Top 5 Best Football Skills to Learn in 2021

There’s probably no better time than now to perfect your football skills and technique.

I’m writing this article during the lockdown brought about by Covid-19. The world had shut down for almost 4 months. Although things are starting to reopen here in the UK, it still seems like contact sport is someway off.

I hear the sighs! And I feel your pain. But, remember there’s always an opportunity in adversity. You just have to look hard enough and you’ll find it.

So, when I thought about writing this article, it struck me. Just because you can’t play competitive football, doesn’t mean you can’t compete with yourself to polish up on those football skills.

I’ve been coaching for the best part of 12 years. I’ve come across a lot of talented footballers from a broad range of age groups. But the players I really remember are the ones whose ball control, technique and skills were second to none.

They could make playing the game seem so simple and effortless. But behind the scenes, I knew just how much effort they were putting into refining and developing their technique.

So what does that mean for you? Well, it means use this time wisely. If you’re serious about football, get in a park and start practicing these top 10 best football skills I’m about to reveal to you. Equally, if you just like playing the game recreationally with your mates, then still get out onto a pitch to practice these skills. You’ll thank me after when you use them to trick your friends.

5 Best Football Skills 2021

1. The James Rodriguez:

So-called in honors of the Columbian playmaker, this is an effective move designed to buy you some space as you head towards goal.

Here are the key steps:

Run towards goal and then fake to cut inside, making your opponent change direction;
Cut outside again, controlling the ball with the outside of your foot; and
Get your shot away.

2 the Cruyff turn :

Named after the famous Dutch footballer of the 1970s, Johann Cruyff, this maneuvers not only allows you to open space, but it can also make your opponent look foolish.
Here is you see a video

Receive the ball on your instep and shape as if you were passing to a teammate;
Transfer your weight to your standing foot;
Swivel your hips and change direction; and
Speed away from your opponent.

3 Maradona Turn :

The Maradona Turn is something every player practices and its beauty comes from the simplicity of it. With a swivel of the hips, the great Argentinian forward could dance around the ball, change direction and take multiple opponents out of the game. Done at full pace, its breathtaking to watch. Learn how to do the turn here.

4 The Rainbow flick:

Another tough one to perfect, but another trick which looks great when it comes off is the Rainbow Flick (also known as the Lambrate in Brazil).

The trick gets its name from the trajectory of the ball, which travels from back to front in an arc. Getting the ball positioning is key to this trick.

Place one foot in front of the ball with your body slightly angled towards your opponent;
Then with the back foot roll it up your calf, leaning even more towards your opponent; and.
Finally, jump and flick the ball over your head in the direction in which you are leaning.

5 The Chop :

This is a move which is best done at high speed because it will help send your opponent the wrong way. It’s all about shifting the ball from one side of of your body to the other side.

Run towards the defender;
As they draw near, jump up and land by chopping the ball under your standing leg
Break away into space with a quick change of pace

When this is done right, you and the ball will go one way, whilst your opponent is still going the other!
