I'm shorter than most of the people, and in the Sunday League, there were a LOT of big guys when I started to play. They beated the 14 year old skinny, short kid in the ground every time. I needed a few years to realise what the advantages of being short. Once I learned the right way and timing of lowering my center of mass, I became an obstacle that you bounce off of, if you charge me with full speed. I can count on my hands how many times I have been tackled by a bodycheck or a diving, in the last 5 years.
My father is a basketball champion, I never knew that he was good at football until I played a 1v1 with him, I crashed out, lost, and he won. His tackling and defending skills are a big win.
Tips: + Don't dive in (Don't attack the attaker,(wait for him) +Get set ( predict his moves, and attack quickly) +Contain (wait for him to do something stupid and flashy) +Dont let them know +Give yourself space( jump first for heading or blocking the player and intercepting a pass )
On big attackers: I will fake giving them a prolonged bodycheck (give em a bit, and wait a beat), and when they lean in---poof! I ain't there and they're off balance and easy pickings. It's like football judo, once you feel that resistance, you gotta slip out and let them wobble about a bit. Which is why footwork is super important to be mindful of in all practice, because that's the most basic part of the setup.
My main hobbies are judo and soccer so it's cool to see this perspective. It's called "pulling the chair" in basketball, when someone is backing you down aggressively in the post you can simply disengage and they fall on their ass
I play ball hockey, but I'm going to have to try to adapt this advice in my game, especially about not diving in when it's a fast attacker, because this is exactly what I was struggling with when dealing with a pair of fast attackers today! Good video!
Loved this (and the humor)! I focused as a defender for most of my years playing soccer and learned all these things eventually. Every bit of it is great advice!

This has really helped me but could u pls pls plssssss do a video on smaller attackers and what to do if ur a defender in that situation bc its hard to tackle and not foul when their small ??
💀 i dont think u can focus on 3 things keeping the ball at ur feet,using this as an advantage,and opening or creating chances or putting the ball in the net its hard enough to focus on 1 thing and 2 things is impossible 3 things ur gaurenteed to fail
@@aerzinho keeping the ball at my feet isn't something I really think about personally, most of the time I'm watching what the defender is doing and my teammates around me. Keeping the ball is just muscle memory or instinct, my brain does it automatically like reading. Just like what messi said, he always knows its there.
This video really helped me in my game today i was able to defend so good today thanks for the guy that paired with me we understand each other so well today
As a fast unskilful attacker, I agree. I love when they dive in. I love when they get too tight as well, just play a bounce pass and accelerate into the space...
I am a top defender of my school, we 6a defeated 8b in match in 3-1, pace matters too much, if you lose control and have pace, do a soft slide tackle, if they power shoot, block with knee if it is a launch shot, block with ankle if it is a ground shot, block with shoulder or head if it is a high shot, as a defender dont try to learn skills, they are mostly useless.

I just started playing football less than half a year ago at the age of 19 so to me everybody is a fast and skillful players, thanks for the tips mate!
I need a little help with a little issue. When I’m defending my opponent moves the ball so quick back and forth (indoor turf), that sometimes I accidentally tap the opponents leg when trying to take the ball from them. For me I would just keep playing unless I know the contact is intentional. What can I do to avoid this?
I'm a defender at soccer and I hate it when a enemy team has fast skillful players I have a hard time trying not to dive in but my Dad told me not to dive in and just move around at a angle to slow him down then we he is about to kick I block the kick this video helps me out a lot.
Just now realizing using my speed to brush up against the rear of a player receiving a pass with good ball control was allowing them to take the side I wasn't on around me
My son is 9 and would like to know what he can do to stop players who can shoot before he even gets close to them. They r dangerous at shootings and get it straight in the net. Thank u
If your keeper is terrible, then you have to try and pressure as much as possible cut down all or as much shooting lanes as possible and give him no site of the goal hope it helps
Bro i have Been following you for a long time but question is i am just a kiddo and if i wait for the deffender to dive in and then i get the ball they will say "just step out your foot, Can't you just get the ball etc". What can do for that. Plz help JOHN!
I’ve been watching basketball more recently and have started to wonder if body blocking is legal in soccer like it is in the NBA? The rules that I can find is that if you’re not close enough to play the ball then obviously it’s a foul but surely there could be a way to make it look like you’re trying to play the ball so your teammate can take it around and you either block them or make them commit a foul. If anyone can think of any instances like this let me know because it’s very interesting to me.
One Thing that I do As A Defender and A Striker i wait for them to aproach me dont move until they move and dont look nervous Look where thet are leaning And once you know that kick the ball out of their legs
Im not ashamed when flashy player humiliate me im a beginner what I do get upset is when my intention is to get the ball but I end up hurting or tripping the opponent and feel bad and they end up getting mad at me (always the skinny folks btw)
