Here are some hints that could help a soccer player improve his playing moves.
Hope these tips could improve the skills of every soccer player.
oGo to the open spot (space), stay away from your defender (opponent), you may have a better position for an open chance to receive the ball.
oIf you are a defender under pressure, try to kick the ball down field or over the touch line.
oIf the soccer ball is out of view, focus on your defense.
oAvoid dribbling when you can make a constructive pass or cross.
oDo Constructive passes across the field and behind as well as in front.
oHave an easy play.
Let the ball work for you and do not wok for the ball.
oWing forwards should be always alert and close to the touch line.
This move can make the defender out from the middle of the field which might give you a chance to have open spaces for your attack.
oForwards should switch positions several times during the game with other members of the forward line.
This move could confuse the opponent's defender.
oThe closer the game heads to your own goal, the tighter the defense you should have.
oDefenders can pass back to the goalkeeper as a safety tactic.
Pass to the outside of the soccer goal mouth.
oIf at a point the defender is faced with two or more attackers, retreat slowly (stop and slow down the attacker) giving more time for teammates to come back for help.
oAs a defender, stay between the ball and goal.
oDefenders must have control and command.
Let the opponent commit himself first.
oAlways respect the referee's decision.
oLastly, play the ball and not the man.
