Mimi is a real one she's always holding it down for you and helping you out in whatever way she can. how many pro's girlfriends do you see out there helping them out with their training sessions? that's a real one Matt so congratulations. also keep pushing out this content.
Because the other have money for a own trainer
Damn y’all are quick to be negative, chill
@Framework333 exactly why shes a real one cuz she wants to help,and they have a relationship behind the cam, you dont know what is going on then moron
Jalen Guadalupe hell yeah boi you can see the feel the hate behind the keyboard
Mimi in chinese means tits. I love Matt as a person, not trying to be disrecpectful, just for the knowledge, and thought its funny too.
This guy has his girl motivating and helping him get better. I can’t even get my friends to motivate me or help me get better
Augustine G are they really your friends?
Most of the one they keep it real. Out of all of them except for one that’s playing in England I am the only one really passionate about play this. When I go “train” I usually end up training them like a pro but they can’t return it, they just half ass it. No motivation
@@augustineg1497 I'm the same
@@augustineg1497 u dont need them for motivation, football shouød be enough m8
She cares about him. Women like to invest in their men, because they can also benefit. Your friends care more about themselves than they care about you, so the only way for it to work is if you all are helping each other develop.
I'm impressed with how well you skirt the line between confidence and over-confidence. You have a solid grasp on the reality of the professional game. Thanks for your insight and candor.
Yes, he keeps it genuine which is why this is great content.
Yes, and I am that kind of person. I never overrate or underrate myself. I think that I am talented enough to be in first Serbian league, maybe even in best clubs in country, but I need to train hard for that.
I would make a very long speech, but I try being short. I follow Serie A because I'm italian. In Serie A there are 540 players. One is the better (CR7), there are 15 top players (Higuain,Icardi,Dybala,Dzeko,De Rossi,Mertens ...), 250 players are for Serie A (who can play in every club). Then, the rest of players are normal, and they could play in second/third division, but them are in Serie A for two reasons :
1) mentality (sacrifices, personality, hard workout)
2) good procurator ( agent, knowledge of people, transfermarket, affairs ... )
This is the reality
Just do what is good for you brother
@andre10tube capito
Thanks, in the end the life rewards you for what you have worked
I have italian heritage and my dream is to play in the serie a/la liga one time.
But my greatest dream is to just be a football player by job, thats my most important dream.
How old are you?Where are you from? In my country football is living a difficult moment, if you watch matches you will notice that there are few fans at stadium. But it's not a way to discourage you
One of the reason you are my favourite RUclips content creator is because you are only interested in showing your life and you aren’t being something you’re not. And it’s amazing. No clickbait, no silly thumbnails. FAVOURITE CONTENT CREATOR. I don’t believe the label “RUclipsr” is worthy of you.
In the professional football world, regardless of what level your playing at whether it be top tier or lower this isn’t a massive gap in technical abilities and skill. Although, what separates these players is they’re decision making, picking out key moments and knowing how to execute these moments.
26 is a chance
Bruv you look more like Gylfi Sigurdsson than Harry Kane :3
Nah a bit like James Milner
@@samuelkamigwi9531 nothing like either
Actually he kind of looks like Bernardeschi from Juventus lol
I think he looks more like Gareth Bale in his Tottenham days
Swear down fam...
Can you pls do a training session with Micheal from 7mlc
Please!!! ❤
I think it's super important for all players to self analyze themselves to see where they are in the game and what it takes to reach that next level. Very insightful hearing your own personal self analysis and hopefully it helps a lot of the younger players out there.
Stefan Mueller its great to see you here since I found you because of one of your previous comments.
Hope you will get more subs from here 💪
Unpopular opinion: You and Spencer Moeller are the best soccer youtubers
I have nothing against you using the word "soccer", I know that its the word Americans are accustomed to but if you used "football" In place of it, It would feel a little better.
Adwitiya Prakhar you know I was going to say football but I decided not to because both Matt and Spencer are Americans as well as me so I just did soccer
Adwitiya Prakhar you do realize other countries use the term soccer right?
Why is this unpopular? I love both. I also like Sheldon Tweedie as well
Aden Brody because not many people know about Spencer.
