In soccer, the dribble is one of the most exciting and spectacular movements and one that many fans look forward to during the game. Dribbling is a technical move capable of impressing a stadium and lifting stands of ecstatic supporters.
More technically, the dribble is also crucial in the most diverse moments of the game because, in addition to allowing you to overcome the opponent, it can create moments of imbalance and enhance the attacking movements of a team, making chances of goals or fouls in essential areas.
