I think knowing where to play isn‘t the problem. The problem is being able to play where you would have wanted in time. Quick thinking and having the vision is the most important thing.
Great video man. I also think you should have noted how even sometimes the pros at the highest level make mistakes, and that sometimes you might be able to predict a better play than what they end up executing 👌🏽
Agreed. We also have the luxury of pausing and talking ourselves through a scenario. Granted, we’re doing it to learn but the pros don’t get to pause and look around at the video! Haha “must be nice!”
I watch Busquets. That has always been my position. What I started doing watching his videos and practicing my turns, one touch, positioning. The wall helped me a lot on my touch.
You´re giving me so many opportunities to sound like I know what I`m talking about when I talk to my 9 year old daughter about football. Thanks for that!
thanks for the great video! I was trying to find a way to improve myself on the pitch but i could never really see myself getting better at some point but this video gave me the exact tip I was looking for:)
Hey Matt great video! Do u have any advice for players who are trying to get more physical and stronger but also don't want to get too big that it negatively impacts their athletic performance.
Adding muscle and size is such a slow process, you don’t need to worry about getting too big too fast. Add muscle, add strength, add size and you’ll slowly get to your ideal weight. If you come to find you’re starting to get too big then just go on a cut and lose the weight.
Very good advice to analyse the videos and try to guess the decisions-making of the professionals. Very rare, though, the positional references measured in yards! 🤣
Should you try to improve your speed of “decision making” as you get better at this.(how long you pause each time) or is it better to really analyze every situation really deeply (like you did)
Waiting to see you vs Los Dos! Greetings from SoCal! We tune in every weekend to see your matches! Hope everything is alright that last red was way harsh!
I've been moved to striker/left-wing despite playing keeper only for a few years and I'm struggling. I'm a men's league and have only been playing football for a few years, my ability and skill with the ball is pretty sub-par. My positioning is alright but my vision is great. I can get into good space and I know when and where to get the ball from that, but I don't have the skill to produce anything from it which is really frustrating. I also find it hard to focus in games and my general awareness of the ball is limited so I resort to lashing out at the ball and just try to just focus on kicking the ball instead of taking a touch and looking around. Do you have any advice?
Dribble around cones. I started playing as an adult and that is the one thing I started doing too late. It mainly gives you confidence with the ball, but that is huge. Matt’s 3x3 program is great for tight space work.
Work on your feet try to get fast feet by doing drills there are tons i know and could even send you the link if you want so... Once you master it you will be a dancer on the ball.
Just found this channel this is the first video but im amazed. I'll definetely try it out although im a goalkeeper so its kinda different but on 1-on-1s for example it could be useful. I thought of that same thing just in live matches but ofc you cant pause thats the only difference
W vid thank you Matthew I love these type of videos, could you please make a video on how to beat defenders 1v1 how to defend 1v1 and how to play quick and how to make combinations with teammates like one twos
Hey Matt, gr8 vid as always. Can u like do a vid on how to condition, train, and perform at the highest physical levels with high heat and humidity? I hears it's pretty brutal there in the summer in South Carolina. 🥵
Watch and feel 'The Rhythm of the Game' - time to defend, time to pressure, hold and probe, pass and tire them, go for Goals. As a Centre Back I once watched the Opposition attack and knew it wasn't time in 'The Rhythm of the Game' for them to score so I just stood and watched them from the edge of the Area as they shot, shot again, hit the post, and knocked the ball wide. My Coach was furious with me - but I knew!!
Hey Matt, gr8 video! Do u have any advice for players like me who are playing in the high school/academy level & wanna get to the top level how to make contacts which are going to help us get contracts in future & how to identify that this person can help me in long run?
Hey, awesome video very informative and helpful! Off topic but what do you think about the Colorado Springs Switchbacks because I was at that game when the Battery played them and I’d like to know your thoughts on them?
My last club coach helped me improve my football iq the most. He used to coach in Bayern's academy. He faced Erik Tan Hag as a manager in Germany once.
Do you have any tips for forwards because some players have excellent footwork like neymar,hazard.Beating more defenders rather than passing ball to a teammate.I can't do many moves that neymar ... does.
you don't have to make moves like Neymar. The most important thing is to be effective with the ball. Look at a full match when Neymar or Hazard plays. You will see that they don't do skill all the time, just sometimes.
Honestly, in my opinion, sometimes I think it’s better to also analyze players who have similar characteristics as you or even “average” forwards in the prem, because it’s a more realistic look as to the decisions and movements that you’ll make in a game. For example, if you aren’t fast, I don’t think you should focus your analysis on mbappe because he can just sprint by players. Focus on forwards that have more of an average pace and learn how they play without being blazingly fast.
Sometimes Neymar is incredible and succeeds at doing things that nobody expects, but a LOT of times he just gives the ball away or disrupts the rhythm of his team by holding it too long.
He Matt, My son and I have watched your videos for some time..thank you for sharing. I have a question can you talk about the process of getting on and playing on a semi pro team in the USA

Playing FIFA with pro camera too
🤣
No joke was just thinking about this an hour prior to you putting this vid out. Thank you very much Matt I definitely needed this!
Love how you make these analyze videos, it’s simple but helps and improves your game, great vid 🙌

Yes!!! Every time i train legs i cant run for 3 days. Even when i train lightly

What would be like the ideal weight for a 188 cm tall CB/midfielder? Is 75 kg too low?
@@BecomeElite Thank you!

