Are you Confused in Freestyle ?

Are you Confused in Freestyle ?

Picture this, you've seen a lot of freestyle videos and wondering how they do the tricks. So you eager to practice some freestyle but you're not sure where to begin. This is the common problem among beginners in freestyle soccer because I believed that it's important to brush up your basic skills before doing the ever-complicated tricks.

This mini-guide aims to guide freestylers whether you're a beginner or ordinary or maybe an expert to improve on their abilities and learning the right way of freestyle. Thankfully, I've managed to produce this very guide which hopefully will help your freestyle and most importantly increase your freestyle to another level.

Website Coming Soon..

It's been a while since the last post. Both of us have been busy on building our new blog. For the last couple of months, I've been busy conducting a project about freestyle soccer for which I hope it'll be worthwhile. This product is dedicated to the beginners and maybe veterans on learning and improving their freestyle to another level.

The launch of this product is expected to be as early as next week as I've been working like hell on the scripts and website. I shall update this post as soon as the product is launched. So watch this space!

In the meantime, I've a short documentary about Billy Wingrove showcasing one of the knee flap. Basically you just:

1. Balance the ball on your foot ( Footstall )

2. Flick the ball slightly and knee the ball on to the ground to make it a knee flap.

P.S. Enjoy the video!

It has been a long while since my last post. I've been busy with other committments and hopefully this post will make it worthwhile. This is a video I found from Youtube featuring Soufiane Touzani showcasing his freestyle skills along with ground moves in a 5 aside street soccer. After watching this video, I'm starting to think that you can use most of your freestyle ground tricks on 5 aside matches than playing on the soccer field. The most obvious reason I can think of is because you have the luxury of time and space in soccer but not in 5 aside. That's why I believe that playing 5 aside matches demand your freestyle ground and air soccer skills.

Here's the video, the following are the chronology of time for each soccer trick that Touzani performs:

X-over

x-over

X-over is very similar to crossover but the difference is the fact that you don't have to swing your leg over the ball. The soccer trick looks simple at first but difficult once you start to practice. The reason why because this trick challenges your balancing and coordination skills. If you can cope with these two then you have a chance to master this technique relatively ease. Your mind needs to focus on 2 things: 1. cross your standing foot 2. kick it with your stronger foot

Step 1 It's best to start from throwing the ball at your standing or weaker foot.

Step 2 As the ball begins to fall, cross your standing or weaker foot by lifting it over your stronger foot.

Step 3 Then kick the ball with your stronger foot and make sure you get the right contact on the ball i.e center of the ball


Repeat the above steps until you've become familiar with it. Once you've mastered this, you can start do the x-over while juggling the soccer ball.

P.S I shall post the video some time.

MATW

MATW

The Mitchy Around the World or more commonly use as an acronym of MATW is a more advanced technique of ATW and combined 2 soccer tricks; the ATW and the crossover. The MATW usually starts of with the inside ATW and followed by the crossover to complete a soccer trick. In short, the MATW is the combination ( combo ) of both the ATW and the crossover.

There are 2 basic soccer tricks that you'll need to master to complete the MATW combo. First, practice your ATW and then the crossover and finally do the 2 soccer tricks in a combo manner.

The Around the World ( ATW )

Step 1
Place the ball on your stronger foot like a foot stall.

Step 2
As you lift the ball, slightly rotate your foot diagonally and form a 360 turn over the ball to complete the ATW. I strongly emphasis that you lift your foot slightly diagonal instead of straight because to perform ATW, you'll need to be a bit quick to complete the rotation.

The Crossover

Step 1
You can start either by throwing the ball upwards or kick the ball upwards.

Step 2
As the ball falls, do a crossover, normally with your weaker foot by rotate your foot over the ball just like the ATW only you have to wait until the ball comes down.

The MATW

You can start by doing the ATW first and as you complete the ATW immediately raise your weaker foot to perform the crossover and to complete the MATW combo of soccer trick.
