How to Do Fake Shot and Why It Matters in Football Training
Fake Shot is a classic dribbling trick where the player shapes to shoot or pass but instead pushes the ball forward to continue dribbling. This move makes defenders or goalkeepers commit early, creating space to attack. Practicing the Fake Shot sharpens body feints, improves timing, and adds a valuable deceptive tool to your attacking game.