Hey Matt, if you think that you are technically not at the EPL level consistently, how do you think Jamie Vardy can burst on the scene at his age and be such a quality player. Do you think a lot of it is speed/athleticism, or perhaps he had very good youth training to develop the technique to be an EPL player that he was able to call upon at a later age. I would like to hear your thoughts on that. I enjoy your videos, thanks!
Benjamin Fitzer very good question
Great question
the vardy rise is a bit diluted, he was already at a decent academy ( sheffield wendsday) but when he was dropped at 18. to answer your question vardy had already had a fairly decent youth training
Ryan Dropped at 16 mate
I think Vardy is an anomaly and not a good example of how to break into the scene.
The training you do or the amount of training you do is inspirational ... You look so determined! Fair play
Boils down to:
1. Genetics
2. Hard work
3. Mental toughness
3. A bit of luck
@Perfect Soccer used to but I realized I wasn't good enough so I quit.
@Perfect Soccer oh yes, I still play competitively 2x a week in our local league
Unlike in American football or basketball, genetics does not play a huge role in football. I think it's because the 'culture' is different. In England, we play football literally everywhere and whenever we can. In the states, I think they play basketball and American football whenever they can at a young age. I'm not sure how to explain it but if you watch InTheLab's video on culture, I think you might be able to get a grasp on this issue. Not trying to be cocky here or anything, I haven't touch a ball for nearly 8 years now. If I had like two straight weeks of training, I'll probably be better than him
I totally agree with these 4 factors.
Creativity
Agressiveness
Study of the game
Professional footballers are on another level... seems like no one in the comments understand this. Having played against a pro (playing in the National League in England) you can see the gulf in quality between an amateur and a pro.
Yea that's facts peolle don't realize how good u actually have to be its a level most people don't even see
This is exactly my plan for soccer because I am 14 and have started doing more workouts to help me become stronger, faster, and more athletic overall, I would also like to thank you Matt for the inspiration over all I have been watching you since July and you have inspired me to train everyday since then and that hard work you helped me do has led to me getting scouted by a high school division 1 private school team so big thanks to you Matt 🙌🏼💯
I think the biggest difference between yourself and a Top level pro is pretty straight forward. You sadly didn't have the proper technical training at a young age. Most players or at least a decent amount of players playing at a higher level are special technically. You've become very good technically through working your ass off, but theres always going to be that gap. You have the mindset of the highest level soccer player, but just didn't get the training you deserved at a young age. i doubt Sergio bustquets is as athletic as you. so its tough. I love your channel dude! Not trying to be demeaning at all. just my take.
Yoko no hate on Sergio
sorry but in my opinion he has not the talent for the top level and thats ok, thats life. how many kids dream about the future as a pro player?!. iam from germany, soccer is the sports number one here and all guys who play as kids in professional clubs (u16,u18 or u21) dream about to play in the bundesliga or a league below but the quotient who really arrives as a fulltime soccer player and can life with that or pay the bills only with soccer is under 3%. yes with the right mindset, and hard work you can achieve many things but in the topgroup you must bring all stuff on a decent level. on the other hand, he can do every day what he loves for work and thats great but with 26 years he must realise that the windows are nearly closed for the big jump. a interesting question would be why is matt not earlier travelled to europe with maybe 22-24 years and tried for clubs in the second and third leagues from europe.
@@hanswuat1245 I think part of his weakness is a lack of creativity and aggression. When you look at the top players, especially strikers, they play with no fear, they are not afraid to take creative chances. Matt is in great shape, maybe is lacking in technical skill compared to Europe, but he could compensate for that by being more aggressive. It goes in any sport. Sometimes players start later in life but have an intristic talent that they can still become pro. Maybe it's harder in soccer than in other pro sports. There certainly are late bloomers in basketball and american football.
@@hanswuat1245 Yeah, playing at USL and other NA teams is holding him back. USA football focuses on physicals but the tactics are atrocious. Players who are not physical or technical can easily play at a decent level with the correct tactics, and at the same time with proper tactical education they can continue to develop technical skills and move up in levels. Sadly, it's the footballing environment that is holding him back...
his speed and physique pretty similar to kolarov without the shooting, technical and stamina to really consistently overlap. old style fullbacks who sat back is what holding him back and imo if he focused on getting speed/explosiveness/stamina with better crossing/technical, any mls team would sign him.
