On my team, we were down a striker since he was sick, so instead of playing my usual position, RM, my coach puts assigns me striker. (I'm just reflecting what I did to what you taught us in this video) So right after half time, it was 1-0, my team was losing, and we are past the midfield and heading towards defense. I had been marked by someone so I start to move around, and there was a huge gap in their defensive line. I call for a through ball and when the midfielder (Who took my place, he had been a sub for a while, so this is his chance in the starting 11) finally made the through pass, I sprint full speed, retrieve the ball, then I exploit the gap in the defense, and I took the shot. And scored. The game ended 2-1, my team won the match.
Helpful :) , I initially didn’t play striker but now i do I’ve had 3 games already and haven’t scored we won , tied , and just recently lost 1-0 and i feel like if i had come across this video earlier i would’ve helped my team win , i felt disappointed and mad at myself because I just couldn’t get the hang of it but this video helped me understand now hopefully my next match Monday I will use your tips and score to help my team win !
just use it as much as your can in your solo practice do whatever drills you do with with your strong foot and try doing the same with your weak foot, its all about repetition so just shoot and pass with you weak foot as much as you can and at first it'll be difficult but keep going and overtime you'll get better.....this worked for me :)
I play as striker and I mostly make goals through out seasons because I can shoot from far with both legs I use my body a lot I’m 5’11 but if you don’t have a good midfielder that cant actually open up the wings and give through passes and just wants to dribble and not pass the ball, it’s gone be hard as hell! I played all positions but I feel that for my past 3 years as forward if you don’t make a goal when u have a chance even tho you scored already and your team looses they all go against you that’s why there’s not much good center forwards but there is Alot of freakin defender and midfielders...forward gets all the pressure defending us the easiest I say
dave just a question do u follow pro football weekly like premier league, la liga or bundesliga ? if so which is ur fav team and player?thanx for ur epic videos :)
Yes. Mainly the premier league, but I'll also watch the champions league. Sometimes I'll catch a La liga game or Bundesliga game, but not as often. I support Liverpool and I don't really have a fav player since Gerrard retired, but I really like Adam Lallana
Im going to train every day as hard as i can for the next few years like so I remember (ill keep u updated) Update: going good got into a better team struggling to stay consistent with training but finally starting to get a good schedule going👍
Hi dave! I play cm and lately I've noticed that my turning an passing is slower then before. As a cm it's really important that you can move the ball quickly to all the places on the pitch. I was always quite good at this, but now the opponents are getting faster an stronger, and like I said, I begin to notice the lack of speed I have when in the role of a playmaker. Do you have any tips/drills that can help me improve the speed of my turning and passing? (btw sorry for the bad english) Keep up the good work!
All good! As you get older and/or move up levels, the game gets faster. But this is good! It challenges you to adapt and get better as well. One thing I've found helpful is to simply practice passing against a wall and turning very quickly over and over again. Once you have the movement down, you can keep trying to go faster and faster. We are actually covering passing and receiving in the 30 day challenge that's coming up in April. Definitely, join that as it will have some drills that will help with this. The video will be out towards the end of March. Also, your English is actually pretty good!
Hey Dave, in my matches I move a lot and look for space but I am never in the right position because of the running I don't know what I'm doing wrong because I'm moving a lot but not getting in the right places. Please give me some advice to solve this
I used to have similar problems too Then I used to make runs deep to collect and start play but I. Was. Not getting goals Then I stopped and started moving deep just to touch the Ball and drag defenders out of position and immediately target the last line of defense Main takeaway is if you keep attacking and running around the last line of defense, you'll get in More great positions Now I score for fun with that tweak
Really thanks to God... god me those runs from my birth .. this runs are really works... sometimes my opponent stopper ask me " why you run to much? Plz don't run coaach will kill me if you score.. " That fell really great ... try this all striker
I'm a forward but like my teammates like at the same time ask for the ball and idk if I should just ignore them or like pass it to them when there in the box because I don't want them to call me a ball hog
hey simply soccer can strikes dribble the opponents because I like how messi plays and dribble opponents and I like to play like that so I don't no can strikers do what messi does
Forward- MOVE ALONG DEFENDER LINE MAKE THEM NERVOUS!!!! BE A GOOD FRONT DEFENDER AS WELL BETWEEN THE DEFENDERS PASSES ETC, LOOPING RUNS BETWEEN, BEHIND, FORWARD DEFENDERS
