Coaches, and players! How much do you focus on proper technique on receiving a pass? When I am coaching young players I do my best to give them a good habit of controlling the ball with their backfoot.

This is crucial if you want to be efficient on the pitch where you have limited time and space!

"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that". - Bill Shankly

    the basic stuff is the most underrated stuff fr
  • I play high level football in Spain youth league, my experienced with backfoot was not as good as I thought. Backfoot controls is good when opponent doesn't apply much pressure on you, but most of the team applies heavy press on to opponent, making backfoot controls really risky. This is because if they are on me, they can directly reach for my backfoot, so I always control with my front foot than back foot control under pressure. But BACKFOOT is a option when your opponent doesn't apply much pressure.
  • Great video. Thank you for sharing. I coach boys U7 and U10 and will certainly share with the teams.

    great work for explaining back foot how it work for game . thank you dear sir ..
  • One issue - you didn’t scan once. Body position and choice of back foot to receive on half turn or to shield is dictated in a real game by position of opposition. Weaker players will lose the ball more often controlling off front foot not because of the ball getting away necessarily but because they are turning into defenders blind- it’s not a percentage play outside of a one on one situation where you have scanned and know you can beat your man - good for strikers getting shots off or wingers in low jeopardy areas of the pitch not for midfield. Back foot gives you some insurance in tight spaces and done well opens up the pitch as you say in your video. Thanks for the video I often tell young players their elite trainer is the humble wall and a friend- endless high touch variations for free!