What I love about this channel is that it provides insight about being a pro footballer behind all the glamour that you see on the TV and the internet
P.S that's a really cute dog
9:00 is where u want to REALKY BE IF HOUR IN A RUSH
King 🙌🏾
In Europe we live and breath football. From nursery through school all the boys were just waiting through all our lessons to go and play football. In the US there are more sports competing for kids attention.
That and kids in Europe play pro at like 16-17 sometimes, they just skip the university phase in the US.
P.S watching you dribble is incredibly satisfying 😂
Dayum
The things that separates us from Serie A , bundesliga, laliga, premier league is their work efforts , their intensity of drills and their developed basics
It's cool how you self-evaluated yourself. It takes a lot for many people to do that. I personally believe that you can play in the MLS or even a European league like the EPL or even Bundesliga because you work very hard. With hard work and dedication, one can do marvels
Sadly it isnt all about hard work. It's about that technical, tactical skill that most top 5 league players have that makes them better than the rest. You just pick it up. I'm playing at a relatively high level in Ireland for u15 level. I can tell you. The difference from playing in small regional leagues to now playing in our national league is huge and I've improved. But even then ik that the quality in spain, england, France is better so they would be learning even more than me. Just because you are the best at hard working in America doesn't mean you would be the best in , say, germany because of the technical skills he hasn't picked up from higher quality facilities and leagues. Just imo. Life is cruel but always dream big
@@danielcowan87 you're just chatting. Fact is pros in Europe make mistakes just like amateurs worldwide do. The only major difference is pros in Europe are much better with their decision making so don't make it seem as if European pros are miles ahead of everyone technically because in reality they are not.
One thing that may help getting a bit more confident in your decision making skills is to pick two or three professionals in your position and obsessively watch their game highlights. Am not talking about those three minute soccer mixtapes, but their actual highlights against teams. Just by doing that you could see what works in certain situations, what doesn't, when to attack, when to play it safe, etc....
9:29 naaah bro she's a keeper. Bruh she's helping you train.
Respect for working hard and going after your dream, even if you only make it as a lower level pro. One thing I would recommend for developing your close quarter skills and decision making is futsal. You get more of the ball, and since the pitch is small you are always being pressured, so you need to develop really good close control and fast decision making.
You seem to have similar problems to many US soccer players. In general they are usually great athletes, are fit, and can work hard and run fast in straight lines up and down the pitch, according to certain drilled tactics, but many of them somehow seem a bit awkward in terms of their close control, ball skills, dribbling and decision making. They just don't seem to move like someone who is a natural with the ball at their feet.
In countries like Spain, Portugal and Brazil, who develop naturally skilled creative players who have great dribbling and decision making skills many of the players play Futsal. Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Neymar, etc all used to play a lot of futsal. So I'd highly recommend it if you want to improve your decision making and skill on the ball.
What separates u from a premier league player is literally everything
Jackito Burrito true
Pretty good self-eval Matt! One thing I might point out is composure, its often overlooked but you watch these top players and there so relaxed whilst being pressured, leads to a good touch, pass etc. Being able to instil this level of composure is one of the more difficult things to do in football.
“To be the best player that I can possibly be”. The modest way of limiting yourself, when realistically the sky is the limit when you really analyse the thought. Great stuff man. I’ve never played pro, have played semish pro, but have had 3 knee surgeries, twice acl... I’m now 31 and so keen to return after 3 years off. It will be super hard to play competitive again, but I’m determined and your videos are very inspirational. I hope you never lose your form, determination and goals. Live a life of no regrets. Unfortunately Football is not a profession you can chase for the rest of your life. Enjoy every moment. Much love
I love that you show your weaknesses and mess ups. We’ve been watching you for at least 2 years. My son sees your progress and realizes with a solid work ethic he too can advance and improve. Thanks for making great videos.
