Dribble Like Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is considered one of the best football/soccer players of this generation. He plays for Real Madrid and the Portugal national team. Cristiano is a great dribbler, and dribbling is a huge part of becoming a good football/soccer player. Ronaldo has won several titles in European football/soccer, including the Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup. If you want to play like him, start out with the first part below.

Steps

Improving Your Speed

  1. Increase your speed. To dribble like Cristiano Ronaldo, you need to be very fast. To improve on your speed, do some sprinting every day. More importantly, do stretches before a game or a run. You need stamina, so go for a jog around a field.
  2. Run through speed ladders and cones, along with sprints to develop speed and agility.
  3. Learn how to dribble. Before you get into flicks feints and step overs, train until you can dribble very fast between cones, keeping the ball under tight control and close to you all the time. Perfect the basics before you try to play like Ronaldo.

Learning Special Moves

  1. Learn how to do the step over/scissors move. This is done by swinging your foot around the ball and doing a body feint in the same time to send the defenders the wrong way.
  2. Learn how to do the Ronaldo chop. This is done by jumping with one foot and in the same time using the inside of your other foot to go the other way. I prefer jumping with my left foot and using the inside of my right foot to go the other way.
  3. Be able to cross the ball in the box. Use your speed and tricks to beat the full-back and whip the ball into the box!

Increasing Your Control

  1. Develop good close control. When you dribble, don't hit the ball 5 meters away from you because you will get tackled and teammates might even think it's a pass. Keep the ball close to you, like if it was glued to your feet! Dribbling around the house will help the moves become second nature.

Beating A Defender

  1. Don't get too close to the defender. If you're too close, the defender can easily swipe the ball away from you. Try to get the ball between the legs of the defender.
  2. Don't do a move too far away from a defender. If you're too far away, the defender will not get off-balanced and can still approach you.
  3. Perform moves such as the "Ronaldo Chop" or "Step-Overs" at speed. Do them approximately 3 feet away from a defender.

Tips
