Soccer Tricks You Must Learn To Win The Game
Soccer has reached the highest popularity ever since the buzzing vuvuzela faded in last July 2010. From poster boys to veterans, world-class soccer players gathered on the African soil for the first time. They performance were inspiring many people, especially the youngsters to learn some soccer tricks.
Soccer is played with the objective to score a goal. The formation is originally 4-4-2. One goalkeeper, four defenders, four midfielders, and two strikers. The trick is four defenders must develop their skill to set an offside trap. In the past tense, Arsenal had four solid defenders to cause the opponent striker got offside. They were Tony Adams, Martin Keown, Nigel Winterburn, and Lee Dixon.
But recently there is a progress in soccer trick, when two defenders are running on right and left wings make some overlaps and switch with the midfielders to supply the ball for the forward (striker). Overlapping needs a high skill. And the player should be a fast sprinter. This way could deliver a goal from defender himself. Roberto Carlos, Ashley Cole, and Glenn Johnson are very good defender to perform this overlapping.
In soccer, goal could be delivered by a corner kick. Here is the trick, if you have a left handed player, put him ask executor at the left corner. In 1998 World Cup Final between the host France and Brazil, Emmanuel Petit took a perfect left corner, and Zinedine Zidane jumped at the ball and put it on the net. That was the first goal for France. The second came from the right corner-which also from Zidane-and the third goal was taken open-play by Emmanuel Petit in his solo-run. The score was 3-0 for France.
Free kick is another opportunity to create a goal. David Beckham, Luis Figo, Wesley Sneijder are perfect players for this. Make a goal in dead ball situations (corner, penalty, and free kicks) are easier than in open play. If your opponent control ball possession, your team still can deliver a goal from counter attack. This is frequently happened in matches between top team and underdog.
At the match when every effort failed to deliver a goal, every player should become an opportunist finding a niche to kick the ball to the net. For example is in the match between United Stated versus Algeria in 2010 World Cup, a late goal at the stoppage time from Landon Donovan that took the opportunity from Clint Dempsey who fell out to put the ball to the net.
Some coaches like to change his team formation from 4-4-2 to 3-5-2 or 4-3-2-1 or 3-4-3. Using three strikers is potentially to create more goals but it is also push the goal keeper and the defenders work very hard to keep the net clean sheet.
Soccer needs good cooperation. The good coach must orchestrate the most perfect players for their position. There are also some dirty tricks. Diving (pretending fall out) especially in a penalty box at some case could make the referee give you a penalty. But it is risky, because if you are a bad actor, the referee could give you yellow or even red card. Another dirty trick is to provoke the opponent player so that caused a yellow or red card.
