How to receive the ball out wide
Wingers, watch how Marcus Rashford receives this pass with his back foot. This allows him to immediately play forward, forcing his fullback back towards his own goal in the process.
Even the most experienced pros make scanning mistakes
As Geir Jordet, the leading authority on scanning in the world, discovered in his extensive research on the subject, scanning is about more than just frequency, timing is essential.
Elite players scan between teammates’ touches of the ball. When the ball is touched, it changes direction/pace, so players look at the ball. Between touches (or when the ball moves between players), nothing new happens with the ball, so players look at other events.
But as we can see in this clip, even the most experienced pros in the game can make scanning mistakes.

Football is all about deception. The art of disguising your intent and actions can make the difference in outwitting your opponent.
Strikers who possess this skill can use it to create space for themselves inside the penalty area to get their shots off.
