How to do the Maradona

This trick here is a useful trick and works to deak your defender most of the time. The tornado or maradona is where you do a 180 with the ball around another play (ex: a defender).

Step 1: Stop the ball with the underside of your foot
Step 2: Spin either left or right while rolling the ball around your foot
Step 3: Practice

I know this is a-bit confusing to follow so I found a video on youtube that might help.
Here's the video below:

How to do the Ronaldinho Flip Flap or Elastico

Here is a move that ronaldinho likes to do. Practice the steps over and over again until you have perfected the moves.

Step 1: Push the ball with the out side of your right foot. In a right diagonal direction and lean your weight in that direction
Step 2: Quickly cut your foot to the left so the ball cuts to the left
Step 3: This should be done all in one motion
Step 4: Practice, Practice, Practice

If you are left footed do everything the opposite of what I explained. If this was a-bit confusing watch the video below of ronaldinho doing the move.

Triangle Passing Drill

This drill is a good drill for passing. You get three people then possition your self's in a triangle. Then start passing the ball around the triangle. You could also add a fourth person and make him/her be the piggy or monkey and you could play piggy in the middle by passing around a soccer ball.

Shooting drills

Shooting is another very important thing in soccer. I mean if you couldn't shoot there wouldn't be goals. This skill is another skill you should practice. Here's a good drill for shooting.
1. Get a tarp and put it up on a wall
2. Place targets on the tarp
3. Shoot at the targets

This drill is good because the tarp stops the balls sort of and you learn accuracy. Try shooting with the inside of your foot. Or the outside of your foot. You can also practice shooting with your less dominate foot. So if you were left footed you could try kicking with your right foot for a while.

Passing Drills

I would have to say passing is one of the most important things in soccer. It moves the ball and creates chances for goals and it can also tire the other team out. Passing can be used in many ways and you should try to practice passing alot. The most basic pass is where you use the inside of your foot to kick the ball, try practicing this often even if you think you are good at it. Remember there is always room for improvement.

Then you should move on to more advanced passes like chipping the ball to another player as a pass. Try thinking of other ways to pass.

How to do around the world

This is a pretty neat trick, but it take a-bit of practice. The around the world is where you are juggling and you spin you foot around the ball in mid-air. To start off you should try doing the trick with the ball stalled like this.


Then lift the ball up and quickly spin you foot around the ball in mid-air. Once you have mastered this you can move on to doing the trick while juggling

How to do a Step Over Fake

The steps for doing this move is to step over the ball with either your right or left foot. If you are stepping over the ball with your right foot, you will fake left. Then kick right. And its the opposite for the left footed fake.
