No.1 Neymar Jr. Skill You Have To Learn! - Easy Football Tutorial

Have you seen how Neymar used a double pull push behind standing leg to beat 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 defenders? And how he also finds space behind defensive lines to create a dangerous situation? Lots of defenders have been beaten with this simple but incredibly effective skill move. And if you master the technique, it works 99% of the time. This made us wonder why this skill is so effective and which technical aspects of the skill are crucial to beat defenders. Now let's find out why it is such an effective skill. The pull push behind the standing leg can save you in many situations, anywhere on the pitch. Especially when defenders pressure frontally or sideways. Due to the fluent movement and sudden change of directions, defenders are put on the wrong foot and won't be able to catch up. This gives you time and space to scan for the best options and maintain ball possession. Now let's reveal step-by-step all technical aspects of the pull push behind standing leg skill. Step 1. Start by pulling the ball backwards with the sole of your foot. Simultaneously jump forward with your standing leg. This jump is very important because it will help generate momentum and create space behind your standing leg for the trick. Step 2. While jumping, also position your chest over the ball and turn your head towards the direction you want to go after the trick. At the same time, push the ball forward using the inside of your foot into the free space. Step 3. As soon as you've made contact with the ball, look for the ball to track its movement right away. Follow the movement of your head and turn your entire body in the direction of the ball. Step 4. As you turn your body, lift your standing leg off the ground and pivot it in the direction you are heading. Maintain forward leaning posture. This forward momentum helps you accelerate and continue your movement with speed and agility. Once you master the technical aspects of the skill, it is also very important to understand how to time the pull push.

In this example, Neymar receives the ball surrounded by five defenders, so always start to scan the field and know where your teammates are and where to expect pressure from opponents. Time the move as soon as the defender steps in and use your standing leg as a break by planting it firmly on the ground. When the defender gets closer, swiftly execute the pull push to flip the ball into free space. Step 2. Immediately after executing the back heel, turn your body swiftly to shield the ball from the approaching defender. Directly followed by accelerating into open space while remaining alert for any potential threats or challenges from other opponents. Step 3. As you move into open space, be prepared for pressure coming from a second defender. Check your shoulder to know the defender's position and timing. Now again use your standing leg as a break and use it to shield the ball. Subtle roll the ball away from the defender and use the pull push to play into space. Scan again to see your best options and quickly continue to create new attacking situations while the defenders are off guard. Let's move on with three amazing ways to train the pull push at home because mastering this trick requires practice, coordination, and control, so get a ball and familiarize yourself with the technique and timing. Start training the pull push move with just the ball. Begin slowly and make sure to fully control all aspects of the basic technique. Once you get a hang of it, also train with your non-dominant foot. Increase the speed of play as you get better. This helps you to use the skill with confidence while you are being pressured by an opponent. Another great way to train the pull push is by doing combinations with both feet. This will help you to do a lot of repetitions, get the movement quickly in your muscle memory, and it is a fantastic exercise to work on your balance. Here is a nice challenge. Put a hand in front of your eyes and see how many times you can do the pull push in a row. Last but not least, invite some friends and have fun practicing the pull push in real 1v1 situations when fully pressed by an opponent. Lots and lots of high quality practice is the best and only way to refine and improve your football techniques and timing.
