The Two Footed Flick-Up



Hey  there  everyone.   Heikal  here  and  I've   stumbled   on  one   of  the   rarest  soccer  tricks  that  are  hardly  used  by  professional  soccer   player  nowadays.

It's  called  the  "two-footed"  flick-up  performed  by   a  Mexican  player   Blanco.

The  game   goes  way  back  in  the  World  Cup   1998  where  Mexico  played  against  South  Korea.

The  soccer  trick   performed  by   Blanco   took  the  South   Korean  defenders  by  surprise  as  it  came  from  a  very  tight  situation  and   out  of  the  blue.

Here   are  the   steps  to   perform  this  soccer  trick:

1. At  stand-still,   place  both  feet  against  the  ball   tightly


2. Once  you're   confident  with  the  grip,  flick  it  up.

When  watching  the  video,  here  are  some  tips  to  ponder:

1. How  Blanco  manages  to  find   a  small   gap


2. How  performs  soccer  flick   quickly  with  precision  under  pressure

Enjoy   the  video   and   have  a   great  freestyling   day!

Denilson: Dazzling the Dutch Defence


Hey guys, Heikal here and it's been a while since I wrote the last post. Today I would like to share something that you might have been familiar with.


It's called the step-overs as the title pretty much self-explanatory. The step-overs for most soccer and freestyle soccer players are quite familiar with.


So I've decided to show this video on how you might benefit and use them during the Sunday league or at school tournament or even just for kick-abouts.


This video brings way back to 1998 World Cup Semi-Final between Brazil and Holland (that's 13 years!). More about World Cup 1998: Soccer - FIFA World Cup Vol 4 - 1990 - 1998


The left-footer Denilson outshones the Dutch with an attractive yet smooth step-overs to then cross the ball from the left.


Here are some tips that could benefit your game:


1. How he caught the defender off-balance


2. How he managed to find space to cross the ball


Enjoy the video and have a great day!
