Maradona Skill Move Tips
Mistakes:
❌ Dribbling in a straight line.
❌ Not changing direction when performing the turn.
❌ Executing the move too close to the defender, making it easier for them to dispossess you.
❌ Not using the body effectively to protect the ball during the turn.
❌ Failing to accelerate after the turn, allowing the defender to recover.
Corrections:
✅ Approach at a slight angle as the defender comes near. Timing is crucial; initiate the move as the defender approaches from an angle. The move won't be effective if both the attacker and defender are moving directly towards each other.
✅ When turning, aim to move into open space. This ensures you evade the defender and maintain control of the ball.
✅ Use your body to shield the ball while turning, keeping it away from the defender's reach.
✅ Practice the move with both feet to become more versatile and unpredictable.
✅ Accelerate quickly after completing the turn to exploit the space and gain an advantage over the defender.
