UNLOCK AGILITY LIKE FIRMINO!

TIP 1: AGILITY WITH THE BALL Awesome Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino is an expert at twisting and turning his way past any opponent! To own defenders like the Samba king, keep the ball close using your furthest foot from the defender and use your upper body for protection. Also, have soft knees so you can change direction really quickly! TIP 2: 1 V 1 MOVE When the Brazilian magician wants to create space to run, pass or shoot, he takes a diagonal touch away from the direction he wants to move into. This makes the defender move across to block him, before Bobby busts out the Pull Spin move to burn away into the space! Watch out for him doing this in the CL final! THIS DRILL HELPS YOU...

Those types of players who hold the ball up and bring players into the game. They’ll try to pin you back, and obviously you have to be strong to do that.” HEADING KING!
