Ball Control

Ball control refers to a player's ability to skillfully manipulate and maintain possession of the ball during play. It involves precise footwork, positioning, and touch to keep the ball close, even under pressure, allowing for effective dribbling, passing, and shooting. Good ball control enables a player to make quick decisions, evade opponents, and create scoring opportunities. It is a fundamental skill in soccer, requiring coordination, timing, and awareness to manage the ball efficiently in dynamic, often crowded situations on the field.
