The Session

This weeks 1v1 skill is a combination movement starting with an Mbappé, into a roll and then into an outside cut. This is ideal for wide areas if your back directly to side of the pitch and you need to explode away into space. The lateral side to side movements are very difficult to for the defender to block.

Step 1: Touch Out
Step 2: Mbappé
Step 3:
Roll & Outside Cut
Step 4: Explode away into space

Saul’s top tip: Master a quality touch on your first touch into the Mbappé with the inside of your foot with your toe pointed down and your head over the ball.

Remember to try this on your strong foot and your weak foot and try this in games and training!!
