The Session

The Twist In is a dynamic 1v1 skill used a lot in games by Phil Foden. The key thing is to drive at an angle and then twist around the ball and get a good quality connection with the inside of your foot to drive at an angle.

Step 1: Drive out at an angle
Step 2: Bring strong foot around and twist your body 
Step 3:
Quality touch with the inside of your foot into space
Step 4: Explode away into space

Saul’s top tip: Keep your toe pointed down and pivot around the whole ball.

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