2 v 1

[Mauricio]

What kind of moves would you try if you had to take on two defenders simutaneously and then had to take the shot on the goalie?

Would the Maradona be a good move to try?

Depends really. If it was 2v1 you may actually want to hold the ball up for a bit and wait for support. If the defenders are positioned 1 in front of the other (so one in front, one behind), it's obviously hard to go 1v1 if theres no space for you to get in behind the first one. But I don't know what would work because it depends if they're both double teaming, high/low pressure from the defenders, and if you're doing a move around 1 of them, if your teammates are back to support and if they're a better option.

[SaberWolf]

Push them back until they stop back-pedaling, and when they stop, they will either wait for YOU to make a move, or they will MAKE a move.

1. If they make a move- just move the ball out the way (which is farely easy) then blow by the first one, and if you get some speed then just run by the other one.

2. If they wait on you to make the move- turn your back to them, and protect the ball, and kinda push against them with your back, then if they just slightly push you, fall down on your face.


Refs are VERY picky about 2v1 and I have given guys yellow cards, because I faked a fall by protecting the ball.

[Dizzee Wahil]

I play a 2-v-1 game with some friends quite often. Though we make it in a box, so its much harder. The spin ('Maradona' turn) is probably the most effective move for this situation.

Actually one move I have worked on a bit, which is awesome, is doing a step-over followed by a spin. It is really effective because it puts you back on the course you were on and simultaneously baffles the defenders

[SaberWolf]

Dizzee, can you explain alittle further. Like which foot you step-over and which turn direction?

Yes, I too am interested Dizze, please enlighten us.

360 turn in between two defenders

[Dizzee Wahil]

ahaha, okay...

(Just an example, of course, you could switch all the lefts and rights)

Stepover the ball from inside to outside with the left foot. Take the ball to the right, using the outside of the right foot. Immediately turn the body and drag the ball backwards [with studs] (forwards in comparison to the starting direction) using the left foot then complete the spin (Maradona turn) by bringing the ball through [with studs] using your right foot.

Yas get it? I hope that wasnt too in depth, I just wasnt sure which parts ppl understood.

-- Essentially, fake to go left, go right, spin through on the left diagonal --

But yeah its a really great move coz just as the defenders trying to get on course to stop the initial move you beat them (4 sure) with another

[devious]

I always do the fooling move, I dont know how to explain.. but I can say that I wake slowly and do like loosing the ball away for 3 yards, then one of the defenders will think the ball is far away from me and will try to tackle to take it, I move the ball forward and then one defender reamins that I usualy dribble with the Roanldinho trick or Zidan`s 360 dribble.

[Rickster]

the other day one of my mates did tis relly weird move in 5 aside. he had a shooting stance like looking ready to shoot but as he was goin to shoot he rolled the ball backwards with his sole of his foot n caught it again wif the same foot wif his toes... was relly funny cos the defender kept runnin but al the while he had the ball

[Mauricio]

Rickster i don't understand what you mean

Devious-when you tackle to get the ball back isn't that sort of risky and what happens if the defender is still there.

By the way the Ronaldinho is one of my favorites. But could you explain the zidan 360, I have heard of it and may have even done it and seen it but I am not sure.
Thanx

[PANCEVAC]

it really depends on how good the defenders and how fast,strong or skillful they are but if it was me i would stepover with my right foot, turn my body around roll the ball back with my right whilst im shielding one of the defenders, turn over again slightly kick the ball to my left leg then kick it the ball to the side of one defender sprint down with the ball and shoot. Or if you are faster then them try get past one normal then if possible nutmeg the other one :p

I've seen that before. Ronaldinho does that in one of These (http://www.ronaldinho10.com/barcelonevideo0405gestes.htm) video's. I wish I hadn't renamed it, after I downloaded it. But its 27 seconds long.

Its got Ronaldinho dribbling the ball then he passes the ball then the guy he passes to runs the ball back to Ronaldinho, then he just STEPS on the ball, then rolls the ball backward with his studs, then uses his toe to stop it after it had rolled behind his heel. It faked the hell out of one of those defenders.

