You guys were pretty much spot on with your analysis of the first touch 👏… It’s one of the hardest skillset in football even though some of the clips looked easy
The casual fan might not appreciate the first touch at its true value. To picture in real life think of a as object coming at you with high speed and force. To stop the object, you might apply an equal force. To that add that the object is spheric which completely change the equation, and your speed, the perfect leg positioning in order to prevent the ball from going far away from you because the defender is coming at you while you are computing and applying all this data at the same time. If you want to feel for yourself, kick a ball against the wall and try to control while the ball rebound toward you. (that is a very simplify version of what the pro do)
The first touch is one of the most important skill in football with passing and a sign of if you're up there or not, great players have great first touches If you haven't already i suggest reacting to Rafael Leao and Victor Osimhen
If you want to appreciate how impressive some of these touches are go out onto a field with a football kick it up in the air as far as you can and see how hard it is to bring under control 😮
I will give you guys much credit. I've seen some of your first soccer reactions....you've both come a very long way. You now know the team and players by name, in this video towards the end you guys learned and understood what having a "soft touch" and how to use the first touch to set up the next, and the difficulty involved in this skill. well done.
Having a good first touch means “don’t let the ball bounce too far away from you after a hard pass”…having a Great first touch means “putting the ball in a position where you find yourself a step ahead the defender”…it requires great technique and talent in order to control the ball off your foot like the pros do
I think the easiest way for you to understand this is to try by yourself. The longer and higher the ball flies the more it will bounce. But first touch is not only control it to receive pass, but also ability to redirect it precisely to pass, assist or even score.
What's good family ! First touch separates every level of elite aka THE most important touch. There's the aspect of control, taking the speed from the ball and just dead the ball. Then there's an oriented first touch, you control the ball into space while simultaneously scanning all movement around you. Lastly, first touch is the last thing to go from a Futbol player. Great video
In Brazil we call the first touch “ matar a bola”, literally “to kill the ball”, referring to how you can pretty much stop the ball completely with your first touch…it does require A LOT of skill
Great video fellas, might not comment but we still supporting the channel 🫡…. Just wanna add, watching a first touch video without Zidane or bergkamp is just as criminal as letting Jeffrey Epstein within 50 yards of a school playground 😂
@@dunsonhouse we out here big man! Hope you ALL had a good Christmas and new year! My bday today so I thought I’d watch the vids from early before drinks start getting sipped and everything gets blurry haha….road to 100k, I see you 😎
It's extremely difficult to control an aerial ball(not passed along the grass) that's coming at you with pace- either directly or from above, and to do it like these guys can- at the highest level and intensity, with instantaneous control, ready for the next move - or setting up the next move, is just exciting and magical.
Control is the main word I would say, not the action tho, but the meaning. Yes you can first Touch shoot to goal, but when you do it, you are in full Control mode ❤
It is still control wether you pass it or shoot it, its still require control coz you can shoot it but without proper control of your shot the ball will go anywhere.
Great Reactions guys! Please react to "Ricardo Quaresma when football becomes art" You've reacted to him before but, honestly, that video didn't do him much justice.
The first touch dictates everything that happens next... you can leave a defender behind or put the ball into a position to shoot/pass, or even just to keep possesion in a difficult situation
To be honest, it is one of the most difficult skills to become an expert in the sport, it is really VERY difficult to even master it. Of those I saw play, Messi, Marcelo, Neymar and Dybala were examples of genius in this skill
It's to prevent the ball from bouncing around Wich may gives your opponent a chance to take it from you, many great players consider this as a key skill
For me, off of everything I've seen in football in my life. My top 5 would be: Bergkamp Berbatov Mahrez Marcelo Foden/Isco/Pogba Fifth mine may not be too accurate cause I actually was struggling to think of a fifth one.
The first touch is to put the ball under the players control, it's very hard because it depends o variable things like ball speed, angle, if the defense is putting pressure on ya and so on, plus all elite players have a elite first touch cause they have elite first touches.
This is HARD the ball has so much energy the first touch is absorbing the ball’s energy in controllable way to avoid bouncing very far It is really hard in general to bring any object with so much kinetic energy to a stop with one touch The professional level balls are stiff and bouncy i promise you will be shocked if you see how fast the ball travels in most of these clips
React to "ball controls that can't be repeated in football" by SportsHD, it's basically a better version of this video because it doesn't only show recent clips but also old ones from legends like Bergkamp, Zidane, Berbatov, Ronaldinho etc who had an otherworldly first touch
It looks easy but it’s extremely difficult to pull what you guys just saw, especially with the original balls that’s they play with, an original football ball is hard asf and extremely bouncy.
Definitely some of the best first touches missing from this video (Cruijff against ADO Den Haag, Van Basten against England, Pelé, Bergkamp) and others rather average.
Fam definitely take a soccer ball go kick it pass it around time to time!! Find some ppl playing at the park & join em play have fun start learning few techniques.. u will appreciate everything sooo much moreeeee!!!! Insane as some one who grew up playing soccer all my life training & grew up in the west playing basketball & decently being good at other sports & being on different sports teams… soccer & ice hockey are 2 sports I think are above all levels of sports technicality! Soccer been my main but with my very humble opinion comparing high level of each sport college level youth level Only ice not any other honey ONLY ICE HOCKEY COME TO SOCCER in skill technicality, next level balance while skills tricks, corntrol, shot, volleys, power shot, test stamina, cardio, tackles, goalkeeper importance over all everything needed same level over Basketball American football ( only reason because of long breaks they get & different attack defence kicking team) ,field hockey hand ball cricket all Only reason I say ice hockey only sport same level difficulty of creativity & performance is cuz hockey do all that & allow hard tackles, despite having different strings like American football. Reason I put soccer up there is because if soccer wasnt tough on calling fouls almost every game few pelayers would break their legs & ppl & kids would be not able to play or walk for life! Still so many injuries still happen pro level college youth & pick up so that’s why I rank it equal with hockey. & soccer touches I rack slightly above hockey stick difficulty… so close with soccer foot control because stick control on ice skates If u read this far hope u go out play sometime! I myself suffering from a bad knee injury last 3 years! Haven’t been able to play… finally slowly playing kicking around once or twice a month & be able to run a hit without too much pain! Appreciate ur reactions hope you guys go out & kick a ball about sometime! ⚽️ you will appreciate this soooo much more it’s mindblowing! Blows my mind with some these touches
Guys First touch Video without the likes of Ronaldinho, Iniesta, Zidane, and Bergkamp, etc, is just wrong at so many levels😭😭 I think y'all can find a better first touch video to react too, cause some of those first touches weren't that impressive(some)
Hey appreciate everybody watching dont forget to look in to the Patreon for copyrighted reaction

