Shadowing Practice: Learn FAST dribbling (like Messi 🐐) - Learn English Speaking with Video

Today, my friends, we have a video about a man named Messi.

Most of you haven't heard of him, but I can assure you, he's pretty good.

Let's go.

Now, most everyone is aware of Messi's feint, and that is not what we're focusing on today.

However, if you cannot do a good feint, the rest of these skills are not going to be for you.

So, in order to do a perfect feint, you have to lean your body to one way, right?

Get your whole entire essence.

Your whole soul should move this way.

The defender moves with you.

And then once you're down here, boom, you immediately push off the other way.

That's the essence of a good feint.

You got to believe it.

In order for us to get to the skills now, we have to tell you that he's not the guy that's going to do all these sort of crazy stepovers,

all this crazy stuff like that Neymar guy or the Arnaldo.

They do that stuff.

Messi doesn't.

To do this first Messi skill, all you've got to do is approach the defender very slow.

One of the best things Lionel Messiah does is approach the player with complete and total hesitation.

Slowly, slow, slow, slow, fast.

And what he did to Skulls, you can also do.

Approach the player slow.

Now, you have to pick up your foot before this croquetta, and you have to know how to do a croquetta.

But as you pick your foot up and put it down, the player, he stops.

The defender stops.

And once he comes to reach in, boom, boom, you croquette out.

Not even going to finish that sentence.

That's how sick that is.

Now, Moosey plays in the MLS.

Skills are good there.

Not sure if he's going to be able to cut it in Europe.

We'll see.

One of the other things that he does is he turns, right?

Now, with your back -to -goal, you always have the option of doing the simple thing.

What Messi's mastered is a way to turn.

He receives this pass, and the bender comes knowing he doesn't want him to turn.

Messi uses that feint like this.

So what you can do when receiving a pass, always make sure to take a little bit of space for you.

Move with the ball.

Once you move with the ball, you throw your feint, and then you turn.

Now, one thing to remember when doing this skill is that when you're doing a feint, you don't have to run way past the ball like Frankie de Jong.

What Moosey does is he does a little bit and then he moves out here, all right?

And that is all you need.

The beauty of this player is that he does the very simple things, excellent, every time.

Now, Lenile Masaya has an excellent nutmeg skill.

The best thing about it is that you can employ this anywhere on the field, whether you're in the middle or on the outside.

Check, William, can you hear us?

I'm getting a little bit worried.

He actually played in Europe, Messi, yeah.

The producers are telling me that he's played somewhere in Europe.

In a club called Barcelona.

But it's not a very big club, so they told me not to worry too much about it.

The point is that when you're on the sideline, the feint is your friend.

I told you, in order to do all these skills, you have to master the feint.

That's the best thing that he has in his arsenal.

To do a nutmeg like this, you would be facing a player, a defender, if he's coming right at you you faint as

if you're going to take off

which is the whole entire basis of all the skills today and once

that player thinks you're going this way he opens up his

legs you pass the ball through exactly he did it well

he did it again again James Milner Milner of England I don't know I'd like to see the footage of

that because I haven't seen it so if he did

that to somebody

and it worked uh i got nothing else to say looks

like a good player that's all i'm that's all i'm saying

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
