By training individually, you can improve virtually every element of a footballer's skills, such as ball control, technique or physical preparation.
One of the most difficult elements to develop for a footballer is understanding the game, making decisions and being creative.
If you have been wondering how you can develop them, a solution that is ideal for you, which is often used by the best footballers in the world, Iniesta suggested.
The legendary Spanish central midfielder told how one day FC Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard announced that instead of training, they would watch videos and analyze the game of the best players in the world so that each of them could learn something new.
Back then, in Barcelona it was a very popular form of training that took place once a week in order to train selected elements on the field the next day.
Iniesta then decided that his role model would be Paul Scholes, a Manchester United player.
If you want to make regular progress and develop yourself, you should plan such a day once a week and, in combination with regeneration and rest, watch and analyze the game of the best players in the world, and then introduce certain elements step by step into your game, first for training and then during matches.
Today, in a situation where virtually everyone has access to the Internet on the phone, it is surprising how few young footballers use it in this way to learn from the best.
If you haven't done it yet, you should definitely try it.
You will be surprised how much you can learn this way.
When watching, pay attention to aspects of the player's behavior such as:
- WINNING DUELS
- MOVE AND POSITION ON PITCH.
- REACTION AFTER LOSING THE BALL.
- HOW TO CONTROL THE BALL
