00:00These are my 10 favorite 1v1 skills. Let's go.
00:07The drag and stepover.
00:15When you're facing a defender on the wing, use the inside of your foot and start dragging the ball across your body.
00:24Then bring your foot around the ball, making it look like you're going to cut back.
00:31And finally, use your other foot to push the ball past the defender.
00:51The inside-outside stepover.
00:55When you're running down the wing and a defender is chasing you, step around the front of the ball and across your body, allowing the defender to catch up.
01:07But then, as the ball rolls forward, use that same foot to step around the ball the other direction.
01:17And use your other foot to push the ball down the line.
01:25The double-touch mag.
01:32When you're holding off a defender, use the inside of your foot and push the ball a little out to the side, enticing the defender to reach for it.
01:42When you're holding off a defender, use the inside of your foot and push the ball a little out to the side, enticing the defender to reach for it.
01:53Then, when they do, use the edge of your toe to flick the ball through their legs.
02:12The drag-back Cruyff.
02:15When you touch a ball slightly too far in front of you and a defender reaches for it, use the foot closest to the defender and pull it back.

02:33The drag-back Cruyff.
02:35When you touch a ball slightly too far in front of you and a defender reaches for it, use the foot closest to the defender and pull it back.
02:45Then, use the inside of your other foot to push the ball behind your first leg and away from the defender.
03:05Use the outside of your foot to, briefly, stop the ball.
03:13Then, immediately use the inside of that same foot to push the ball down the line.
03:32The stop and make.
03:36When you're moving to receive a pass, but you know a defender is coming up behind you fast,
03:44use the inside of your foot and receive the ball on the half-turn, luring the defender to come even closer.
03:53Then, when the defender moves to make the tackle, use the outside of your foot to flick the ball through their legs.
04:05The scoop turn.
04:08When you're dribbling a defender on the wing, open up your body and start pushing the ball as if you were going to pass it.
04:17But instead, drag the ball in a curved motion and push the ball down the wing.

04:49The push and go.
04:53When the ball is out in front of you and you feel that the defender will get to it before you have it under your control,
04:59one thing you can do is reach out and poke the ball past them.
05:04Then run around the other way so that you don't run into them.
05:26The half-volley make.
05:30When a ball is dropping from the air and you see a defender moving to close you down,
05:37act like you're going to control the ball with the top of your foot.
05:41But instead, use the outside of your foot and touch the ball just after it hits the ground,
05:47touching the ball through the defender's legs as they move for the ball.
06:00The lift.
06:09When you want to cut past the defender, but you're afraid the defender might be able to reach out and get the ball,
06:19stick your toe underneath the ball and lift it past the defender.