He does it hella fast though, and looks with his head the way he fakes doing it, so it looks REALLY good.

Okay kids, that's enough let me explain.

The most simple answer to this question "2v1" is IMPROVISE there are a million situations in which 2 defenders are guarding you and you have to think about what is the most effective decision to make based on your skill level and their size and skill level.

You can attempt to cross them with stepovers although most likely in the divisions that I play with that ends up with a foul, because the defenders I go against would rather get a red card or yellow than to be embarrassed by me. But then again there are those situations that you can do 4 stepovers and cross more than 2 defenders. Let me give you a tip, stepovers and other fancy moves are only good when you are in the penalty area because at that point the defenders are scared to tackle you incase the ref calls a penalty. Stepovers are a whole different story.

What I like to use I don't know the name of it but I have seen Ronaldinho and some other players use it, it's when you fake to take the ball to your right by moving your whole body and foot to the right but then switch the ball back to the left by just moving your ankle and foot. I have practised this for a long time and it works very well against one defender and the reason why I'm telling you this for 2 defenders is because when the next defender comes he expects me to do another fancy move but instead I turn my head to the left and move to the right with as much pace as I can in order to get the most distance from him.

There are hundreds of moves and techniques I use against defenders and to be honest with you only half of the sexy ones work but once you do cross the defenders with the moves then you feel like you are unstoppable which sometimes is a reality because you get so pumped.

If you are not as good as I am with crossing defenders :cool: :D then I suggest you practise rather than stay in here asking how to do 2 v 1's.

i think I should be offended, but thankfully I am not :cool: . Thanx for your imput and your wisdom and knowledge, it will help others.(As well as my self)
Also do not think that I am not skilled, I may not be the greatest but I am pretty decent. I already know a few ways to get past 2 defenders, just thought I might ask in order to learn better ways or at least have a variety.

I guess you could say that I am always trying to improve. Anyway.........

tat ronaldinho move doesnt work when theres 2 defenders. its called the flip flap n no it doesnt work wen theres 2 defenders. cos if one is behind the other then the defender behid wil easily collect the ball. if there r 2 defenders side to side the defender will jus stand there n will u run into them n they get the foul. so dunt do it wen theres 2 defenders marking u

[Mauricio]

Rickster- If the defenders are playing side by side, couldn't you just attack one and go to their outside?

For example- 2 defenders side by side, you are dribbling with your right at the right defender you do the ronaldinho with the left putting the ball on your right. Then dribble past him. Even though it would be a difficult shot from that angle towards the goal. But you could try a cross. At least your away from both defenders.

Could you please explain again

[soccerperson]

Hello,

I dont know if this will help, but if there are 2 defgenders side by side or something, then all i think you should do is scood the ball up over thei leg level and if you are fast enough just run throught them in the middle. BEcause if you do that then they trip you then its a foul and if you are strong enough and fast (like me) then you can break throguh them and the they will have to go around you.

I dont this will work on all situatuons but sometimes it might,

tthanks

[TheU]

Not alot you can do if you're playing 2 very good defenders and especially if you're playing 5 a side but whatever you do it has to be quick. I'd stepover with my left foot to the left and bring all my body weight in that direction, then curl the ball on goal with the inside of my right foot to the opposite direction. If the keeper is screened and the ball is close enough to the corner you got yourself a goal.

[Dizzee Wahil]

:thumbsup: probably the best idea so far...

[Linkzone1]

Yeah, great play to work on.

[Mauricio]

Could you please explain again

Yeah.

The defenders are side by side. Instead of going through both of them, just do a ronaldinho on one to the outside away from the other defender. Then take the shot in stride. That way you only have to deal with one defender and still have a good shot attempt.
:smoking:

Watch Barca -vs- Milan (from the Champs Lg), its exactly what Ronnie did to score his goal. Had Nesta and maybe even both Maldini and Stam. Dropped his shoulder, flicked his foot right and then suddenly bang, snapped back left and unleashed a blazing arrow.

[szyslack]

I recomend u to pass the ball cuz if r 2 players over u 1 of ur player should b free
but if u really wanna go 4 it I will go with a double cut
