A beautiful game must be full of deception. Take your game development to the next level with the ability to surprise your opponents with quick jukes, clever passes and convincing gimmicks. If you want to learn how to steal, you can learn to master the ball with magic, make free-kick shots, and kick like a pro. See Step 1 for more information.

Step

Method 1 of 2: Ball Mastering Tricks

Step 1. Dribbling with both feet

Nothing makes a player more one-dimensional than always being on the same side. Being an agile dribbler is a great way to trick your opponents. If you have the ability to strengthen the left and right of your foot, you will become a dominant player and a good con artist.

• Do the cone exercise with both feet, down with one leg, and back again with the other leg.

  

• Swap with the other side on the court every other practice, so you get to experience playing from another point of view and force yourself to shoot with the other foot.

  

Step 2. Study Matthews and Matthews upside down

The basic motion of the juke in general as a dribbler is Matthews, followed by reverse Matthews. Learning to incorporate this juke into your basic dribbling technique will improve your game. It's easy to learn-you've probably been doing it without realizing it. Train Matthews slowly and increase his speed in the game.

• To do the Matthews, you make two quick touches on the ball with your dominant foot. On your first touch, bring the ball across your body in an inward step, and next, kick it away from you with the same side of your foot. This is often done while stationary, against defenders, and can be a great way to create distance.

  

• To do reverse Matthews, you also make two quick touches to the ball with your dominant foot, but in the opposite direction. Trick like you would to the other side by touching with the outside of your foot, then bringing it back across your body with an inward step. At times of high speed, this is a fine gimmick.

  

Step 3. Practice rolling over and upside down

Rolling is a great way to vary your touch and maintain a great amount of ball control. Learning to roll quickly and with movement calculations will keep your defenders in balance, making it very difficult to tell where you're going. It's also very touchable.

• To perform a roll, use the tortoise foot of your dominant foot to roll the ball forward. Do not kick, but roll. Go back the other way, use the other leg, roll back. Practice doing this forward, forming a cone to get the timing correct.

  

• To perform a reverse roll, you pull the ball toward you as it moves backwards. Start with your dominant foot at the top of the ball, then step back, rolling the ball forward and moving fast enough so that you can get in front of it. Then, pull back with the other leg. This will be a good way to change direction and create gaps.

  

Step 4. Perform a step-over

Perhaps the fastest movement of a dribbler in soccer is a stride, where you juke one side quickly before cutting the other way. To complete the move, start dribbling forward at a normal pace.

• With your dominant foot, step the ball from your weak side to your strong side. In other words, if you are right-footed, step over the ball as you walk, from your left to your right. Use your dominant foot and use the outside of your other foot to quickly kick the ball in the opposite direction. This move will trick the defenders, outwitting them flatly and misguided, and you can cut in the opposite direction.

  

• In a double stride, you will step over the ball with both feet before heading in the original direction. If you are right-footed, step on the ball with your right foot from left to right, then with your left foot from right to left, then use the outside of your right foot to kick back to your right. Increase speed!

  

Step 5. Try the Zidane round

No, you don't walk up to defenders and head them in the chest. However, it's a 360-degree turn with the ball that will leave your enemies trailing behind. It's easy to practice, but somehow hard to put into practice in the game. However, when used properly, it can be a destructive move. Use this when your opponent is lunging at you.

• When you're dribbling at a good pace, step on the ball with your dominant foot to stop it and turn your body 180 degrees in that direction. If you hit the ball with your right foot, swing your left shoulder until you're facing the opposite direction.

  

• Then, continue swinging another 180 degrees, but change your touch on the ball. Use your other foot to perform a reverse roll, pulling the ball back towards you and you twisting and facing the original direction.

  

Step 6. Do the rainbow

The rainbow is striking, inspiring, and almost useless in real-world play. Still, it's a cool ability to learn and practice your touch. Who knows in the future it might become a trend?

• To do the rainbow, step with the heel of your dominant foot on the front of the ball and use the inside of your other foot to trap the ball against the back of your foot. Use the heel of your dominant foot to flick the ball up and forward, preferably directly in front of you.

  

• Practice the movement at rest, and then do it on a relaxed forward dribble. If you can do that with speed on the game you will be a great dribbler.

  

Step 7. Try rabona

Rabona is a one-footed rainbow-like move and step combination, and is usually a bit of a cut that is used as part of freestyle dribbling performances and is occasionally worn in play.

• To perform the rabona, step with your non-dominant foot with the ball toward your dominant side, and use the inside of your dominant foot to make a small, short stab shot and in the opposite direction, back toward your non-dominant side.

  

Step 8. Make a trick pass by keeping your head up the whole time

One of the best ways to maintain a defensive balance is to make clever passing moves. Keep dribbling with your head held high at all times to keep track where your opponent is making room on the court and attack the defense by finding one direction and making sharp passes towards a free teammate in the opposite direction. Make a pass without looking enough and you'll be the Steve Nash of the football world.

