Learn how to master playing UNDER PRESSURE

in this video you will learn how to play Under Pressure I can guarantee you 99.9% of the time when you're playing the game you will be under a lot of pressure the pressure that you're under on will really depend on what position you play so if you're playing Winger or defensive roles you're not going to be as much pressure as you would be when you're playing the center mid attacking mid or striker position and trust me when you are playing these positions you will be under so much pressure that you almost feel like you can't breathe on the pitch but how can you learn to play Under Pressure obviously improving your first touch and vision will definitely help you come out of those tight spaces or when you're under a lot of pressure from the opposition I think it's more important that you learn how to come out of the pressure so you are not under pressure anymore yes you will be under pressure but once the opposition tied to your back if you are a very talented player who has great vision who has great touch you won't be able to turn you won't be able to breed you just going to have to play Simple and this is going to frustrate you because as a talented player you don't want to really play Simple you want to actually create the [Music] game in my opinion a good player is not the one that knows how to play Under Pressure but I think a good player is actually the one that knows how to come up out of that pressure to create space for themselves the creating space for a successful player is a key recipe to be a great player on the pitch I can guarantee you this you will be under pressure on the pitch no matter where you are you will be under pressure some positions you'll be under more pressure some positions you'll be under less pressure but you will be under some sort of a pressure almost the entire game but how can we come out of those areas where you have lots of pressure first of all you need to know where on the pitch there is a lot of pressure so if you're a striker you will be under pressure because there will be two center backs breathing behind your back and if you're a center mid there will be the opposition Center mids as well as their defensive mids their job is not to let you turn not to let you breede so this is very important to realize they on the pitch you're going to have a lot of pressure technically speaking the teams likes to close the central areas where they put a lot of pressure in the central areas and give the space on the out wide and this is what's important to realize because as a center mid attacking mid you're going to have to drop deep sometimes to create yourself that space or open up wide a little bit almost where your finger is but not quite because you also want to give a space for your Wingers to receive the ball ideally you would drop deep create that space and this is the great part about this when you drop deep to receive the ball creating space for yourself if the opposition is still following in you and still not letting you breathe this is a good thing because now you created a space for your teammates to actually receive the ball and that's the key to a successful player because you are not only thinking for yourself but for your team how can you create the space for your team sometimes you'll have to come out of the space create the space for yourself but at the same time you're coming with the idea okay I'm coming to this position now my other teammates can receive the ball centrally and there is one of a man in the central areas for my teammates to receive the ball you need to find these Clues hints that will help you on the pitch to realize how can I make this happen how can I come up with these solutions to help my team out as well as help myself out because it's any player's nightmare when you're under a lot of pressure yes you might know how to deal with these situations when you're under a lot of pressure trust me you'll never feel comfortable to receive the ball never feel comfortable to turn with the ball you will feel a lot more comfortable if you actually came out of those tight spaces spaces where there is lots of pressure and had that opportunity for yourself to actually be able to turn comfortably and create the game because think about it this way you're a very talented Central midfielder or attacking midfielder and you are about to receive the ball in the central areas but there is pressure behind you and you did receive the ball now you can't turn back because in a dangerous zones like the central areas you can't really turn you can't really take too much risk because if you do if the oppositions win the ball now they are counterattacking and threatening your team then it forces you to play Simple back to your teammates and this is very frustrating for talented Center mids to actually do and yes there is a place and a time to play Simple and to take risk but more importantly you need to find those gaps where you are comfortably receiving the ball and turning with the ball lifting your head up and finding your teammates as a striker and attacker most likely you'll be under pressure the whole time and there is not really much room much space for you to actually come out of those spaces where there is lots of pressure so your basic job is already to have the opposition in your back tied to you touch the ball comb the ball down and play it back to your teammates and that's your job generally as an attacker anyways and then make your run after you lay it off to somebody else you don't have to worry about as a striker to come out of those tight spaces pressured spaces too much as a center mid or attacking mid it's very important to actually learn to come out of those pressured spaces and create the space for yourself as well as for your teammates being able to do this most likely will determine whether if you can survive this position whether if you're cut out to play this position or not not so if you don't think you can do this after working hard at it that means you might not be a good candidate to play the center mid or attacking mid position maybe you might need to go to the width of the Field playing as a Winger or you might have to drop to play as a defensive mid because generally defensive mid gets little less pressure than the attacking mid or Center mid unless the opposition decides to press high or opposition is a kind of team that presses really high but when this happens as a defensive mid yes you get a lot of pressure but then that opens up a little more space for your Center mids or attacking mids or Strikers to receive the ball this all have a time and a place but I think if you don't think you're cut out to play as a center mid or attacking mid or if you're are not good Under Pressure if you can't come out of those places to create the space for yourself it's better to play as a defensive mid for you because it's more comfortable and generally a calmer position to play compared to the attacking mid or or a cerament there are few exercises few drills that you can do to actually Practice coming out of pressure as well as play Under Pressure if you don't have any friends that can help you with couple of friends actually that can help you with you can set up these cones like a box you can be at this one of the cone and then as your friend passing the ball to you now you can actually Sprint to the next cone to receive the ball don't be stationary when you're receiving the ball at all this doesn't mean you're under pressure or not you should always move towards the ball to receive the ball this will help you a lot when you're playing a game especially if you want to move to the next level 1 2 3 four four 3 1 and if you can have a couple of friends coming out with you to the pitch to help you out or practice with you you now you can actually set up this box again have your friend behind you actually putting you under pressure and now you're sprinting forward to receive the ball trying to get away from the pressure from the friend that you have behind you these are very important drills and this will really help you to improve to work under pressure as you're doing these drills also sometimes try other things try to turn with the ball when your friend is putting pressure on you because this gives you the unpredictability don't always try to Sprint to the other comb but kind of come towards the ball receive the ball and try to turn with the ball when you are under pressure you will notice how hard it is and how hard it will be to do this always better to come to a different place Sprint to a different location to receive the ball come towards the ball shorten that distance that you have with the ball and yourself so learn to play Under Pressure but more importantly learn to come out of the pressure to give yourself that space [Music] drop a comment if you have a question or if you disagree with something or if
