Would you like to learn how to become the indispensable wing midfielder (winger) for your football team? In this quick guide, you will find some tips for improving your playing skills to help you level up.

Steps

Part 1 of 4: Working on Speed

1. 1 Improve your speed skills. The fundamental physical quality of a good winger is speed. Excellent speed allows you to explode the game on the flanks, like Ronaldo and Messi. The following steps provide some tips for learning how to run faster.
2. 2 You will need a friend to hold your shoulders.
3. 3 Try your best to run away from him, while he uses his hands on your shoulders to prevent it.
4. 4 After about 10 seconds of doing the exercise, ask your friend to release you and jump to the side. As a result, you will run forward at maximum speed.
5. 5 Repeat this exercise at least 10 times a week. After about a month, you will be able to notice an increase in speed. This exercise is widely used by athletes to increase speed.

Part 2 of 4: Increasing Stamina

1. 1 Work on your stamina. Endurance is another key physical quality that a winger must possess. Increased endurance is achieved through long-distance swimming and cross-country cross-country skiing. The former expands the volume of the lungs, while the latter increases the number of red blood cells (erythrocytes) produced in the body. This type of workout increases the amount of oxygen that you can take into your lungs as you inhale.

Part 3 of 4: Dribbling and Technique

1. 1 Improve ball control. Every self-respecting winger should have good technique and dribbling skills. How to train quality data? Very simple: follow the advice in this section.
2. 2 Practice dribbling in a confined space every day. Your own home can be a great place to exercise. But please don't break anything or injure anyone.
3. 3 Make a lot of turns, understand how your legs move. The more you train, the better your ball control becomes. In turn, good ball control is very important for dribbling.
4. 4 Run. Take a shuttle run every week. Time yourself and try to break your record every time.
   • In addition, some of the tricks can be learned from video tutorials on YouTube.
5. 5 Work on your "weak" leg. You must be able to dribble, pass and shoot equally with both feet. Many of the best wing midfielders have excellent right and left foot control and are therefore so dangerous for the opposing team. Learn to control the ball, pass and shoot on goal with the non-dominant foot. It may be awkward at first, but over time you get used to it and it will start to work out by itself.

Part 4 of 4: Positioning

1. 1 When your team is in possession of the ball, look for free zones on the field. Move to free zones and do it as often as possible.
2. 2 Try to read the game and find free zones outside of the offside. You should be there at the right time.
3. 3 Ask for a transfer to you in a free zone. If you ended up on the flank in this way, then you can make a canopy or move to the center, and then hit or pass.

Tips

• Exercise for several hours every day and you will see significant progress.
• To increase control over the ball, do the stance stroke exercise.
• Work with the ball every day. This is the key to becoming a good footballer. The more time you spend with the ball, the more professional you will be.
