I was a forward as a kid until I turned 10 and got put into midfield because of my great gassing at the time, then I got played in DM and eventually in defence without having been taught to tackle properly. I wasn’t playing well off the ball 80% of the time and so I decided to change that. This video is so helpful and it really teaches well. Great work!
U can't if the opponent presses well. Just play a long ball that is the only way. If u have some decent midfielders in ur team they can help to pass around the press.
if u mean team pressing, spread out, play wide. if u mean individual pressure, just keep your body between them and the ball and dont panic. if you can dribble into space, pass or make a quick 1-2, do it. just dont panic.
Very true. I never use to be scared of anything in soccer till I sprained both my ankles multiple times (surgery on one of them) and a sprained ACL. I feel like a wimp now when I use to be the fearless person ever, even going up against big guys in co ed
I used to win lots of 50/50 balls because I wasn’t scared but I hurt my knee and now I’m kind of a wimp but sometimes the fear just disappears and I don’t know why but I don’t think I’m the same it sucks
@@aezurefx i feel you, i also used to play as a defender but I wasn't very effective until i learned how to use every slide tackle, then i can completely take the ball from 1v1 smoothly
Your defensive videos are always on point. Succinct, well explained, and best of all..not over complicated. Soccer isnt complicated. Its a game of individual battles. Just win yours. Deuces
This man’s name is Will John. I’ve been subscribed to his RUclips for years now, he has almost a million subscribers. When he says I am the media now, he’s not lying. His channel has nothing to do with politics, he’s a soccer player, who teaches others how to play the game correctly! Keep killing it Will !
those i play with needs to watch this. im a gk and everytime the defense is shit. Im telluing them we have like 4 attackers but they arent listening and go up
My best 3 tips: 1. It’s a dance of deception that both sides play.. not just attackers. Sudden sharp fake movements throws off many. 2. First tackle as hard as allowed but look slightly clumsy.. then immediately and genuinely apologise to the player. They’ll avoid you as much as possible. 3. Adjust your position of foot/leg/body to anticipate deflections in your favour.
Thanks your videos are helping me help my son hes 6 1/2 been playing 5 seasons now. Im trying to learn about soccer i played and coached american Football so this is all new to me Thanks again.
Would love a video on how not to get beat by an attacker because as an attacking midfielder when I’m defending that’s my flaw getting beaten by dribbling and by passing around me
It’s simple if he’s about to receive the ball you have to immediately press him and make him pass the ball back, if he’s on the sidelines always keep you posture on a slight angle (don’t be squared you’ll fall) and try make him do a mistake, the point is to slow him down and make him helpless, and that’s it.
If your getting beaten by passing you need to communicate with your teammates to press together. No point pressing by yourself, just wasting your energy. The best way to press an oponent is to block the passing lanes and press as a unit
First mistake is to think you can recover the ball. If you are in their half you have everything against you, they have a sea of space and tons of support. So don't commit to a tackle, your best bet is to jockey and support your teammates to gang up on the player with the ball. If you don't see a chance to gang up then keep jockeying and bide your time. Also don't think that stealing the ball is the only way to recover it. If you harass an opponent well enough you may force them to make a rushed pass, long pass or otherwise any lesser quality pass, and then your teammates are in a better position to intercept and recover the ball. So: jockey, harass, support your defending teammates and help them close down a player. Don't try to tackle on your own.
This is very good advice, coming from a Brit. Apart from the two foot tackle, it can break someones leg. We have a shortage of referees in the UK, many lower league games don't have referees and it's not helpful to promote the two footed tackle.
Don't be afraid to get some harsh contact. You're a defender. It's your job to stop the offense od the opposing team. Get in there. Feel free to crush someone in order to get possesion of the ball.
@@chefstojko9693 I don’t know anything about football but my the football coach wants me to play😭 I’m trying to play the easiest position so I thought cb would be the easy one
WOW my first soccer match ever tomorrow and i was kind of stressing so i was trying to find a video that would be helpfull for tackling and this really helped :) thankyou so much
5:25 This is an atrocious move, opening to all kinds of spine, ankle and even skull-injuries if you're really unlucky. By the time you've made the decision to hop in like a rabit in the way you just showed, your opponent may have just as easily half a second earlier decided to try to pass or even shoot the ball pretty hard. If they wind up hitting the ball then you in the wrong way, or worse, just you in the wrong way, nasty injuries are headed your way. Don't do this.
if you dont get supper close up to a striker who is looking to take a shot and he dribbles into a shooting position, go for the slide. You save so many balls and its super replicatable

