Tips for Defenders, Mids, Forwards

[Adi]

make diagonal runs

forwards who can't keep their runs on an angle =  :bang:

Good point. Also, make some runs towards your midfielders and show for the ball facing your midfield. Shield off the defender and play a quick ball back or look to turn quickly and shoot. It's best when you have one forward making diagonal runs and another who comes to the ball. When both run long, it's really annoying for the midfield.

on Adi's point he's more or less saying that if u know ur striking partner is faster than you than u can drop in behind to play a 1-1up front instead of a flat 2.

either way u can drop to be the man connecting the mid and the forwards.

if yuo wanna be an all out goalscorer, here's a tip from malcolm macdonald.

get it, turn, shoot.

be the most selfish bastard you can possibly be.  and in the end, u'll either be a hero for scoring, or a villain for missed opportunities.

but as MJ said, u miss 100% of the shots u don't take.

for central players, OWN the pitch.  make sure everyone knows that ur there.  bump into players, get physical (but don't foul lol).  get the ball, control possession, learn to spread it around.  futsal is good practice for this for movement, passing, and ball control.

also don't just play through balls...I hat center mids who do that

play the ball wide to the wingers and then support them

get physical (but don't foul lol)

there's a time and place for that too

oh yea the professional fouls.... i understand why that's useful but i never really liked it personally.  i just think it's like cheating.
