1v1 Midfielder Skills | 3 Skills to Dominate the Midfield Like INIESTA

- I watched Iniesta play Football for 100 hours, and here’s what I learned about his 1v1 abilities.
In this video I tried for a more documentary styled look (kinda) to go with my tutorial.
What stood out for me when watching Iniesta was not the incredible ways he dissected a defensive barricade with a singular pass, nor the extreme vision to always know where the space is - but something central midfielders barely demonstrate in todays game, and that is a proficiency in 1v1 skills.
But not just any 1v1 skills, Lateral Movement Specific 1v1 Skills. Let me explain...

Hi Savvy, insightful analysis and documentary style!!
May I make 2 suggestions?
S1. May be try to dress in all white (easy to find and to the eyes), and shoot against a dark background on a sunny day?
Firstly, the color will reflect more light, which means your body will absorb less heat. You'll sweat less, and enjoy your creative work more :)
Secondly, the color contrast is going to make the contour line of your body and movements pop a lot more.
S2. Your set up is so professional (perfectly-maintained pitch and cones) that it might intimidate those who misbelieve the only way to improve one's skills is by breaking one's bank.
Thank you so much and I can't wait for your next uploads!!
Hi Kit-Shing,
This is some golden information right here - I have only just started to learn how to edit/film etc on the go and having people within this small (but awesome) community is what is really special about being a CZcamsr.
Thank you so much for your support my man and I’ll note down your suggestions for safekeeping when I’m filming next 👌❤️
@@SavvyFutbol You are welcome, Savvy! :) I highly suggest a Japanese CZcamsr, Masakazu Okabe, to you. His channel is called "Dribble Designer Okabe". Okabe emphasizes training (timing, pacing, footwork) with a metronome. What I admire about Okabe's channel besides football is, his subtitle does not rely on some random auto-translation. Therefore, Okabe has total control of presenting his "Okabe's Dribbling Philosophy" as a very user-friendly learning service and product globally!! My learning struggle of non-Cantonese tutorial channels makes me relates to the hearing disabled I played with in some pickup games. Please check his link below out and let me know what do you think Okabe's marketing approach. Cheers Savvy! :)

@@kit-shingtse1222 thanks for your recommendation my friend - I will have a look at his channel now :D
The thing about Iniesta that’s most impressive is he knows when to do these and when to just pass and play simple. Some people will do these and get tackled because they pick the wrong moment. He always does everything to perfection.
He's a genius 🤩 but remember ~
"The hardest way to play is the simple way"
This is pure High quality dude. Love Your Content ❤
Thank you for your support Panna 👑
Love your work too bro ✊
I’ve noticed that this video has gained some traction over the past few days - I haven’t posted a video in a while like this as I have been in iso with covid. Nevertheless I’m currently working on a “tips” video when it comes to defending. Stay tuned guys 💪
Keep them coming 🙌🏼

@@SavvyFutbol you're missing an "a"
AMAZING! Your editing is getting better and better! :D
Thanks dude, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Love love your content! I had a chance to watch Iniesta playing in Japan, every single time he holds a ball, the entire stadium calms down as if everyone doesn’t want to miss very moment of his brilliance.
Thanks po yo, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. You're so lucky to have watched him play. I can just imagine my eyes glowing as he touches the ball during the stadiums' silence. He truly is something else when it comes to carrying the ball.
Your japan will kill his talent
Love the relaxing music during the skill tutorials - something different than the upbeat music during sports videos 🙌🙌🙌
Hey Luke,
Thanks for your support ❤️
loved the analysis, the tutorial for the skills itself could be enhanced visually of course, keep up!
Hey @farmeroffiziell, thanks for your feedback. Yes, I’m working on it with the next video I’m doing, I hope the visuals look a lot better
I’m glad you enjoyed the analysis as well 🙌
Love the video, thank you for making these as they are very helpful!
Thanks Tiktak - love your Pokémon vids too ✊
This is good. Also Coutinho and especially prime Coutinho is a worth player to analyse his playstyle. I remember adopting many midfielders playstyle and training hard to make myself a very own unique playstyle before going to a friendly tour. It didn't work out for me there and all of these training I did I thought I needed to do more. But playing against better technical and game knowledge opponents really gave me experience. When I came back to home, out of nowhere I was playing like a pro. Having the unconscious mind knowledge of when to dribble and pass, I was a complete different player. At that time I realised that experience is key. Adding experience with hard work will make you better player. Before the tour I didn't knew the importance of experience, after coming back, my body started doing the best things out of nowhere.
This is 100% true - I don’t know if you know about the “Zone of Proximal Development” - but what it means is that in order to better yourself, you have to be doing something that is harder than what you were previously doing.
So going out and playing against more tough/fast/intense/technical/tactical players is only going to make you more tough/fast/intense/technical/tactically better.
Thanks for your comment bro, I’m glad you enjoyed the content 🤩
Simple and effective skills 👌
The best way to play 👌
"run-across" feints (shielding opponent or forward facing as well) fits well in to this category as well. Really enjoyed the video - well done.
Hi Leland, thank you for your input - you are absolutely right 👌 and I’m glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for the support 🤩❤️
This is amazing. Haven't seen anything of this quality in a while. Good work man!
Hey bro! Thank you so much man - I am conjuring up something bigger than this one🤩 make sure you stay tuned 🙌
Basic moves, but with the right practice, timing and decision making these moves will absolutely shred any defender... Iniesta Forever!
Yep - people don’t seem to understand this as well….it’s so much harder than just talking about these simple moves 💯
Quality content, keep up the good work mate!

