You won't become a great player without understanding the basics of playing soccer. One of the fundamental basics of becoming a great footballer is to "NEVER LOSE THE BALL". That is when you are given pass, you must do everything possible to make sure opponent does not collect the ball from you till you can pass to your team member or score. Not losing the ball requires great skill and ability to move with it (dribble) or hold it (defend) till one of your player is ready to receive pass. The reason for this is that many of your opponent's player will be rushing at you from different angles to collect the ball from you. So your duty is to make this difficult for them while at the same time make plans with your team members to make sure the ball lands inside their net. Therefore, to become a great player you should know how to receive ball (passes) whether up or down (control) and then push or move it while trying to make sure opponent does not reach it (dribble and defend) and lastly strike or play shot in other to make the ball land inside opponent's goal post (score). Read on to understand the techniques to achieve all these skills.
