the thing you must know is that you must put your foot down and stamp your authority on the game for example if its a match if you go in hard the first 5-10 minutes the other players will be afraid of you.
you have to go in hard. you have to have the Go hard or Go home mentality. you didn't wake up and get your soccer gear on to be pushed around by another human their not robot your are equal. if you go in hard for the 50/50s your opponent will not go in for the 70/30s in their favor if your going in for it. and when you first get the ball you should control, tapping the ball in front of you by no more then 1 meter and have your head up to look for options, do the basics, some people specially Somalis try to do the Ronaldinho flick when they can't even passed a ball straight. also when dribbling a player never go back for him cause the second and third time he won't go for the ball and you will be sidelined