I don’t think you guys need an explanation ya did it😂
Appreciate you family

Greetings from Tanzania brethren. There is a man you haven’t found out yet . The streets will never forget Adel Taarabt
Hey family follow on I stay and send the link
Yeah. Shout out to Adel. Magician!
Ball knowledge spot on!! Naming players and theirs clubs and all.....ball knowledge right there.

appreciate the insight my guy
Mahrez and Berbatov best first touches
The first touch is one of the most important skill in football with passing and a sign of if you're up there or not, great players have great first touches
If you haven't already i suggest reacting to Rafael Leao and Victor Osimhen
Hey family follow on Instagram send the link
11:40 That first touch of Suarez is unbelievable if you play football then you know what I am trying to say
First touch is simply how good your control of the ball is on your first touch of the ball
You already know what the first Touch is ❤ you already been amazed by a few and reacted to. You just didn't call it the same term we do.
Thank you family
8:09 Nick you were right that’s Iniesta
THANK YOU FAMILY
Riyad mahrez has one of the best first touches in football🔥🔥🥺
Definitely gotta lock in on him ✊🏽
He’s African and African Cup of Nations is busy playing. It’s a tournament
Facts I've always said that, mahrez first touch is consistently impeccable
Bro I don't think you guys understand how hard some of these are to do
My brother's , been on this since day one with y'all! Love seeing my y'all understanding evolve day by day ! Bless 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you family much love
If you want to appreciate how impressive some of these touches are go out onto a field with a football kick it up in the air as far as you can and see how hard it is to bring under control 😮
got you family
But seeing now you got that lol. Its feels banging when you get that perfect touch
02:56 EXACTLY!!! ❤❤😂 I was sure you already knew just from what you've seen of this sport.
yep nick knew
I will give you guys much credit. I've seen some of your first soccer reactions....you've both come a very long way. You now know the team and players by name, in this video towards the end you guys learned and understood what having a "soft touch" and how to use the first touch to set up the next, and the difficulty involved in this skill.

