I was at this game. Got to meet and take a picture with you at the end. Well worth getting completely soaked.
Matt you’ve been killing it lately, played a great game on the wing at the weekend in the derby
Yaa seriously..! And thanks matt for making these kind of analysis videos that help us in positioning ourselves .. and also various tactics..! Thanks man .. great job 👍🏻
Without a doubt
17:24
Zero body faints....
Come on Matt~
Haha very observant though matt is a defender so maybe he doesn’t practices lots and lots of dribbling
he shouldve cut indside and took the space down the wing
Ohhhh man you are killing it this season really. Through hard work and dedication you became an indisputable starter in the USL. It would be insane to see you join an MLS squad or simply get a trial🙌⚽️
Hey I wathc your videos they're really good
@@shaheershakeel5618 thank you so much, it means a lot!
Honestly one of my favorite performances of you so far Matt. Your comfort on the ball and decision making was so fun to watch, not to mention the combination play between you and your team mates. All that consistent hard work has given you the consistency you need during the big moments. Great work!
Matt, awesome to see such a great, in depth analysis. I play LB so it’s good that I can apply your analysis of a pro player into my game!
I never get bored of the "i can flyyyy"music
these videos are great because they teach you how to read a game from his position and just as a whole
I play left back also and I like how you explain and what I could do better thank you !
Hey can you make a video on How we can build muscle in teeanage years better?
Yesss great suggestion
tons of videos on this not having to do with football
He’s done this alredd
@@MrBeastTellEm what is it called
No need for muscle mate just play lots of good quality football.
One of the best self analysis of the game.. we always learn from some of our own mistakes😊
Omg thanks so much for this video you are truly amazing!!!!
Love this!
Lots of love from India 🇮🇳
watching your games recently, and have watched the old ones u can tell you have improved
Great video mate 🙌 got many many tips and tactics absolutely loved it keep up the grind ❤️
Love from India 💝
I’m following you from now on, I do play a left back position too and this video of you playing in the same position would definitely help in the coming days. I want to improve in many ways for sure. Thanks for the analysis:)
I agree with you, I also do play left back position and I want to improve in my left back abilities. This self analysis helped me out a lot as well👍🏽
AMAZING COMENTARY ! PLEASE KEEP THIS UP.
6:33 thats why when we warm up with the Team everybody Has to be in a line
I'm 32 and decided to start playing again this year after over 10 years of not touching a ball. Your channel is a great resource for all things soccer, from tactics to technique to fitness and everything in between. It's great man. I'm also coaching girls varsity at a high school and all this info will be very helpful. Keep it up!
Great to see you in defence again. Keep up the good work
when are we gonna see you in the MLS
hopefully soon
he deserves it
@@radin_mammudu no kidding
I think what might he preventing him is his age. He's not old ,and I believe good enough, but MLS seems like they want younger blood unless they have played in higher divisions in other countries.
Sad I couldn't watch this in person! I know it stormed on the second half lol
love your analyses, you are the best
hii .... I got smal advicee probably you know of is just when u r on your way to cross try to perform cruyf turn or any type of turns and then make ur own decision to cross or to cut inside specially when u are right footed playing in the left back
Good analysis starting soccer now and decided on LB as my position and u have given me a good understanding on how to play and how to check ur surroundings thank you
Somehow stumbled across your channel. I also played for Westside metros, coach was Monty Hawkins. Study Bitcoin. While you have downtime on the road. Good rabbit hole and worth your time. Keep going man.
Love from India ✨🇮🇳 learning a lot from you ❤️
7:28was definately not offside their cb was playing them onside
Was wondering if you could make a video on what separates an amateur from a professional? And I always wondered why some leagues aren’t as tough or competitive as another like la liga compared to MLS, a video on that would be great as well like what does it take to become world class footballer in a top team?
I pretty sure he did make a video on that already and he said the main difference was the speed of play
Agree with Sean. He also mentions consistency. Simply fewer poor decisions, fewer miscommunication, fewer technical mistakes.
@@seanburst306 thats what I thought but also having a lot of stamina and being consistent throughout the match without making useless skill moves/decisions also help and of course other skills needed in your position but I think being consistent and high amounts of stamina is one of the top requirements
Movement off the ball, which a lot of people don’t see is very important too. If you watch premier league, movement off the ball is so much better than average leagues like mls, players know where they have to be at all times and are always looking for open spaces and moving to pockets where their teammates can find them easily.