Method 2 of 2: Free Kick Trick

Step 1. Kick the knuckle ball

Mark the ball valve, where the pump hole is, point it towards you. Stack the grass so the ball is as high and soft as possible. Make a few moves to lay back, and kick the ball forward, aiming for the nipple, as flat as possible. Use the uppers of your shoes and don't include English or spin on the ball.

• Kick it right, the hard ball will move slightly as if through the air, not spinning, but swooping up and down randomly. If you can get it over the posse, it will be very difficult for the goalkeeper to tackle, and can even slip out of hand suddenly. It is almost always physical attack.

  

Step 2. Don't kick it

If you're at shooting range, everyone will think you're going to kick to score. Instead, try and spin it around the opposing defender for more chances of assisting a goal, or bounce it lightly past the opposing defender for a header opportunity. Or even make sharp passes to random friends. Play with the ball instead of trying to kick it like Beckham.

Step 3. Kick under the defense

Most of the time, defenders who form a free-kick defensive wall will jump automatically when the ball is kicked. This usually happens if you are close to the goal and have already kicked several times towards the goal before, try to do that. One trick is to aim as low as possible, to aim the ball under the posse, hoping to get under the defenders to break down the defense and let our comrades kick it.

Step 4. Make a short pass around the opponent's defense for a kick

Look for passes in space near the defense and let friends run towards the ball rather than trying to receive them in the air. Use free angles from the defense to make surprising passes, rather than trying to use force to kick the ball into the net.

Step 5. Coordinate the crowd with teammates

You can sometimes judge the opponent's defensive form, and even make the opposing goalkeeper jump into position at the wrong time, by arranging between two and four friends to make a fake free kick, run in the agreed direction with the ball, but jump over it and run to pass if need. Once they are clustered in the goal, take the cross over the defense as your teammates run towards the ball.

• Alternatively, you can have your team make a short pass to you, where you can cross the ball, kick it, or pass from a new angle to get the ball back in play.

  

Step 6. Avoid embarrassing acts

Diving is acting. The movement of the football is so fast that it is almost impossible for the referee to see it all, meaning a direct foul from your opponent may go unnoticed. Goalkeepers can't be anywhere. To make sure that little touches and elbows are noticed, then, you have to show them like you're Brad Pitt receiving an Oscar.

• Lie on the ground, howl in pain. Grab your ankle or jaw, or whatever part your opponent hits, like it's broken. Roll on the ground, a look of pain and depression on your face. Make it as bad as possible.

  

• Keep holding that position until you hear the whistle. When your team approaches, or your opponent starts to complain that you're faking it, fight the urge to mess up the play. You are in pain. Maybe serious injury. Hold on until a foul is declared and you can bounce back.

  

Step 7. Fall when someone violently lunges at you

The best time to show pain is when you have the ball and the defense is getting tougher. Even if they get the ball cleanly, throw your foot back as if they tackled you that's the best time to pretend.

• Let the impact of your opponent's lunge force affect the direction you throw your foot. It's always better if the other players run really fast, so the gimmicks are invisible. You have to make sure that your opponent moves really fast, so when you throw your feet it looks more real.

  

• Kick your foot in the direction your opponent is running. So if you're both running towards each other, kick your legs back. If you run parallel, your feet should be in front of you.

  

Step 8. Jump into the air for a challenge and fake an elbow

If you both jump towards the ball at the same time, your elbows will move freely. Even if one doesn't hit you, fall down and grab your jaw, your eyes, or your teeth as if you've just been poked.

Step 9. Try and dive while you are in the box

The best place on the field to dive is when you are in position and you cross into the opponent's penalty box. If you're carrying the ball alone and it's hard to defend, make a show of pretending you're hurt. All fouls when you carry the ball in the penalty box will result in a penalty kick for your team, which is more likely.

• Don't fall if the attack chance is good. If your team is attacking and free to move, don't fall so you can try and get a penalty kick. Make passes and score clean goals.

  

Step 10. Dive on the defensive only when you have support

If you're playing defensive and losing, the best way to stop the game and give your team a chance to catch up is to pretend you're hurt. Act as if your opponent stole the ball by kicking your ankle, rather than getting the ball clean. The whistle will sound, effectively stopping the game and giving your team a chance to catch up.

• It's best to do this if you have defensive support, and other team members can cover if your acting doesn't fool the referee. You don't want to end up falling to the ground and groaning when your opponent scores a goal and the referee ignores you.

  

• If you don't have support, it might be a good idea to make a foul on another player to stop the game. If that looks a bit scary, you can stop playing and give a free kick, but take the possibility of a quick goal.