Matt - I'm no expert, but I think that you are doing adequate technical training. That is not the problem. Even if you out trained the best players in the world, if you were faster, had better dribbling, etc.... you are missing some key things - the intangibles. I think you should spend many hours watching footage of the greats and then trying to mimick their moves in your training. Rather than just doing technical stuff and diet, recovery etc. You're great at that. What you need is vision, creativity, aggression, in your playing. Watch the greats and measure that stuff. The time that you allocate to making youtube videos you should reallocate that to studying the best players in the world at your position.
Tbh yeah he just covered his match and reviewed it
Many times he had the opportunity to ping the ball for a great assist,or at least a try but well he just passed back
@@alisafeerhyder1994 Yeah, maybe this is a confidence thing. So many players have the opportunity to attack but they just become a bit timid. But maybe I'm wrong, I'm not an expert. But I play a lot and I see this often. This can cause the better team to lose, because they have great dribblers and they hold onto the ball too long and don't get off enough shots. You can't score if you don't shoot and attack.
You need a balance. Defense, midfield, strikers.
You can 100% be in the mls you have everything to be a star
Matt, when u shift onto your right foot to shoot, make that turn faster. I'm talking about around 13:00 . There needs to be that sting from your shot, otherwise the defender will just pounce onto you. Big fan of the juggling skills btw.....
This is very true.
It's hard for him too focus/concentrate on the ball while also a lack in understanding of tactics .. is what separates him from a premier league player!
Tactics shamctics, all you need is world class players who have do 1-2 passes
@@burrito1413 you clearly dont know much about football
Daniel Cowan joe mama
Wow, what a great video Matt! Loved it, good luck, you motivate me so much, I'm 17 yo and I'm looking forward to play and study at Cardiff Met University, my dream is to sign pro, with hard work and faith, everything is possible!
Good luck m8
@@notoriusbig1572 thanks dude 😉
Try to get into the cardiff city academy bro, it's your best bet.
Love your work ethic, all the way from Jamaica
Thanks for the vid, and your wise words, i just hit 29 years and i just finished some individual shooting training, im always trying to improve myself, try the be the best you can be 👍
You are a real inspiration man for me
Hope you good enough to get a contract . The time is now
19 and Stressed that Im not good enough and then seeing 26 year old Speaking of his weakness and instead of staying stressed goes out and works on them ! Thats motivation right there 💯
You do alot training on RUclips video but when it comes to the game I dont see nothing of that. That's the big difference between skilled player and regular player.
The skilled player show always more in the field. On the game.
Watching you do your training and analysis of your abilities, immediately made me think, if not a player then definitely worth trying to become a coach. Respect from England!
Thanks man, this was really an eye opener to me !! Cause sometimes I think that I’ve mastered a certain thing but in reality I haven’t !! “Don’t train until you get it right, train until you can’t get it wrong”
your daily routine is awesome...
seems like my dream routine
i am very impressed with your self analysis and your work ethic. I agree with everything you said. especially the thinking process of the other players. those guys are always thinking 2-3 plays ahead of you. I played against a freaking smoker who was a former professional player that smoked a cigarette every 15mins and he did circles around me.
You are a true inspiration for me to become a pro player. All adivce and tips you give , I take into consideration. Keep doing big things Matt 🙌🏼
Extremely honest and fair evaluation. Too many players at all levels are arrogant and don't want to believe that they have weaknesses that need to be improved. Trust your skill and your ability, rely on your work ethic.
1:16 if that burst oh boy ur gonna get the sting of ur life 😂😂
Just that fact that you are able to evaluate yourself in this way, with this level of honesty goes to show why you are where you are and why I'm here watching this video instead or why some guys never make it to even a semi pro level.The only thing that I see that failed you is the level and quality of training. EPL players at 15-18 years of age are already spoiled with world class trainers and fitness coaches teaching them and molding them into an EPL player, where as here in the US we train players to compete at an MLS level of play or college level and I think we can all agree that is years behind the rest of the world. We're getting there but the rate of which we are moving towards a better youth system is way too slow!
Easy to see after fast forwarding to the shooting section of the video. You are way too slow with moving the ball to the side and then shooting. In a higher level u need to do this much much faster. Need to shoot harder while bending it also.
