Control of the ball-Most important thing in a football game

Football is a game of time and space. The best players can control the ball in a short time and in a limited area.
There are three important points for a good control of the ball.
1.    The first key protects the ball from opponents and leaves them no opportunity to take the ball.
2.    Play the ball in enough space to allow the next key.
3.    Allow the movement of game start or continue taking or keeping the momentum.
A poor first touch could put the momentum out of the game and increase the possibility of losing possession of the ball. Some players make the mistake of securing the ball and not focus on the goal of sending off their feet.
Teaching the receiving-control in football, the first key is the most important. The simplest to receive a balloon way is to use inside the foot. The players stand in a relaxed position with eyes on the ball and adjust their position to remain in the path of the ball. The support foot is positioned slightly in front of the other foot. The kicking foot touches the ball and then fell immediately at the time of impact. It usually repels the ball away from the body of the player.
1. Use the inside of the foot to control a ball on the ground. All the weight of the body must be on the supporting leg, foot reception raised slightly above the ground.
2. Relax and absorb the ball rather than offer resistance against the ball. The purpose is to absorb any force in receiving the ball with a damped key. It gives the ball a large area to land. Chest, head, thigh or foot is retracted upon contact.

Receive a pass using the inside of the foot

1. Get the ball even with the toes or slightly forward
2. Stiffen or relax the receiving foot so that the ball stops about a step, allowing the athlete to make a quick pitch and hit. It is not that which gives power to the pass.
3. Make sure the receiving foot is located 10-12 inches off the ground. If the receiving foot is too low, the ball will be well received and will contact the back of the foot under the ankle bone, away from the toes. Lift the toes so that the foot is parallel to the ground and not pointing down. If players can not remember lifting the foot, train them by making them lift the foot above the ball then lower the foot in front of the ball to stop it. This will help them remember.
4. If you want the ball to go left or right rather than straight ahead, athletes must give their angle and foot touch the ball more forward or backward, depending on whether they want to send the ball to the left or right.
