Matheus Palhinha back once again and with yet another amazing futsal tutorial. Time and time again you find yourself trying to play against a high-pressure defense and often times it can be very tough. In this video, Matheus presents and demonstrates a quick and effective move to create space in a high-pressure situation. Matheus explains that this is a simple move that requires you to check-in for a pass and as the ball comes, you use the defender's momentum against them & pull the ball in the opposite direction. This pullback is most effective when the defender is marking tightly and there isn't much space to dribble. If done correctly, this move can be very useful in creating space while also isolating the defender from the play.
Here is Matheus showing you how to perform and practice this move, step by step:
Like mentioned in posts before, futsal requires you to use the soles of your feet to control and move the ball. You see that again in this video as Matheus initiates the pullback using the sole of his foot.
With enough practice, this dynamic step over adds an element of flair you can use to hone your craft. The next step is to get a Senda futsal ball available on our website and start practicing this pullback!
