Do you notice something different on this backhand shot? Let’s analyse this technique…

Take a look at this backhand shot by Florian Fuchs. Do you see what he does? Instead of walking with the ball in order to find the space between defenders, he decides to move his body to the side. By doing this body shif, he creates his own space, allowing himself to create a “stationary” backhand shot which ends in the goal.

This might be just a small technical detail, but it can be the difference between a succesful shot and a ball stolen by the defence.