11:02
Look at the red marks the ball leaves on his chest
Short answer for the video: Talent
don't compare yourself to anyone else, become the best version of you focus on that process and not the outcome and your outcome will follow.
everything is possible in life if you choose to believe it, ( what you can see in your mind you can hold in your hand),
remember those who say they can and those that say they cant are both usually right.
i'm routing for you :).
The best way to improve technique and decision making is playing indoor as much as possible. This will make you completely comfortable working within tight spaces where your first touch has to be perfect and you have to know what to do before you get the ball. This will make full field play seem fun, because of the amount of space.
19:49 THATS MY HOME TOWN AND TEAM💯
Hey I love the radical transparency. Humble and realistic. This makes you a better player compared to yourself - nice job
For me, I struggled the same with you as not having a good youth program and just watching kids play now they go a long way. I still feel, however, that I am a above average player, but when it comes to seeing everything I have done on paper (i.e. resume), I look like I am unqualified for most teams simply because I haven't had the best past regarding that. Is there any way to appeal to coaches when they ask for my achievements on paper or to prove to them that I am worth more than what I seem to be on paper?? Love your videos, I aspire to be you
it's the same with me i think I'm above average, but at the age of 18 i had a big injury and now I'm 19 with no professional soccer experience or any big success and I dont know if any team would be interested on me. I've been thinking on maybe trying with an agent but idk if that would work either. Where can I find an agent that i know it's legit?
Look on Instagram, some Irish league of Ireland players are run by agents
adriansoccer23 im going through that too. But what i did wad attend combines and showcases to better myself and make connections
@@gabriel.casanas buddy atleast you are not alone ; I am also in same situation but as you ; 19yrs no pro experience still have a hope and self belief
Best way I can think of is making highlight videos of yourself in matches and sending them to everyone. Clubs and schools
You are right about the differences. You can make it in MLS (with a bit more aggression, perhaps) but to survive in the higher leagues of Europe you need to understand tactics and the big picture better. At present you have a great chance to make it if you go overseas as you already have the physicals down, so it's just about tempo and understanding the game better. Your league and team are holding you back.
I think the US youth soccer infrastructure is also a big factor. Just being in the US your development as a footballer is really in no way up to par with the one youth players get in the UK and western Europe.
A big part of it is the culture too. Most people in the US don’t really understand football aka soccer. Like for example when to get excited whats going on, who guys like Roberto Carlos and Ruud Gullit are and why they were great players. So most people don’t really know whats going on so its not really that suspenseful or exciting compared to our Football or even baseball or basketball. Most of our serious athletes end up playing other sports and are our role models when were growing. Soccers a great game though. Its way better than 🏈.
Marcel Diallo basically people don’t care that much
You're so humble. Really refreshing. Wish you the best!
I'm really inspired by the humble honesty of this channel. I get much good information and tips for my own soccer training even though I'm not aiming to be a pro👍🏻 Also I laughed when I realised I'd counted all the first soccer drill's reps like I would've been the one performing there😂
Great video . Would like more gym , agility and individual content . Thanks
This a really great video Matt. Suggesting about at what age what type of training to focus on is really good for these young up and coming players. Fantastic job man!
Bro no offense, but I do believe that what prevents you to be a top league player is that you are living in the U.S, where the majority of people don’t care about soccer. Even for the players do care, they way people play in here is different from players in the top league. More aggressive running but less tactical. I think that because of the American people are more likely to watch the sport like football style.When it comes to soccer, players regardless of age have the similar impact from the big environment. It is said to say that man, I do truly admire the passion you have for the soccer, which inspire me and people like me all over the world. But in reality, soccer in America is the secondary sport industry. I used to live in a small town in Oregon, when the school team has football game, there were so many people drive to the stadium, family members, community members all gather together to support the football team.However, when we have the soccer game, I am sorry, the field is almost empty. But if you move the town to England, the situation gonna be completely opposite.
In the end, what I can say is that if you ever have the chance to go Europe in the future, just grab it and go over there. Don’t stay in America, even the top level league in here is far slow and less competitive than the league in Europe. Maybe you can also start to plan for getting a coach license as well.Hopefully everything goes well for you, all the best to your future career.
