The heel-to-heel skill move is performed to change the ball's direction, often to beat a defender approaching from the side. This is best used when an opponent over-commits in front of you from the side. The video reference shows it being called the "lateral heel to heel" maneuver.
Here's how to execute the move:
- Approach: Start dribbling towards the opponent.
- Initiate the Move: As the opponent approaches from the side and over-commits, use the heel of your one foot to flick the ball laterally across your body and slightly behind you.
- Follow Through: Immediately after, use the heel of your other foot to flick the ball back in the direction you initially came from.
- Exit: This should create space between you and the defender, allowing you to exit the move on the side you want to go.
Essentially, you are using a quick double-heel flick to change the ball's direction and evade the defender's challenge. Practice to improve the speed and precision of the move.
