In 1998, when France won the world cup, Zinedine Zidane had football fans glued to their seats because of his spectacular passing, dribbling, shooting, heading, positioning, agility, technique, skill, ball control and strength.
You like to play football every day but cannot commit making the line of improvement seems almost impossible. But don’t lose heart, you’ll be pleased to hear all footballers have strengths and weaknesses. Zinedine Zidane trained everyday especially on his weaknesses (which became second nature to him).
After your game, ask your coach or team mates to identify your weakness – poor passing, wrong positioning, holding the ball too long and so on. Once you know your weakness start fixing them. For example, if your weakness is ball control juggle the ball 10-30 mins a day. If it’s fatigue, start running 15-30 mins three times a week.
To be a better footballer, fix your weaknesses by spending at least 5 hours a week on improvement. Before long your weakness will become your strength.
