Recently breaking the La Liga goal scoring record, and current holder of the Champions League goal scoring record, Messi is undoubtedly one of the greatest players ever. But what are his <strong>soccer skills<\/strong> that set him apart from the competition?<\/p>\n<p>Today in partnership with Coerver Coaching, we will highlight two of\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coerver.com\/blog\/messi-skills\/\">Messi\u2019s<\/a> soccer skills<\/strong>; Change of Direction and Dynamic Speed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There are four key ways\u00a0Messi\u00a0Changes Direction with the ball.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coerver.com\/blog\/messi-skills\/\">Messi<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0uses change of direction moves like the \u201cU-turn\u201d &amp; \u201cDrag Back\u201d to shield the ball from defenders. Check out this video\u00a0so you can learn and test your own U-turn and drag back moves.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9eMXGu0SH-M\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Make sure you touch the ball with your toe, pivot and change direction with a high knee movement.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to do the \u201c<em>Drag back<\/em>\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stop the ball with the sole of your foot, drag it back, change the angle of your hips and push the ball out using the inside of your foot.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The\u00a0Zig\u00a0Zag Soccer Skills Test<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Set up this simple drill with your friends or by yourself. Use two different change of direction moves between each cone. When you have mastered it with your good foot, start practicing on your weaker foot, by starting the drill at the other end!!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. As\u00a0Messi<\/strong>\u00a0is usually double or even triple marked by defenders, he sometimes uses double or triple change of direction moves to protect the ball and get out of trouble. This is one of the reasons he is so amazing! Skilled players have a great chance of beating or protecting the ball against one opponent.\u00a0Messi\u00a0can keep the ball or beat two or three opponents regularly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0Messi<\/strong>\u00a0is brilliant at combining change of direction moves to create a space for the quick one two pass with a team mate or giving him time to make the killer pass. The killer pass is a pass that creates a goal chance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Finally<\/strong> he uses change of direction moves to create a shot.\u00a0Messi\u2019s\u00a0shot is usually with his left foot and he places the ball in the back of the net with a firm passing like technique. This is great news for all of us, as we can all learn that composure, accuracy and placement scores goals. With practice we can all improve these qualities in our game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dynamic speed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course\u00a0Messi\u00a0is blistering fast, particularly over the first five yards. He is lightening quick, something that he has worked incredibly hard on in practice. But there is one thing that we can all incorporate into our own game about\u00a0Messi\u2019s game, and that\u2019s speed!<\/p>\n<p>Think about the way that he stops &amp; starts when he is dribbling the ball. He changes pace, either from slow to fast, or fast to slow. This is a nightmare for defenders as they do not know when to make the tackle. The defender does not know how you are going to control your speed and can&#8217;t anticipate your soccer skills. This may give you more time and more space with the ball crafting a pass, dribble or shot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out the step kick here.<\/strong><br style=\"box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\" \/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box;