Could you do a video on how to escape pressure/get away from pressin? Would really appreciate it my g
U can't if the opponent presses well. Just play a long ball that is the only way. If u have some decent midfielders in ur team they can help to pass around the press.
Clear the ball
Use ur keeper
@you're right no, if u want to make it u got to use ur keeper and trust ur players, a long ball is 50,50
if u mean team pressing, spread out, play wide. if u mean individual pressure, just keep your body between them and the ball and dont panic. if you can dribble into space, pass or make a quick 1-2, do it. just dont panic.
1 way to win every 50/50 is to not be scared of getting hurt and just getting stuck in.
BigKeno my problem is that I don’t see well so I kick the wrong place a lot of the time
Very true. I never use to be scared of anything in soccer till I sprained both my ankles multiple times (surgery on one of them) and a sprained ACL. I feel like a wimp now when I use to be the fearless person ever, even going up against big guys in co ed
But the problem is that I'm scared of injuring my opponent. I'm physically strong and that's my problem.
play pes...if you don't want to get hurt ....
I used to win lots of 50/50 balls because I wasn’t scared but I hurt my knee and now I’m kind of a wimp but sometimes the fear just disappears and I don’t know why but I don’t think I’m the same it sucks

It's easier said than done in a video like this. In order to be a good defender, a player needs to understand the game of football.

Promoting studs up and two footed tackles aha

3. Adjust your position of foot/leg/body to anticipate deflections in your favour.
and with 50s id say to go in with the outside of your foot along with your shoulder so your front isnt exposed

Stay on your toes, jockey, stay goal-side and at minimum an arms length from the player. These are all tips I've used with some success
First mistake is to think you can recover the ball. If you are in their half you have everything against you, they have a sea of space and tons of support. So don't commit to a tackle, your best bet is to jockey and support your teammates to gang up on the player with the ball. If you don't see a chance to gang up then keep jockeying and bide your time.
Also don't think that stealing the ball is the only way to recover it. If you harass an opponent well enough you may force them to make a rushed pass, long pass or otherwise any lesser quality pass, and then your teammates are in a better position to intercept and recover the ball.

Yo guys I need help. Im gonna leave this copy and pasted on every football video I watch to increase my chances of people seeing this and helping me:
I am joining my first football club age 15, I have never played for a club before, however I play football occasionally at school and I watch football matches all the time. I have no idea what position I should play so I will put a description of my build, strengths and weaknesses below and hopefully someone who is more experienced will be able to help me:
Build:
I'm 5'11 which is quite tall for my age
I've got decent stamina, I can run 5k in 21mins 46secs (pb)
I'm relatively strong but not as strong as I look
I'm 70kg
I'm pretty average when it comes to speed and pace
Strengths:
I'm quite good at shooting
I'm brilliant at making crosses
I can juggle very well, 311 is my record
Relatively good first touch, not brilliant though
Good work ethic and mindset, I wake up at 6:00 every day and train, I am always willing to make sacrifices and improve myself as a player
I can pass well when I have space
Weaknesses:
I am not good at passing etc in tight spaces and intense situations
I can do a few skills but nothing crazy, in 1 v 1s I can buy myself enough time and space to make a shot or cross
Not brilliant acceleration and agility but I can reach the same top speeds as most other players
First touch finishing i find quite difficult
I'm not great at dribbling like someone like iniesta or hazard or who ever, I cannot weave in and out of players like they can
I have pretty low confidence but I suspect this is due to lack of experience
I overthink a fair bit, again probably due to lack of experience
If someone can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated and I can also discuss more in the comments
I would probably say CM or CDM, that height and first Touch could get you to big leauges
