Simple move that is easy to learn, but you really need to know how to “sell” it to your opponent.
The main thing I want to emphasize about the Fake Shot is this: Your opponent will only hesitate for a fraction of a second, and you MUST capitalize on that and accelerate to the inside or outside.
It’s also important to make your body language convey the message that you are seriously about to shoot the ball. Leg pulled back. Arm up. Use everything you can to make it look REAL. Otherwise, there’s a good chance the opponent won’t be fooled.
In this video, you’ll see Ben chopping the soccerball to the inside. You can also push the ball to the outside (using the outside part of your foot). This might work to your advantage if you want to take a right-footed shot.
I would only use this 1 on 1 soccer move if you have an opponent directly in front of you. It works well from a stand-still or while your dribbling. Remember – as in most moves, acceleration IMMEDIATELY after the fake is the key.
