Keep your head up. Good vision is essential to good ball control and excellent Messi-style dribbling. Establish a low center of gravity. Keep your arms out. Remember how Jack Sparrow walked in Pirates of the Caribbean, arms out to steady the drunkenness? Watch some tape—great dribblers like Messi dribble like that. Keeping your arms bent and slightly out from your body allows you to maintain your balance during quick transitions and changes of direction, keeping yourself in the best position.
Play constantly. In an interview, Messi was once asked what it took to become a great player like him and he said that they key was to love the game and play it constantly. From the age of 3 on, Messi played every day, morning, afternoon, and night. He played inside and got in trouble for breaking things. As soon as he could walk, he was dribbling a soccer ball. Do the same. Part 2 of 2: Faking Out Defenders Shield the ball with your body.
Put your body between passes that you receive and any defenders around you. Turn your hip or you back to the defense and try as much as you can to shield the ball from them. Messi will often already have his eyes up and looking over his shoulder at an opponent as soon as he traps the ball. Accept passes with the foot farthest from your opponent. When you trap a pass, try to do it by controlling it with the foot farthest away from the opponent.
To start off on the right foot ha! Locate the space. Keeping your eyes up, decide which direction is more likely to allow you enough space to maneuver around the defender. Bring the defense in by stepping in the opposite direction you want to go. Basically, to juke out a defender, Messi takes one stutter-step in the fake direction, feints, and then dribbles in the opposite with the outside of his foot. Approach the defender slowly. Please look at the following two pictures. One of them is from Gareth Bale, one of the best players in the world and one of the fastest runners without the ball.
The second key technical detail is the timing of that touch — it is about WHERE the ball is when he pushes it forward: Messi touches the ball when it is aligned to the center edge of his body. He touches it "late. Most players push the ball "early," or forward, when the ball is ahead of them. That's a problem if you seek to accelerate because it forces you to stretch your leg forward and that slows you down.
It's not part of our natural running motion — imagine we were doing it without the ball and accelerating, right? So once again we find the same principle: dribbling peed comes from our capacity to replicate the body motion of running without the ball. Look at this video and search for such points we made above. Can you see it? Basically, to juke out a defender, Messi takes one stutter-step in the fake direction, feints, and then dribbles in the opposite with the outside of his foot.
Approach the defender slowly. Messi brings the defender in and forces him to reveal his hand and make a mistake before blowing past them finding space.
Messi isn't a flashy dribbler like Ronaldhino or a master of the step-over like Cristiano Ronaldo, he just uses simple changes of direction and ball control to do inhuman looking things. Drop it into high gear when you decide to switch direction.
Blow past your opponent by flicking the ball in the direction you want to go and moving into your quick-dribble that you've been practicing so aggressively.
You don't have to go super-fast to find space, you just need to make the smart dribble and catch the defender flat-footed and out of position. He won't be able to touch you. Target the movement of the goalkeeper, then you see where there is a very clear place, then shoot the ball.

Of course, you don't want to exhaust yourself. The more practice, the more you will develop. Remember that you and only you are responsible for your development.
When Messi was a child, wherever he went, the ball went. In other words, he always had a ball and made use of any opportunity he had to practice. Not Helpful 36 Helpful Messi does not perform trickery, he is more of a dribbler. He relies on feints and accelerating, and catching defenders wrong footed by cutting inside and outside quickly.
Not Helpful 26 Helpful Take small steps and keep the ball as near to you as possible. Not Helpful 10 Helpful Also, control the ball with the foot furthest from your body. Getting lower to the ground bending your knees more will allow you to stay in balance so that the player can't knock you off the ball.

Not Helpful 28 Helpful Keep your mind in the game, concentrate and forget that people are watching. Not Helpful 24 Helpful Usually the outside of his foot.