Thank you family much love
Some of these guys have pillows for feet. The ball just falls asleep on their feet. No one better than Berbatov. He was in there, Mr. Nonchalant.
Amazing reaction lovely to see how far you’ve come in your ball knowledge
Thank you so much 😁
its a lot harder to control it with your foot than with your hands, that's what makes it impressive.
You're absolutely right! Controlling it with your foot definitely adds an extra level of difficulty and makes it even more impressive.
Having a good first touch means “don’t let the ball bounce too far away from you after a hard pass”…having a Great first touch means “putting the ball in a position where you find yourself a step ahead the defender”…it requires great technique and talent in order to control the ball off your foot like the pros do
You guys get it
I think the easiest way for you to understand this is to try by yourself. The longer and higher the ball flies the more it will bounce. But first touch is not only control it to receive pass, but also ability to redirect it precisely to pass, assist or even score.

Great video
Just getting the Ball still from such speed with one touch s incredible
In Brazil we call the first touch “ matar a bola”, literally “to kill the ball”, referring to how you can pretty much stop the ball completely with your first touch…it does require A LOT of skill
2:08 "It's like catching an alley-oop", This might be the best explanation for a "touch" i think I've ever heard.
Thats a horrible explanation lmao
Great video fellas, might not comment but we still supporting the channel 🫡…. Just wanna add, watching a first touch video without Zidane or bergkamp is just as criminal as letting Jeffrey Epstein within 50 yards of a school playground 😂

@@hpsauce9608 my guy happy birthday family stay safe out there 🫡
Mahrez is 🔥
First touch is so important but some of these are ridiculous 😅
pedri and gavi are young goats
It's like a hard american football catch
It's extremely difficult to control an aerial ball(not passed along the grass) that's coming at you with pace- either directly or from above, and to do it like these guys can- at the highest level and intensity, with instantaneous control, ready for the next move - or setting up the next move, is just exciting and magical.
Mannn deff the best reactors on youtube most deff
If youve never played soccer you wont understand why a good first touch is special and how hard it actually is
First touch doesn’t have to be control you can have a first touch shot
Appreciate the comment my guy
@@dunsonhouse also fam this vid still needs more Riyad Mahrez 😂 y’all can make an entire first touch video just on him lol
Or first touch pass like when Barca do the tiki taka
Control is the main word I would say, not the action tho, but the meaning. Yes you can first Touch shoot to goal, but when you do it, you are in full Control mode ❤
It is still control wether you pass it or shoot it, its still require control coz you can shoot it but without proper control of your shot the ball will go anywhere.
Pogbas potential at Juve was massive, he should have never left
It’s called control
🔥🔥
Mookie is absolutely right tho with the explanations 💯
Great Reactions guys!
Please react to "Ricardo Quaresma when football becomes art"

