2. Introduction
So, you're playing soccer and this annoying friend of yours
comes up to you and starts bragging. You want to improve. Do
you want to know how? Then here are some tips that will
improve your game skills. Put these tips into practice and your
game level will substantially increase soon.
3. How to Improve Your Game in Soccer
Remember that soccer is a team sport
Try to move the ball more than yourself
Press
Use the element of surprise
Use the sides of the field
Remain focused
Practice
Have fun
4. Remember that Soccer is a Team Sport
Always play with that in mind. Never play for your own glory,
but for the whole team's sake. It's better to sacrifice some
personal recognition and make sacrifices for the team.
5. Try to Move the Ball More Than Yourself
It is an energy-saving strategy. If you run all the time
everywhere on the field, you will be tired within the first 10
minutes. Remember that the ball will always move faster than
you. So its better to move it around fast than move yourself
with it. Save your energy for when you really need to run.
6. Press
Don't let your opponent receive the ball so neatly. Make
him/her receive the ball facing backwards. Put pressure on
him/her and force him/her to make mistakes. Be careful,
however, of committing a foul or injuring your opponent.
7. Use the Element of Surprise
Don't make your next move too obvious. Put the ball at the
back of the last defending line while a teammate runs to
receive your assistance. Change the rhythm of your run, quick
at first and when your opponent is coming at you, step on the
brakes.
8. Use the Sides of the Field
If there are too many people in the center, it will be difficult to
create game in that area, so use wing-men on your team to
exploit the sides. Penetrate those areas and then send the ball
to the center for a teammate to finish the play. Hint- be careful
not to knock the ball out of bounds of the field when you do
this.
9. Remain Focused
Don't forget that the game hasn't finished until the referee says
so. So don't lose yourself only because you are winning or
because there is little time left. A goal in the last minute can
make you lose a game or even a championship.
10. Practice
Spend about an hour everyday just as solitary practice or with
a friend or coach working on the things you need to improve
on. (One thing to practice is keeping the ball low. Practice just
tapping the ball in low, then getting gradually more powerfully.
11. Spread out
A mistake that most teams and most players have is all the
players flocking near the ball. If an opponent has the ball, one
person is enough. If a fellow teammate has the ball give them
some space. But remember to have a player a bit behind
whoever has or whoever is trying to steal the ball.
