Improving Gameplay with Sprint Techniques

The absolute best advice I can give you when it comes to build-up

is to release the goddamn

sprint button.

There are some areas on the pitch that you're generally not supposed

to sprint in,

and I'm just gonna try to paint it exactly where.

Like, in this zone

right here

from end to end,

you're not supposed to sprint within this area.

It's just not logical to sprint. And if you just check all the pro

players, pay attention to how little they sprint.

They only sprint, for the most part, down the wings.

Down the wings, you can sprint, and that is if and only if you have no one in

front of you. If you just release the sprint button in

your

build-up, in your gameplay,

just look how your gameplay will change.

The more you keep close control and just move forward with the left stick

and technical sprint. So you-- when you wanna move forward from the

opponent, when you're, let's say, an opponent is pressing you, you do some

left stick dribbling, you turn away from him, then if you

wanna boost into space, you use the technical sprint.

You don't use sprint. You use sprint only

when you have no one in front of

you. And even if you think about it,

if you're inside the box here,

is it truly possible, guys, to use sprint here?

To use sprint inside the box?

Inside the, your opponent's box. It's not logical.

It's not logical to sprint.

You give yourself the best possible chance of scoring

if you're just left stick dribbling and moving purely, no input, no other

inputs.

Even when it comes to defending, inside your box, you're not supposed to

sprint, though. And when it comes to defending,

always mimic

your opponent's movement. If your opponent is sprinting, you sprint.

If your opponent is left stick moving, you just jockey.

It's that simple, but just follow this step
