From the Iniesta ‘croquette’ to Lionel Messi’s trademark shimmy and fake, the world's greatest footballers use their fancy footwork to beat opponents, make space, and look like they’ve got endless time on the ball.
There is no shortcut to getting this good - it’s simply down to hours and hours of drilling those nifty little pieces of control to perfection. David Copeland-Smith, founder of Beast Mode Soccer, and England midfielder Rachel Daly, are here to help you improve radically.
Simply by repeating pull back scoops, rolls, L-turns and fakes – very precisely, and at a speed that makes you feel a little uncomfortable and prone to mistakes, you'll soon be evading defender’s lunges better than ever.