Yeah bro same 😎😎🔥🔥
You dont know how much you helped bro thanks
I play anything forward, mostly LW or CAM, but this guy made my RB IQ so good because of his analysis on players that play RB or himself lol

Thanks alot
I learned a lot from your videos
Great tips thanks Matt. Always great content. well done.
Congrats on half a million Matt, banger TH-cam video as always!
Bro I love your content, wish u more wisdom and knowledge to do more high value contents.
Congrats on 500k subs you deserve it so much
Bro good advice don't stop
Hey Matt. I love your contents. Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Great stuff! I love predicting passes when I'm watching football. .
congrats on 500k matt personally I think it should be double but it'll come soon enough
1:23 that's exactly what I do with Thomas Muller
I enjoyed doing this along side Matt. Next step would be to try to predict the play faster and faster….just like the pros in a live situation?
This is very good because as soon as you get the ball you make the best decision since you are learning from the best.
Amazing video Matt, probably the most useful video about Football IQ on the internet
Congrats on 500k! You deserve it
Matt is spitting facts 💯🔥
Just found this channel this is the first video but im amazed. I'll definetely try it out although im a goalkeeper so its kinda different but on 1-on-1s for example it could be useful.

Your videos are amazing thank you so much you really helped me improve a lot
The thumbnail is sick
I really enjoy your every video... If TH-cam allow only one channel to watch then probably I'll choose you, Thank you so much sir,
Loved your thumbnail 🔥
Any advice on how to get better at decision making? and making said decisions faster?
Excellent analysis

great video dude
Wow, 500k subs. Great video Matt

I waiting for your reaction on pavard goal. Anyhow congrats on 500 k 🎉🎈
Same! How do you pick this game and this player and not at least show it?? Great video though.
This is unreal advice ! This starts asap for me 😃
would you consider becoming a coach one day?
he's gonna be my assistant coach
Well done! Keep it up 👍🏿
Nice insight. Pausing and predicting is not something i thought of before. Normally I'd just watch and analyse as i go (implicit learning, i guess)
great video as always matt
Great video. Thank you ❤
Congrats on 500 thousand
Very valuable advice!
Thanks Matt for the tips!
Great video as usual.Thanks
Thank you for this video ❤
Wsp matt, love your vids. Can you make a video explaining how subs and reserves work at the pro level?
This is such a simple way to increase IQ. Thanks bro. I’m going to go watch Busquets
This is like a Gold standard tutorial video ... and always soothing to hear an American call the beautiful game Football..😅
Well done for 500k Matt. I loved this video and am just about to go try it for myself.
As a winger which match is the best for me to analyse any ideas 💡 please

Just did a tactical session likke this! thanks for advise
Really helpful video❤❤
Doing Great Matt
i use instincts normally but im going to try developing this
I think i'll start analyzing matches like you
I love how this can be applied to other things like esports such as valorant, it makes so much sense but not many people really do this
be a real man
I truely love your content ❤❤❤
thanks for the vid bro
Great video man
this helped me so much thank you
thank you for the video dude
Nice, this also works for vision i think because you have to think fast

Where is he coaching? I mean which team?
What advice did he give you?

@@monsieurLDN he just showed me how to understand the game as a midfielder. Not anything specific
Hey . If we do like you told. It will be just when we have the ball right . What about off the ball movement?
Video of the week for me
Hey Matt have u ever thought of playing d1 in Mexico
you are amazing! 👍
Dang camera quality looks great
I do this alot for college games but I normaly don’t pause cus it’s before bed or sum and I’m tired

Thank so much I’m a great skills but need to improve my QI

Sometimes Neymar is incredible and succeeds at doing things that nobody expects, but a LOT of times he just gives the ball away or disrupts the rhythm of his team by holding it too long.
I sit to analyze and then forget to analyze and starts toenjoy the game
I think it helps to watch old games
Ayeee happy 500k subs I remember when he had like 15k 😂😭
Hi Matt I don’t know if you’ll reply but wanted to ask what exercises are useless to do in the gym for example like neck shrugs
I needed this
He Matt,

If you listen to his podcast Against All Odds, he often has other pros on who talk about their journey. Extremely helpful & motivational.
