Match Speed

[-William-]

Well I started playing for a better club now in a different league than before I knew it was gonna be harder but the thing that most affects me is the freakin speed of the match, I really dont seem to get use to it

Seems like Im just too used to playing at a slower pace, although Ive only played 2 matches in this new league.

Any tips or anything I can do about this?

Well since all other replies have been i'll try to help you. First of all I reckon you should take up some stuff like plyometrics to improve speed, acceleration and most importantly agility. Secondly I reckon you should look at the type of game you play, as in are you the type of player who always goes out to beat his man or are you the type who plays 'industrial' style and always looks to release the ball ASAP. If you're the first(like me) then I think you should really look at improving stuff like agility and do lots of quick play in an enclosed space with some friends. Then as you get more confident you can feel more comfortable you can play your normal style.

Lol I hope it helps

i was writing a response, then i looked up and henry#14 pretty much put what i was gonna say, it really depends on your game, are you a ballwinner, playmaker, winger etc. i think what henry#14 said about enclosed play with friends or teammates is great. get 5v5 in a marked pitch and play 2 touch max, which forces you to think of your next move and relies on a good first touch to set yourself up for a pass

regardless of that, you need to work on your first touch. you need the confidence with the ball, so that when you receive it, you can have your head up surveying the field deciding what you want to do with the ball.

also off the ball movement is also imparative, so that you dont get lost in the pace of the game. get involved in the game, get your confidence up. and dont be afraid to get stuck in

with a faster game, it means you are at a higher level, and you are at that higher level for a reason so i bet you will adjust easily

Any tips on improving your pace? I have stamina but the pace will benefit me a lot.
