How to recieve the ball with thigh and chest.

[Jawwad16]

When i stop the ball with chest the ball does drop near me and the ball does not reduce its height.
Tell me how to receive the ball with chest.
And
When i try to stop the ball with thigh it bounces on my thigh and goes behind me.
Often the ball does not remain with me when i use my thigh always my opponent wins the ball.

what i usually do when i recieve the ball with the chest, is to make like a hole between muy shoulders, and do a little backwards to make the ball lose speed, it's your desicion if you do the hole or not, it is not that relevant, and the same with your thigh, just as the ball is coming down, move your thigh a little down too
