When you are receiving the ball and a defender is on your back, turning with the inside of your foot is an effective technique to deceive your opponent. It works by receiving and turning in a single motion in order to keep the ball protected. First receive with the inside of your foot, and then glide the ball to the outside on the turn to really sell the fake. And remember to look over your shoulder to see the space you are moving into next. Turning with the inside of your foot can really fool a defender when executed well.

The push pass is an essential skill used by all players for short and medium passing. Before it gets used, it is key to assess the game situation so you can determine how hard or soft you want to pass to be. Then plant your foot while keeping you ankle locked and heel down, and push the ball to a teammate smoothly and fluidly. When you shape the push pass to the specific foot of a player, it can be highly effective anywhere on the field.