Thats what he been trying to do? Do you watch his videos? He is trying his best to play overseas
MATA FAKA I know it’s just my opinion for him in the long run.
MATA FAKA I never said that he didn’t try his best. For example he played at New Zealand But there are thousands players are also trying harder out there. When you age turn to 29,30, it’s gonna be downhill in the professional soccer. Therefore maybe to be a coach is good for him if he wants to continue the journey in soccer.
@@user-jw1cx2lr6d yea but dream big right
I think you’re stupid, I live in the United States the mls has signed a lot of academy players who are 16-18 they are all better than this guy, he’s not pro bc he’s just not good enough, he’s a hard worker but he’s not a natural player, he doesn’t have the technique of one, stop making excuses for him.
Posted less than a minute ago and ppl are like great vid Matt😂 but Matt you’re the 🐐
This is amazing value. Is this in the off-season? Starting from this series- there is no other channels out there that matches this content 👌
I personally don’t like comparing myself to other people
Love the honestly and clarity in these vids
Why don’t you tryout for the 3rd or 4th division in England
Tough competition
3rd division in England won't be that tough for him
Trijoy Sinha
But it would help him get noticed in England
S17 maybe 5th division and move up from there. But third and fourth division takes a lot of work
@@tuhinkantisinha5013 false. league one is a very good league and so is league two. i don't think he could make it on any teams in those leagues.
The sound of the sped up juggling always just makes me laugh haha
You should try play in the League of Ireland, season is currently over.
They are so bad its unbelivable
@@somaliking4207 bad out 😂. I play LOI u15's with st.pats. but srsly all our good players are the ones who go to the bpl as english scouts always scout over here
I am 26 and play amateur club soccer In South Africa, I really like your channel, thanks for the great down to earth content.
I see where your coming from me as a senior in high school at 18 soon I see as my time is running out to find a a college team. But just never forget that you have inspired and encouraged thousands of players to either Follow this career or do something else. No top team player does anything like that. After there career is over there is not much else they accomplished. 🤟
Terrific assessment. It takes alot of maturity to be honest with yourself. If you make it to the mls or similar league it will be because of the hard work and determination you show in these videos. We are rooting for you.
That consistency matters hence you have to be special
Big ups man🙌🏽 I’m 25 and if I’m being honest with myself there’s almost no chance of me going pro not say trying won’t be an option. I’d love to train with you and gain some knowledge from you because clearly you’ve walked the walk and your experience is credible too
Mate don’t give up......I think you got more in you to play at that level.....keep pushing
It's nice to see the passion that you work with 🙏🏼Thanks for sharing and God bless you
There are excellent comments on here. I was on football parks for 37 years. I had complete mastery of a ball on both feet from when I was 10. I am 6"4 and could pass ,dribble by 5 /6 men and had a very powerful shot and was a very good shielder of the ball and good tackler. I done none of these drills and yours is an American outlook. Far too technical & robotic. Watch English & Scottish football from the 70s. They are magnificent players who played on terrible parks and with a poor ball. They hardly trained. You must be free in your mind to play your best at any sport. Football is a beautiful flowing game but modern coaches are destroying it with chess tactics. It is great to watch you training and your ability , but you need to relax a bit and go find a football team and play Free!!
Loved the video man, I try to follow your workouts and routine. It’s challenging but it makes me a better player. I’m 16 years old, and I have seen a lot of improvement in myself after following your training. Keep making videos please👍
you should work on your change of pace ....the speed that you prepare for your shots at are pretty easy to defend against
I love your videos because I am 13 years old and my overall dream is to play for the MLS and every video that you make pushes me to be the best player I can be at the moment. I have taken a lot of your training drills and technique and put it in my game and now I am one of the best to division club players in Maine. Thank you.
Physical ability is more like a requirement than something that separates you from others. For example, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Gerard Pique - these are all players who get by physically, but are not outstanding. I could give a hundred more examples of top class players who are just good enough physically but not excellent. What makes a player special are the small details: what direction they take their first touch; whether or not they play one touch or two touch; whether they make a diagonal run or a forward run; whether or not they run for the near post or far post. You can be Usain Bolt, but if you don't know when to pass, where to pass, how to pass, where to run, when to run, how to run, it won't work out for you. People talk about Ronaldo's crazy six pack and muscles, but they don't realize how perfectly he times his runs.
