In this video Shahbaz and Margje show you how to act as if you are passing to the right. Your opponent is expecting a pass and will therefore keep his/her distance and not make a tackle on the ball.
Technical instruction:
The ball is positioned in front of the player while dribbling. In this way you have several options: passing to the lefft or right, dribbling or avoiding a tackle.
Bend your knees while dribbling the ball, so you can see what is happening around you.
really pretend as if you are passing to the right. You do have to fool your opponent!
If your opponent desides to make the tackle anyhow, pass the bal to your teammae next to you. Therefor the balcontact must be good, so you can pass the ball any moment you want to.
If you are not attacked, run throught, you might be able to score!
