Hello, i am Guido from Football Tricks Online
today i will teach you the correct volley kick technique
The volley kick is an excellent resource for any football player
i recommend learning it, it's a technique which you can surprise with
In football, there is a lot of situations when you are not in the perfect position
to hit the ball with your head, control the ball or even kick it normally
those uncomfortable positions to head, kick or control... can be perfect position for a volley kick
for example, if the ball comes with a lot of power in this direction
we cant head it
we cant control it as good either
it's event uncomfortable for kick it
but for the volley its a perfect position
we perform the volley and can surprise opponent team
the volley kick steps are really easy and basics
the hardest is to do it in the exact moment with perfect coordination
the volley is basically striking the ball in the air with the instep
and leaning your body sideways a bit
there is a low volley like this...
we got the medium height volley
and finally the high volley, the dream volley that everyone loves to perform
because it is really cool visually
like this...
don't get mistaken...
if the ball comes in the air and you hit it straight with your instep...
that is NOT a volley kick
You got to lean the body and hit the ball like sideways for it to be a correct volley
So basically as i told you, lean the body sideways and hit with instep
keep this in mind, lets give edu the ball to hold it for us
lower it a bit
Ok, so...
if i perform a volley and i dont lean the body...
i will bearly be able to lift my leg high
it's like your waist is in the way, preventing you to lift the leg up
so if we lean sideways, this will let you lift the leg way higher!
the higher the ball is, the more we need to lean sideways
if the ball is lower...
simply by leaning a little bit, it will be enough
so these steps are the easiest...
the hard bit comes when coordinating and hitting the ball in the perfect spot
if we hit the ball perfectly in the center...
the ball will have power, it will go at mid height in the direction we want
if we hit the ball a bit up, then the ball will go down and bounce off the ground
in a lot of situations this wont be really useful
if you hit the ball a bit low, then the ball will go to the clouds
thats one of the most frequent errors!
people get nervous and do it before time, hitting the ball under or in the lower zone
that will definitely make the ball go to space
let me show you the 3 ways so you can see what i mean
i will hit it in the upper part, right in the middle (correct form) and lower part so you can see
this is the upper part
that usually happens when you calculate bad
you wait too much and you hit it in the upper part
now this is hitting the ball in the lower zone
this usually happens when you hurry too much
so that is wrong as well...
now lets do the correct form, striking the ball right in the center
this makes the ball go straight with power and to perfect direction
the type of center you are receiving is also important
if you are receiving a chipped center with low power
where the ball goes really high and then goes straight down
it's really hard to calculate when the ball is coming straight down
because the ball is coming down with low power
and you got to add power to the volley for it to be a powerful kick
to add that needed power, you got to do a really fast, precise and powerful volley
in conclusion, center comes low in power...
and performing a fast precise and powerful volley... AND striking the ball correctly in the middle
it's pretty hard
in this situation (low power chipped centers) you can just wait for the ball to be near the ground
to then perform the low volley, it will be much easier to calculate
simply wait until the ball is near the ground then perform it
and you don't have to lean too much or left your leg up that high
letting you perform a more comfortable volley kick
for example edu tosses the ball
wait and calculate when its near the ground
strike it...