Mexican football is fun i think you would play well in this league Matt
Is it possible to buy any Become Elite clothing?

I work for the New England Revolution (on field) and it would be so dope if you made your way into the MLS and i could watch you ball in real life. Been subbed for a while it would be great to see you come full circle!
Good one mate always and inspiration when watching u videos
bro come to isl (INDIAN SUPER LEAGUE), its a new league compared to others but u can gain experience and a lot of fan support and they will for sure pay you well.
If you ever come to isl join KERALA BLASTERS.
Trust me it's not all about physique and strength. Theres more to it than that
Your the best shelly . You won against mimi
Don't sell yourself short man, if put the work, even if they don't give u the chance you are and can be as good or even better more consistent, than a player who was more fortunate and got to play earlier, and at a higher level, and is not putting as much work in. Even if they are you can still catch up. You're their man, you're a great player, just keep grinding.
Have you ever though of playing center back? Your tall, fast, strong, good tackler, and you understand how to distribute out of the back.
Hey Matt, was this video sponsored by Target?
Great video! If you stay in California, I have a five year old that you can train. 100% agree about those early developmental years being a key difference. Keep pushing but if you do ever get into coaching, I’d like to be in the line lol.
From what I have seen the MLS is roughly at the level of the Portuguese Second Division. Europe doesn't give much attention to the MLS even though it has grown significantly in the past decade. At 26 your odds of making it are quite low since as other commentators said it is not only about the physical and mental side of the game. You need a good agent, a couple of good seasons where you stand out a lot and a bit of luck. It is cool to watch your channel. I wish I was as focused as you are when I was playing youth football and indoor soccer in Portugal.
Good luck bro for MSL
I've seen your 2020 best moments video. You're a really good player; I don't see any difference from you and top players in top teams. Just continue training!
I can tell your problem already. you're doing that practice drill of dribbling down the right side of the field with your right foot, cutting in to shoot with your right foot. Already that's a big problem, trying dribbling down the right side of the field with your left, to shield the ball from enemy players on your right, then cut inside to shoot on your left. People don't get this, But Iniesta spoke about this, There was an amazing premier league player called Matt Le tissier, he was chunky, he wasn't fast, but his control was perfect, and iniesta said that you can be as slow and walk through people as long as the ball stays at your feet, edit: what I mean by dribbling with your left foot, is using the outside of your left foot to control the ball, I barely saw any of that, you need to shield it from midfielders on your right with your body.
Whether you make it or not, it's great to see such dedication and hard work, no matter the level.
DOOD! I was at that Xolos game too! I was sitting right behind the goal during the terrible PK. Too bad I didn't run into you. Would've been dope to meet you.
Your videos are so much to learn from thanks matt
That’s not sunscreen it’s a secret spray that lets you play like Ronaldo
Thanks for your candid and honest views. It's always good to be practical and look at things from all angles.
It's good to understand your drawbcks/negative side but at the same time focus on the better side of things (what/how you can improve, where/what can you reach/achieve, etc). Keep it going bro. As someone said below, luck can hit you at any point of time, and moreover Gods grace (So trust in Him) ...... :)
As a French guy it makes me realize how good mbappe is he already scored about 100 goals in carreer at 21 impressive
Though Mbappe plays in a league where goals are easy to come by...
@@netking767 false look into the goals per game in the league compared to other leagues. It's a very defensive and physical style of play in ligue 1, ask Neymar's feet.
I am not taking about skills of course but bundesliga and la Liga are much more offensive. Ben yedder scores more in liga than in France the same goes for Alassane Plea in Bundesliga
Matt, Would you ever consider also chopping your videos into chunks and posting them as a few separate videos. I want to share the main part of this sessions to some teenagers, but they wont watch it all as it is........or not all of it applies to the message i am trying to support so i don't want to share it all. Either way, great video. It offers great insight and is presented really well (as always).