I love your soccer/football IQ. Just brilliant
love it bro!!
Thanks our coach told us to see how left backs move or defense in general!
love hearing the tactics
I love this please do more of these analysis
Hey Matt love the content mate keep up the good work
Topic for 2 minute Tuesday : Sugar and its safest substitutes with their side effects
Good work ..!
Great Video
Good 2nd half. Take a touch inward before your left footed cross. You’re swing is chopping across the body and there’s not enough pace on the ball from that far out.
Good game Matt, keep it up bro!
I live in Alabama and was less than 1 hour away from that I didn’t even know y’all had a game that day
Im left back and Im really greatefull for this video love you man
5:57 Food for thought, had he touched the ball forward and clipped a pass into his left winger, he woulda possibly took 4 guys out of the picture and put his forwards a 3v3.
Yea now just lmk why I’m wrong
It was my exact thought at the time as well. I just assumed either tactically the coach wanted them to play just safe balls and maintain possession or otherwise he just doesn't like to take alot of risks (which I honestly think he should take some more of but that's just me)
I was a 2nd string center midfield on a top ranked D3 team... I once got a full 45 min half at Left Back. Coach never explained why he put me there but it's probably the easiest position on the field. Plenty of time on the ball, less fitness required than midfield, not as much accountability as center back or sweeper.
Finally a fullback video
Good video bro
Matt I’ve got a question, would u have to work a normal job after being a soccer player..?
No, being a soccer player and UA-camr is his full time job
What a play what a goal 🔥🔥19:00
I’m a fullback for my team and was a right footed right back but have been moved to the left. Do you have any tips as I’m right footed
wow that play at 19:05 is too good
Left back is the best position 👌
Can you ask Jerome how his time at Miami was? Team seams like it’s not a team bro. No need to name drop, just overall impression of experience.
12:10 hate to break it to you but he did get a touch. Idk if it was before or after the contact but he did get the ball
Matt when you were in high school did you have friends or people who would practice with you because I am 13 and feel like I am the only person in my middle school or even soccer teams who love to play the sport. If not how did you do certain practices that you need a second person for?
Meet persons outside
Local chat group .. local team . Even facebook
@@trinichinee6426 Thanks! but finding them on local teams is harder than it should be in U.S.A :(
Hey please can u do one video same like this one for "how u were moving without the ball and why did u move like that"
How to deal with anxiety and boost my confidence????
Keep playing and just have fun😌
14:48 it was a good ball!!!
7m 27s in.. how is that offside ? Not even close.
Great analysis by the way.
Obviously I'm not one to say anything but I think if you could use your left a little more it would help you a lot. It would give you a lot more options. But again I'm no professional player, so my advice might be wrong.
Top performance
That decision making at 1:50 was god tier
the header?
19:11 when u in the hood
Love from India
Could anyone let me know if there is a UA-cam channel like this or a video like this but analyzing a center mid
wouldn't it make sense for you to not play LB if your left foot isn't your strong foot? just curious as a new soccer player playing lots of defensive positions
kinda cus i am left back and left footed but maybe he wants to play left back cus he wants to get better with his left? ofcourse idk him but that could be an option and if he needs to pass backwards he could also use his right. btw LB, RB and CB al need to be kinda both footed i know every player needs to be a bit bothfooted but as a defender its even more important
Hey matt
i have a small question is it ok to train while i am fasting (no water and food till sun rise to sunset) or i shouldn't train
I trained my typical amount during Ramadan I just decreased the intensity a little!
@@AhmadKhan-ds8hp yes I train tooo but I am not sure is it good for the body or not... As we are not hydrating our body
@@radin_mammudu I played 3 games once without eating, and mostly just water and it didn’t go too well, so maybe just decrease intensity since your body isn’t getting as much nutrients
Nice👍😊
hello brother:
I am a young man of 21 years
I play football in the Egyptian League in the fourth division, but it is very bad and there is no benefit from it
This makes me feel miserable
I'm here fighting for my dream of becoming a great player
But I am Yemeni and I live in Egypt
Is there a way for me to become a professional abroad? Please answer me
bro Cunningham is always on bench i swear hes good but they dont play him
On this game u should of played LM or RM ..not saying ur bad but for a LB or RB u don't explode as good the intensity wasn't there because u were defending more then attac
Can we talk about the touch at 4:40? ...
