Toughest football skills to master

Football is a simple yet technical game. There are probably hundreds of techniques and skills you can learn to be an effective footballer. Find out some of the toughest football skills to master.

The Elastico

Often used by Ronaldinho, the elastico or also known as flip-flap involves close control and agility. You need to be able to change directions twice while running with the ball within seconds. Even though your opponents might be tricked, you still need to make sure you don’t lose control of the ball!

The Hollywood Pass

Hollywood Pass is basically a skill to pass the ball at a ferocious speed and having it land at the feet of your teammate. You need to have great vision, composure and accuracy in order to pull off this skill. Steven Gerrard, Paul Pogba and Toni Kroos are some of the big names that are able to do this trick.

Building a wall

This is an important skill to learn with your teammates. What makes it harder is the fact that you need to jump in sync and stay together. Maybe the free-kick is done by someone that is super good at it but having a half-decent wall will go some way.

1v1

This skill is a useful one for wide players. They must be able to beat their opponent down the wing and still have enough time to cut inside, to shoot, to square the ball, or to get to the end line to deliver a cross for the forwards to attack.