Good!!!!
❤️❤️❤️ my friend thank you
Beautiful analysis of one of the greatest if not the greatest attacking mid fielders of all time. Would love to see a Messi or Xavi analysis
Thank you for your support Reeshav 🤝
Did someone say Messi? Soon my friend, soon 😉
@@SavvyFutbol awesome! Looking forward to it!
You have a video where his teamate at that time Etoo told that Iniesta was the best player of Barcelona and it was the best team that we ever saw-players like Ronaldinho, Messi, Xavi, etc.... played with him.
That’s exactly right my friend - he was a quiet achiever, the backbone of the team with not that many people recognising his talent until later on in his career.
He surely is one of the greatest 🤩
I think most useful skill is to make a sheild or we can say that protect the ball from defender by your body
It is use by Xavi who is MASTER of it !!!..
Yeah mate 100% - having the ball on your safe side is imperative. However, lateral ball skills SHIFT the ball to the safe side away from an incoming tackle.
Man said soccer
😅😅😅
Some kids are saying Neymar is good at dribbling skills. He can’t perform even a single dribble move like Iniesta do against the giant opponents in same pressure situations Imo
Don’t get me wrong - Neymar is a great technical player, and he is probably one of the best dribblers in the game. IMO, he doesn’t match Iniesta one bit - iniestas explosiveness on the ball to perform a skill/dribble is 2nd to none 💪
Amazing video. Iniesta is my favorite player of all time
Hey Puria, thank you so much! Yeah he is one of mine too, an amazing player when on the ball 🤩
@@SavvyFutbol cheers. He has the best off the ball movement I have seen
@@puriatabari7176 yeah he’s one of the most complete players for sure !!!
👍
Thanks for your comment mate
When I play footy I never plan to do skills or moves it all comes naturally to me and I pull moves I never done or thought cud do
Of course if you are under pressure, naturally your instincts will kick in - however this doesn’t take away the fact that ronaldo spent his time after almost every training session (at United) practising simple ball mastery skills like the chop and stepovers
If you watch the motivational story I put up on my channel about how ronaldo would practise the inside outsides (I covered this skill in this video) by dribbling the field 8 times over means that you can never have too much practise
"LA KROKWETA"
I know haha I screwed up 🤣
Can you do one about Eden hazard please
I will my friend 🤝
La croqueta learned from watching Michael Laudrup
Yeah man he was a gun at the La Croqueta
that's the michael laudrup move
Nah it’s the Michael Onyeka move 😉
@@SavvyFutbol 🤣
@@michaelonyeka4456 hahaha
Well no offense but as a barca fan I knew these without watching for 100 hours 🤷
Yeah I wanted to pick one thing about Iniesta - after 100 hours deducted it to three factors, iniestas off the ball movements, his passing or his lateral movements.
Thought lateral movements were the most interesting and it’s not very common for a midfielder to have a high take on ability
Iniesta got his passing game from Ronaldinho .
All the passing game that Iniesta is doing it's straight up wat Ronaldinho used to do going all the way back from the 2002wc.
Those twist n turns those long passes from midfield those poke passes they r all a copy from the master Ronaldinho
Wouldn’t say it’s a copy but you’re definitely correct that Ronaldinho revolutionised 1on1 take ons
@@SavvyFutbol not just the one on one take ones Ronaldinho revolutionized the passing game
Croqueta is pronounced like CRO-KE-TA
Is that how the Spanish say it as well? If it is, I apologise and I’ll try make sure I don’t mispronounce important skills again 😄
Do one for Messi and you won’t have to do this for any cf cmf amf and you’ll go viral
Abi, thank you so much for your comment and suggestion 🙌🤩
I am currently creating a doco styled-video on Ronaldo but am definitely looking into doing one with Messi for sure 😉
@@SavvyFutbol do it with the goat too ❤️
@@abi8331 I will
Wow
Wow
How about that zidane skill
Which skill are you talking about? I'll see if I can do a video on it if I can :D
@@SavvyFutbol the zidane step over
Quit effective for midfielders because they will thing your going the other way
@@jeremiahudoh8743 you talking about the double step over yeah? An excellent skill to utilise, particularly on the wing 👌
@@SavvyFutbol oh okay
De bruyne isn't really the best when it comes to technical ability, he doesn't unlock new areas of space through his dribbling but thru his passing instead
False
@@kevinkotak7581 not my fault you don't know football
@@mehdirihane9827 that's just plain stupid lmao.
If you've actually watched kdb play and you say he can't dribble then you just prove that you don't know ball
@@kevinkotak7581 Read properly lol, never said he can't dribble. He's world-class ofc he CAN dribble but it's not his main attribute and quality and its not thru dribbling that he unlocks space.
@@mehdirihane9827 my bad, misunderstood your comment
Love ur vid help me at my trial
Hey Alexander - awesome to hear man!!!! Let me know if you got in?

