Have you ever wondered how players like Kevin De Bruyne or Leo Messi always seem to have so much time? It’s not because they are faster runners. It’s because they see the future. They know where the ball is going before it even touches their feet. If you want to stop panicking under pressure, you need to master the art of "Scanning."

There is nothing worse than getting "broken" by a tricky winger. One wrong step, and they are gone—or worse, the ball goes through your legs. If you want to stay on the field, you have to be able to shut down opponents. Here is the secret to 1v1 defense: Stop trying to win the ball, and start trying to control the space.

Does this happen to you? You get a pass, you trap the ball right at your feet, and suddenly a defender is all over you. You panic, you struggle, and you lose it. The problem isn't your dribbling—it's your First Touch. Here is how to stop getting trapped and start dominating the midfield.

Speed isn't just about how fast you run; it's about when and where you run. Most young strikers make the mistake of running directly across a defender’s face, making them easy to track. To score more goals, you need to master the "Blindside Run": staying in the defender's shadow until the perfect moment to strike.
