The Session

Inspired by Messi, this week 1v1 Skill is very difficult to defend against because you’re using the outside of your body to twist out and touch out.

Step 1: Drive out at an angle
Step 2: Bring strong foot around and twist your body 
Step 3:
Quality touch with the outside 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!!

Make sure to film your challenge and upload it to the app to become the next Player Of The Week. 

Saul Isaksson-Hurst spent 10 years coaching in Premier League Academy Football at Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea FC.
