How to Do Fake Turn and Go and Why It Matters in Football Training
Fake Turn and Go is a deceptive dribbling move that tricks the defender into thinking you are turning back, before quickly accelerating in the opposite direction. By shaping your body for a turn and then pushing the ball forward with speed, you create separation and open up attacking lanes. This move is perfect for sudden breaks, counterattacks, and catching defenders off guard.
