Receiving with Inside - Letting the Ball Run Through the Legs

Technique and body position: - Receiving and continuing the ball behind the standing leg through the legs. This receiving technique combines receiving with an immediate change of direction to the side. - This technique uses the inside of the foot. It is done with one ball touch and is one fluid movement. The foot moves toward the incoming ball. Just before contact, the foot is pulled back (slightly slower than the ball speed). The ball can then be received gently and simultaneously guided with the inside or redirected to the side. - The upper body is upright and the legs are bent. - Depending on pass and touch accuracy, the player makes a turn between 90 and 180 degrees. - The ball redirection must not be too firm.
