Stylish Soccer Move to Turn a Defender

Key Points:

1. Place your toe studs on top of the soccer ball when it is a few inches in front of your plant foot. 

2. Drag the soccer ball back behind your plant foot and then push the soccer ball to the side using the inside part of your foot. Make sure the soccer ball is behind your plant foot when you push it, not right next to you plant foot.

3. Turn the outside of your plant foot to the soccer ball and take your touch away from your defender by a few steps. When you do a regular pull back V you will take a big touch here with the inside of your foot to push the ball sideways to get away from the defender. But in this situation you want to turn around and go backwards. So take a little touch using the inside of your foot so you have time to turn the outside of your plant foot and take your touch away from the defender.

4. Change pace! After you make this soccer move on your defender change pace and accelerate. DO NOT turn and then go slow all casual like. That is when an athletic defender will catch you and make a play.

5. Make a play. Once you do your turn make a play. By that I mean make a pass and then move again. You've already beaten your defender and you are now going backwards. Pass it off and get open. You just did something fancy, now go back to being simple.
Exercise Player Can Do: Soccer Drills 

After you can do the soccer skill from a stand still it's time to get the cones out and set up our game like situation. Set up a start cone and a defender cone 10 yards ahead of you. Then behind your start cone and to the side will be two cones that will act like a small goal; this will be your imaginary teammate I want you to pass it to after you make your soccer moves. 

Dribble to the defender cone at a decent pace. Do not sprint, but don't walk there. Prior to being on top of the cone do your soccer move, change pace and make your pass to your imaginary teammate. Then grab your soccer ball and repeat. Do this until you feel confident!

What Player Could Be Doing Wrong: 

Some things that could be going wrong. If you are missing the soccer ball with the outside of your foot then you are taking too big of a touch with the inside of your foot and you are probably kicking the ball. Remember to push the soccer ball with the inside of your foot, don't kick it. 

You could also be rushing. When done correctly this move looks smooth; it's not one that is about rushing and power. 

Bonus Tip!

DO NOT do this move when you are right on top of the defender. By waiting to long and getting to close you give the defender a chance to make a play. Do the move a few steps prior to being on top of the defender.