There’s more and more
The first touch dictates everything that happens next... you can leave a defender behind or put the ball into a position to shoot/pass, or even just to keep possesion in a difficult situation
First touch control is important and hard to do yall should try to do it whit a football ball
To be honest, it is one of the most difficult skills to become an expert in the sport, it is really VERY difficult to even master it. Of those I saw play, Messi, Marcelo, Neymar and Dybala were examples of genius in this skill
Yes, it's about control. Looks easy on a video but it actually requires a lot of skill and practice.
It's to prevent the ball from bouncing around Wich may gives your opponent a chance to take it from you, many great players consider this as a key skill
Did you fellas do a reaction to Jay-Jay Okocha? Highy recommend it!
guys should react to a Raphael Leao video he is a good upcoming football player
For me, off of everything I've seen in football in my life.
My top 5 would be:
Bergkamp
Berbatov
Mahrez
Marcelo
Foden/Isco/Pogba
Fifth mine may not be too accurate cause I actually was struggling to think of a fifth one.
you forgot the number 1. Zidane
The first touch is to put the ball under the players control, it's very hard because it depends o variable things like ball speed, angle, if the defense is putting pressure on ya and so on, plus all elite players have a elite first touch cause they have elite first touches.
They wouldn’t get how hard a first touch unless you play it especially in a match setting
This is HARD the ball has so much energy the first touch is absorbing the ball’s energy in controllable way to avoid bouncing very far
It is really hard in general to bring any object with so much kinetic energy to a stop with one touch
The professional level balls are stiff and bouncy i promise you will be shocked if you see how fast the ball travels in most of these clips

@dunsonhouse Riyad Mahrez is definitely the one to watch for first touch guys
Been loving these reactions ❤! Could you please react to "Trivela" in football?
Yall need kick the ball in the air and try the dead it in one touch
First, need more eminem!
Coming family appreciation you watching
I appreciate you guys posting, i genuinely get so happy when u guys upload, ill watch whatever you guys react to. Love the variety.@dunsonhouse
It looks easy but it’s extremely difficult to pull what you guys just saw, especially with the original balls that’s they play with, an original football ball is hard asf and extremely bouncy.
How is David Ginola not on here 🤷♂️
U should look up worst first touches in football
Definitely some of the best first touches missing from this video (Cruijff against ADO Den Haag, Van Basten against England, Pelé, Bergkamp) and others rather average.
React to Tupac hail mary
Got you family
Until you play the sport you will never appreciate how impressive a good first touch is. The ball can bounce anywhere.
thank you for the comment my guy
React to more cr7!! Or MBAPPE !!
Hey family follow on Instagram send the links or Patreon family
If you want to know what a first touch is, watch Zinedine Zidane.
Berbatov should be here.
Fam definitely take a soccer ball go kick it pass it around time to time!! Find some ppl playing at the park & join em play have fun start learning few techniques.. u will appreciate everything sooo much moreeeee!!!! Insane as some one who grew up playing soccer all my life training & grew up in the west playing basketball & decently being good at other sports & being on different sports teams… soccer & ice hockey are 2 sports I think are above all levels of sports technicality!

Basketball American football ( only reason because of long breaks they get & different attack defence kicking team) ,field hockey hand ball cricket all
Only reason I say ice hockey only sport same level difficulty of creativity & performance is cuz hockey do all that & allow hard tackles, despite having different strings like American football.
Reason I put soccer up there is because if soccer wasnt tough on calling fouls almost every game few pelayers would break their legs & ppl & kids would be not able to play or walk for life!
Still so many injuries still happen pro level college youth & pick up so that’s why I rank it equal with hockey. & soccer touches I rack slightly above hockey stick difficulty… so close with soccer foot control because stick control on ice skates
If u read this far hope u go out play sometime! I myself suffering from a bad knee injury last 3 years! Haven’t been able to play… finally slowly playing kicking around once or twice a month & be able to run a hit without too much pain!
Appreciate ur reactions hope you guys go out & kick a ball about sometime! ⚽️ you will appreciate this soooo much more it’s mindblowing! Blows my mind with some these touches
Please see pedri and gavi
Zidane has the best touch. Everyone else in the video their touch are overrated. Only Marcelo was clean and good.
Mahrez has a better touch. Just say you like Zidane and move on
@@otunlaisaac5666 Only man that gets close to Zidane is Bergkamp
@@lifeisblessed4802 Okay
Baggio??
Control orientado
react to conor megregor pls
Guys First touch Video without the likes of Ronaldinho, Iniesta, Zidane, and Bergkamp, etc, is just wrong at so many levels😭😭
I think y'all can find a better first touch video to react too, cause some of those first touches weren't that impressive(some)
not the best first touch check Dimitar Berbatov first touch
