Here are the tips:

  1. Build up speed and keep the ball close to your feet.
  2. Know in advance which move(s) you’re going to use.
  3.  Be fluid and execute the move from the optimal distance where you’re close enough to the defender but just not too close that the defender can reach the ball.
  4. Explode after your move. You need to take off!
  5. Keep your body between the defender and the ball.
