- The effectiveness of certain actions will wear off, if you just keep doing the same thing, because the opponent can adapt to it and change his defending. In order to avoid this, you have to start balancing your decisions.
- This is especially the case for recognizeable and very distinctive situations. For example 1on1 on situation on the wing or playing a corner short or having a 2vs1 inside the box.
- How to balance? Either variety in your actions. You play a pass, instead of going into a 1on1 with a skill move. Or you do different kind of skill moves. Or you keep sprinting on the wing, instead of cutting inside.
- You can also add variety of the same action. For example the exit of your step overs or drag backs. Or in which direction you control the ball. Or in which corner you shoot.
- When to balance? You notice that you encounter the same situation several times. No need to track anything, but just getting that gut feeling that you have to change it up, because you have already done the same thing several times.
- When not to balance? Either when your opponent is not strong enough. If he isn't observant and notices what you like to do, then he won't adapt. So if you don't get the feeling that he is trying to get into your head and read you, don't worry about balancing. Also, when the opponent keeps struggling with the same things that you do. You already scored two goals with a lobbed through ball? Keep doing it, until the opponent is able to defend it.