Hey AVIK - thank you so much! Yes I have to admit, modric is definitely another great 🙌
Modric is what?
@@ssroudyss9432 better
@@ssroudyss9432 just said modric is a great player as well 👍
He uses the L drag also
Hey Alrico - yes he does! I was considering talking about the L-Drag but just wanted it to keep it closed to 3 skills - like I said in the video, there are heaps of lateral skills players an use but I just outlined the common ones iniesta used 👍
Thanks for your comment as well 🙌
@@SavvyFutbol do more of xavi and verrati if possible
@@alricocardozo6793 I have a few videos already in the works but I will definitely look into it - thanks for your suggestions 👌
do cristiano ronaldo
😉😉😉
Iniesta was tricky but did not dominate the midfield.
Hey mate, thank you for your comment.
I disagree with you there
@@SavvyFutbol do you know what it means to dominate ? Iniesta was not physical and was below average defensively , all attackers would easily pass through him. If someone has to dominate the midfield , he has to be a monster at all aspects related to the midfield, and not just good in progressing attacks. Ruud gullit dominated the midfield, Lothar mathaus, yaya touré ,Zidane, kevin debruyne
@@brokennative1784 hmmm I think the stats say otherwise my man
@@brokennative1784 Lmao how ridiculous, Iniesta is a generational talent and definitely dominated
Your first mistake was making about iniesta hes not even in top 50 midfielders of all timr
Surely he’s in the top 50 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah he is in top 20
bro r u tapped he is top 10 fam just cos he isnt the fastiest or skillfull dont mean he is a baller.
@@tryagain5001 easily
Are u watching the wrong football😅iniesta is easily top 3/5
Yh watch Messi and ronaldo and tell me who is actually better 🤷🏽♂️
Haha who do you think is better 😅
@@SavvyFutbolMessi for sure, u can just tell
@@AP-nn1zl yeah naturally he is - you won’t like my next vid then 🤣🤣🤣
The tutorial is pointless. I mean, it's not because it will improve your control technique (if you practice it on a daily basis for years) but you will not dribble your opponents in the midfield once you've learned these tricks if you couldn't before: it's a matter of timing, prediction and instinct much more than owning technical skills: you don't think, your body does it. You got it or not. And, above all, this is just Iniesta's way, not THE way. There just isn't a single, correct way.
Thank you for your input Paolo,
These skills are foundational skills which are then turned into unopposed dynamic movements (eg, cone weaving). The next step will be to engage in 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3 for practise of these skills, and then to progress them into a game.
Of course all players have their own unique style and ability - this was just a general take on lateral movements as I found them very interesting. After watching Iniesta, and comparing him to other midfielders, there aren’t many midfielders out there who are able to play like iniesta when we purely talk about take on ability.
That is why I covered lateral movements, and the importance for midfielders to have at least a few in their tool kits.
@@SavvyFutbol Yes, these are basically the foundamentals they teach every kid from day one: I ain't saying they are not correct (they are) or you shouldn't have shown them: I just find them somewhat unrelated (or just partially related) to the topic. For example, when talking about dribbling, first thing that comes to my mind is the distance between the foot and the ball, and the ball and the opponent: best dribblers always have glue on their shoes. Nice video anyway, I appreciated it.
@@paolomoretti9291 thank you my man!
Thank you for the feedback - I’ll make sure my next tutorial is a lot more concise and brings more value to you 👍
