2. Not knowing how to say no.
3. Not trying.
4. Not taking responsibilities.
5. Can't see the big picture.

Im someone who doesnt do these things good but after this im going to do it better. Also i have only played for like 1-2 years and my teammates have played like 5-7 years even if im still much better than them. The only bad thing with my is my anger issues and my physical, i need to work on my physical. Im doing 40-70+ pushups a day and im also playing football every day for 2+ hours.

tysm. ive realised that i dont have any of these traits, so im gonna work hard and hopefully make it pro.

I have a teammate that thinks he is better then everyone because her can do skill moves but when it comes to defending a body feint makes him fall to the ground

[russellramsuchit]

I used to be almost destined to go pro in football. I was in semi-pro and I want to address to people to not make the same mistakes that ive had that got me injured during my timel Dont prioritize skill moves, if you wanna get past defenders just do a feint. You can use skill moves dont get me wrong but dont do like 1p skill moves on every defender. Its an easy way to get yourself injured. Priotize on passing and trying to progress on the field.

[Righthdhsgsvvvs]

i always tell my friends stop doing flashy skill moves and do effective body feints my friends do like 3 skill moves and lose the ball

[AnkushBukkaraya]

I practice 2 hours per day 7 days a week and always eat healthy and make sure to never miss a training session. Many people started to notice how I started to improve a whole bunch and even coaches from clubs noticed. I hope one day I could become like messi. These tips also helped sooo much

[julianasismoncooley]

My situation is a little different, I’m a CDM/CM, yet I have 4 star skills, but what makes me different is that when I use my skills I actually get past them

[fmifootball]

tysm greatly appreciated mainly no.3 was the i struggled on

[OGFNDUO]

thx alot the part of not trying really helped me out as i stress to much when i receive the ball and end up losing it also that skills dont matter thx i learned alot

[AnkushBukkaraya]

With these tips this video helped me become the best player on my team and has me motivated to becoming one of the best pro players there could be. Thank you

[doge]

An addon to the first tip, my ex coach always said "You can probaly beat the first player maybe the second player but never the third unless ur messi"

[adsanm]

how do i upgrade my fundamentals what are a couple really effective drills in strengthening your fundamentals

[futsalboy]

The third one is so underrated. A wise man once said “You can’t win the lottery without buying a ticket”

[Xedit]

Yea it makes sense because Ronaldo in 2005 was all about flair and tricks that didn't really help him even though it was cool to watch he had to switch up his game in 2008 to efficient Chops And Stepover not that many Rabona Not that Many different skill combination he did stepover and chops and eyes on the Target maybe thats why he won the balendor Me who does skills and loves skills any time i try basic stuff it gets boring but i see Now that you have to be more effective than flashy

[MLgndeditz]

Thank you so much after watching this video I got the inspiration to do better❤❤

[andrewwalzer]

Very good video! Number 1 helped me especially I'm always trying to do too much lmao.

[xystzCC]

thank you i actually learned from this

[Ryken_BS]

My friend that used to be on my soccer team fully fulfills the first one, he has so many flair moves but loses the ball instantly because he’s built like a twig and has negative stamina 😂

[legendarycuberoffical]

The first one is really true my best friend keeps doing 10 SKILL MOVES TO BEAT A DEFENDER and loses the ball
