isually didn't used while holding the ball is," Stretching our hands to protect the ball" and can't give a fabulous shoot from left leg.

Excuses if they're worse than you you would have made it and they wouldn't have made it.

Same with me I was up against another trialist did terrible on the drills but rang rings round him and his teammates for the game scored a few goals just I never was a team player which I rarely passed and was quiet as a mouse when my teammates had the ball I usually put my hand up when wanting the ball just I never shouted for it I always tracked back for my team and the trialist all he did was pass the ball n shouted for it n he got in and I was let go really pissed me off that coach says I lack game awareness and I’ve never really had game experience either but I was always good at skill and being able to outrun players with the ball thought it was what coaches are looking for players to play in the wing position, to get by defenders and score goals and when other team has possession you track back and man mark n stay on him till your team wins the ball and make a run for the counter attack.

Roland Ralte Plenty more to come mate, glad you're enjoying them!

Thank you Samir!

Simon Jenvey Thank you Simon!
