Get past people is not about how fancy or acrobat you are, is about the acceleration, reaction and strength. When you look at messi, robben or others pro, they dont need a lot of crossover, drag back etc. Just a body faint, and then accelerate with your quad and protect with your body strength.
Dribbling past a players in a 5 aside or 11 a-side is different (easier) to dribbling past someone 1v1 with nobody else involved. I 1v1 you need to do something to make the othe player lose their balance or go the other way; a drag back, step over or feint etc.
yeah i agree. they’re used to people biting, whereas he just waited for them to commit. not one of them tried to go direct. they all lost all their momentum trying 50 stepovers first.
I was thinking about that when they said to him he was halfway thru like to reassure him as if he were tired and he looked like he could have a smoke and eat a sandwich. He looked like he could have done another twelve people no problem without even breaking a sweat. I had a friend of mine who was a pro player that used to come to my place to take me to run. While I thought I was dying, he used to say: "okay, now we are halfway thru", and I was, like, "WHAT?". Then when I was completely out of it, he was like, "alright, but the last leg we do it SPRINTING". And then, when I literally collapsed to the ground, he lifted me up and said "okay, now we go play tennis", and took the racket and balls.
The different is too big. I remember playing futsal with pro GK in my country yet he dribble like pro futsal player. No matter what their position is, as long as they are pro, they are far more comfortable with ball than us
@@andyangchannel not sure about his finishing bcs he love to assist but hes a solid dribbler in that game. He play for national team that time so hes at his peak.
Same with my cousin, he played GK when we were young and he somehow ended up going pro at midfielder and played for 10 years in europe (romania, bulgaria, cyprus and then went to qatar) and played for our national team (gabon). people don't realize even a pro goalkeeper is much better than you on the ball
Balance and acceleration difference is massive. Even if get him past with some skills or movements, getting caught up within 2 steps at most. No chances
Those first 2 or 3 meters of explosion after you make a good move as a striker are key. The defender is always with his back to the goal so if you can get to the ball after getting him to shift his weight, you're in good shape. Some of these guys can have a future with the right fitness and strength.
The Messi player has mad talent he’s already explosive and quick with his low center of gravity imagine if he got proper strength and conditioning coach from a club
well pointed out. this is a critical element that many amateur players ignore, even or maybe especially those pro level freestylists. they concentrate too much on using their ball skills and fancy footwork to get the ball past the defender, but they forget they themselves have to go past the defender also. the ball must go past the defender and your BODY must also go past the defender. otherwise, as you can see here, the defender will just step between you and the ball and block you off. apart from foot skills, you should use body feints to fool the defender into putting his weight in the wrong direction or at least be able to quickly shift your body weight to go past the defender yourself. look at how basketball players go past their man. they constantly shift their weight back and forth, back and forth. not being able to do that is fatal, no matter how good your ball skills.
This is absolutely correct. I was a very gifted athlete when it came to top speed, jumping and strength but my initial acceleration and agility was lacking which meant I was useless against more suitable athletes
It can't be seen well in the video, but Gunther after he got stopped in the second attempt, suffered a major injury. He made a video about it, and he had to be operated because of it. I haven't watched his videos for a long time, but I loved watching his amazing skills back then. I hope he will recover soon from that injury ❤❤❤
Oh thats interesting-It must of been an old injury? plus his fitness level at the time especially compared to bakker. Because in the slow motion it's hard to tell what was the cause of it as there was no foul at all. its like something gave way
@@fredwanders2448 yeah it was, he explained that in his career he had many injuries, and that in the last months he wasn't very good due to an inflammation of the groin, but he decided to do this video anyway since he was supposed to do only 2 dribblings. Unfortunately during the second one his harmstring completely detached. Bakker had no fault, he didn't do anything, Gunther's leg simply gave way
@@mtulliociceroneu doubt it. If it detached he wouldn't be able to walk. Likely partial tear. I've had that and I continued playing. The backside of my leg showed internal bleeding. Didn't hurt much but I felt it tear
Love this video. The amateurs gave it a really good go and were skilful but the pro was streets ahead. Slightest mistake and he was on it. They moved a lot, he didn't move much. Thanks for the video to the guys who made it, the amateurs and the pro!
As a former trainer I think all guys are extremely talented ! A professional defender is more athletic and powerful but these are very good not professional players
Freestyle is very different from playing on the field.. you can see he is not as light-footed as someone who frequently plays an 11-a-side.. worse is he is up against a pro defender who plays in Europe.
No worries. But at least you learned. Some people still think that their amateur ahh could actually keep up with the pace and skills of a pro game. Lol. At least you thought these tricksters could do it and not a random amateur guy... Still, there's a reason why we don't see these guys making millions. They just can't do it. Their tricks are not even enough to become a situational role player.
@@raul5081 plus in a real pro game you will have at least 3 other defenders supporting the one that's going one-to-one on you and almost certainly someone behind him. By the time you do these tricks, you would have lost the ball 3 times, also given that defenders do not tend to play so "clean" like in this demonstration. At minimum, they would be pushing your shoulder all the time.
