A rolled ball is one of the most effective (and even the most effective) shots known to both players and spectators. In skillful legs (yes, that's right), this is a weapon against which the goalkeeper is very difficult to resist. There are cases when the goalkeeper “took” a twisted ball and literally flew into the goal with him (with a strong blow from close range) or caught him and ... missed. As a result, the next goal was registered on the scoreboard. The purpose of the article is to explain to beginners how to beat a twisted ball.
Before starting to practice, I would like to focus on one more advantage of this specific blow. The fact is that a twisted ball is dangerous not only for the goalkeeper. Having learned this strike, you can easily pass through the field, including through the defender. A twisted ball is great for penalty kicks and corner kicks.
Let's start with the theory
The ball trajectory depends on the accuracy of the hit. Here you also need to aim.
The ball hit on the right will fly to the left. Accordingly, the rotation will be the same.
The ball hit on the left will fly to the right. Accordingly, it will rotate the same way (to the right).
A ball twisted by the inside of the foot will turn out well twisted and accurate. Are other options possible? Of course. However, the ball will be less twisted. And it’s much more difficult for many novice players to master these attacks.
Now practice
We start by taking off and defining a support leg. Suppose you are going to hit a twisted ball with the inside of your foot. To do this, take the run on the right, if it is convenient to beat with the left foot, and vice versa. It is necessary to "estimate" the acceleration angle. Ideally, 45 ° (relative to the ball). You can take a direct take-off run, however, a good spin the ball will not work. Impact accuracy will also decrease. Raise the force of rotation can increase the angle or distance.
At the beginning of training, do not put your supporting leg at a great distance. However, too close a distance is very undesirable. During the strike you should feel balance, support.
How to beat a twisted ball? The blow should fall on its lower part. At the very moment of impact, the foot is held in the far upper part of the ball. Thus he twists. It all takes a split second. A ball spinning around an axis will cause a casual hit. Pay attention at this moment to the work of your knee - it should follow the blow after, giving additional torsional strength and setting the trajectory.
By the way, a twisted ball is very similar to a pass with a cheek - the same area of the foot is used, however, the leg turns when it hits. Want to increase accuracy? Immediately after the strike, turn your chest and shoulders onto the target.
Tune in to long and hard training. This is a pretty difficult hit. Start practicing it by defining a goal. In this quality, any clearly visible object is suitable: cone, bottle, ordinary stone. The main thing - do not chase the ball across the field just like that. The goal will allow you to learn how to calculate the accuracy and strength of the impact. Start with 10 meters, and you will determine the time for increasing the distance yourself. Agree, hitting the target (and even seeing the results) is much more convenient and enjoyable than spinning the ball nowhere. Make the ball spin first. You will work out the strength and accuracy of your strike later.
