@the_jwl: Want to improve as a holding midfielder? Here are 3 key skills that will help you dominate: • 1. Receiving under pressure: Start deep, check your shoulders, protect the ball with your body and arm. Play back if you can’t turn. • 2. Escape pressure: Use a variety of turns—Zidane, hook turn, L-turn—to wriggle out and face forward. • 3. Range of passing: Develop short, sharp passes and longer switches to full-backs and wingers to keep attacks flowing. #HoldingMidfielder #CDM #SoccerIQ #BallRetention #FootballTips