Not sure what your coach wants from you in that position but I noticed that a few times you take a touch and make space away from your man and because you don’t see anyone open you pass back to your center back. Maybe if you took another driving touch towards the middle of the field you could find a new angle for your teammates as they move around you. Just an observation. Otherwise, keep up the good work bro!👍
like when exactly? can you timestamp it
I think that the back pass is exactly what the coach wants. For a lot of top teams now the top passers on the team are the center backs. No reason to dribble longer when you can give it to a player with more space and a better view of the field.
With the pre-game activation how long before the game do you recommend to do it?
Jay Heaps is the General Manager of Birmingham lol
Most versatile player in the USL...
Hey matt if im a LW and am going to press the RB where should i press? Should i make it so that he can dribble inwards? Or do i block the inside of the pitch so he can only have space in the touchline? Im confused in how to press as a Winger
it depends , (talking as a fellow LW) first thing u need to do is analyze him. what foot is he (most likely right footed) which foot does he dribble with? is he really quick? can he control the ball well while running or does he like to knock forward? ur first few times pressing, press him equally, not towards the center or the wing. (unless your coach says otherwise) let's say he's a right footed speedster. then I'd press him in towards the pitch because he can't run as freely or create with his right foot because there's less space. whereas if u let him run on the wing he could knock the ball past u and take off doing the same to ur left back or other players.
also check his dribbling skills, confidence and concrentration . you also have to stay locked in and focus so he doesn't hit u with a feint or a nutmeg and play with u however he wants. i would recommend playing a lot of 1v1s so u can be reliable in defense as well. i've received praise for that in the past from coaches and teammates but be careful that ur offensive game and shooting is strong so u don't get thrown at wingback or centre back. stamina is also key
Matt I have a question. Is America a country where you can easily make it or is it at least easier than Europe? And also should I risk it to travel to other countrys for trials and how can I find when and where does trials happen? I really want a response to these questions bc I'm 15 and I wanna start investigating this area of the pro football business
You should listen to all of Matt's Against All Odds podcasts. Tons of great stories from his FC Tulsa teammates about their journey to pro.
@@shantiescovedo4361 ok thanks mate
Very Neymar-esque game. I don't mean the flashy stuff, but the intelligent quick attacking and through ball game. LOVED this from you Matt.

Hi Matt Im joining a club for the 2021-22 season and it’s my first season playing soccer competitively for a School and club so I’m really nervous do u have any tips to prepare ?
It’s my second season playing competitively but serious 😂
Is it too late to start soccer\football?
(Beginner)
I'm 14
ofc not
But when you start make sure you are consistent with your training
@@yashb3655 thx
I agree with Yash. I started when I was 30. If you want to improve quickly, find a wall and bounce it off the wall with both feet.
@@yashb3655 can I still become a pro?
I think you need to work on your 1v1 ability, especially down the line.
Where can I watch these usl games like the full game
ESPN+. Worth the subscription fee.
Decent fullback
Understands the game
Vision is ok
passing is good
U seem to lack the overlapping aspect as a fullback and moves the ball good into the channels for your teamates though
What u can do is leave that aspect for the midfielders and u overlap on the left side instead
Another thing to is that its good to have confidence in your weak .. i admire that .. but challenge them with your strong foot.. cut inside into the channels .. the game woukd had open more .. u played too much and drift outside where the play is shut down . And the play is dead from lacking midfielders
All that aside .. it seems that u have what it takes to be a good all round fullback
Just keep grinding ⚽️
I play left-back and we we wear the same number
💯🔥
Anyone know what I should do as left back when being attacked from the right side
I'm very new to lb
Easy.mark who is nearest to you.dont tackle .just contain first
Ty
I've never been this early
I feel like u play more as a attaking full back and cdm than as a normal full back :/
19:05
19:13 = prime arsenal
Not gonna lie, the shots at 6:25 should've been caught or at least parry to the side. Lucky they didn't score one of those. not hating but i think he has to do better.
Was thinking the same thing, there was a lot the keeper should’ve done better
You need a better team mate !!! They are sabotaging you mate
Early ❤️
Lmao hate to be that guy but as soon as Matt gets subbed off, look what happens.
What happened
@@chivas7295 they scored
@@letsplaysoccer1338 don’t hate on Matt bro
first 💥💥💥💥💥💥
nah man think I was first
@@joshkidman3897 no man i was first😌
Nice job. I'd like to see attempts at maybe a lower percentage pass that can Penatrate more. Especially once you were down 2.
Good game though and nice analysis.