💪 Proof that you can be very good at doing tricks and leave people on the street standing, but being a professional player is on another level! La prueba de que puedes ser muy bueno haciendo firuletes y dejar parada a gente de la calle pero un jugador profesional es otro nivel!
It is all about levels of fitness.A Fitness Gap creates a Gap in the speed with which you change direction and accelerate. That is key. The other extremely important factor they all lack is the shooting quality. No faints at shooting the ball. So all rhe defender needs is patience.
Some of the amateurs actually has very good footwork and at amateur level they would be crushing defenders. Just goes to show how tough it is to become a pro footballer.
Guy is a brick wall. And he's also an exceptional athlete, so when the guys think theyve beat him, his positioning, explosiveness, and speed to recover completely catches them off guard
To beat a good defender you can’t do all of those moves. You need to go at him with speed, pick which direction you’re going diagonally left or right ONCE, and get the shot off.
at my school we had a pro at a charity tournament. First day all the classes and their teachers played against each other. second day the strongest class played vs the worst class, but they got the pro player in addition. it was insane, he wasnt even in a top club and we had a few decent youth/amateur players, who where playing in lower leagues for money already (germany). we had no chance :D dude took over the game singlehandedly and destroyed us :D
The state of the pitch did these guys no favours at all. Love your videos, I religiously watch every single one, but do not think Mr Bakker was the most enthusiastic participant you've had so far haha
21:04 the way he exploded with 2nd touch is insane. So explosive. Thats what other players lacked. They do a lot of mumbo jumbo but not committing 100% to one side and explode.
Think this was the perfect player for a challenge like this. This guy came from the Ajax Academy youth. The best of the best, all with street attitude and lots of smack talk. a challenge like this isn't even pressure for him after all those years.
I haven't seen the video yet, but in these 1vs1 scenarios you never take into account the multiple passing lanes you have to defend or antecipate and it's easier for the defender because there is only 1 threat
Some of them would pass him but they were scared and slowed down. In a 1vs1 situation you need to go as fast as possible, 1-2 balance is enough, you don’t need to do difficult skills, because a good defender focuses only on the ball, he isn’t even looking on the legs.
Beh per vedere queste differenze, basta andare a vedere partite di prima categoria, con in una delle due squadre gente che ha giocato anche "solo" in eccellenza. Tempi, visione e modi di gioco, anni luce più veloci ed è fantastico quando vedi questo 😍 è il bello del calcio! Negli amatori in provincia di Lucca con un mio collega, giocava Igli Vannucchi (ex Empoli per dirne una) e seppur avesse 40 anni, giocava non da fermo.. da seduto e faceva la differenza anche bendato..fantastico 😂❤
francamente avrei potuto difendere anche io in questa sfida,quei ragazzi hanno un tocco migliore del pro ma sono lenti. difendere in un 1vs1 con quello spazio è più semplice rispetto ad attaccare anche fra pro. se poi contro l amatore metti un pro che è allenato quindi più veloce ed esplosivo il risultato è scontato
Messi of Bergiamo and that guy were definetively at pro level, I think atletism and workout makes a huge difference in explosiveness and thats were Bakker were key
I don't have the skill to get past him, but theoretically what I would have done to have the best chance and what I'd advise the next partecipants to do is to just ran at high speed to the defender and then do one/2 changes of directions but not more, and try to get him planted on one side. If you try to do that with skills at slow pace it's not gonna happen, or am I wrong?
What many don't realize the D's body strength alone is enough to stop all amateurs. Elite players (every sport) have elite bodies. You can be the most skilled amateur football player in the world but a real central defender would just body/shoulder barge you out the ball unless you are Messi. Real pro train for the most efficient movements. Being fancy is just a waste of energy.
Man I remember him at Leverkusen and I thought he was an average Bundesliga player but damn he is an absolute beast compared to a pretty good amateur player!
Clearly shows that pure technics/fany tricks aren't to effective, particularly if there's a huge difference in strenght/size/acceleration. That beeing said, the pitch wasn't great for the attackers as the high grass slowed down the ball
he is too good for them. they can maybe score against 2nd league defender or a first season defender not a defender who played in ligue1 bundesliga and seria a and netherlands league XD
It also goes to show that what negative things people say about players accounts for NOTHING. It just goes back on them. Because we have to Remember that players at this level are Xfactor players they are there for a reason, the way we judge them are because they are playing other X factor players- so we need to Remember that before we open our mouths and think we are someone of equal substance in this arena, who are we to cast public "Judgements" on them.
Not to disrepect those guys as they're only playing amateur level, but it's kind of basic that you need to use speed and do the dribbles while moving forward fast to have a chance to get past a defender and use the momentum when he's having his weight on one side. ALL of those players were slowing down as they approached the defender and basically stood still and forced to go backwards and sideways, that makes it completely impossible for them to get past a defender at that level.
Well taking small dudes was a smart move to give them some sort of advantage (theoretically) over a taller defender. Lastly, 2 of them werent Italians anyway
The main difference between amateur players and professional players is they are athletes and amateurs are not at that level even if you amazing someone stronger and faster will always be better. Young players that want to make it got to train the body like a athlete.
