Dribbling | Controls FIFA 08 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Dribbling is one of the most important skills used in football. Keep in mind, that it could be used in defense and attack formations. Well trained player uses the ball to find adequate space to pass or shoot. Also, he can hold up all action and waste some time (if results are beneficial for his team).

Use all players' skills to keep the ball far from enemy defense. Press [E] and choose direction. Footballer will run with ball as fast as he can.

Running with ball without fakes is useless. The easiest way to fake is to change direction immediately after defender's move. Second fake is a rapid move. Press [Shift] and choose direction. It's not difficult to do that, but you need to watch your opponents.

Player's speed can be also used in another simple way. Press [Shift] + direction. Footballer will kick the ball ahead and will run to it. It's good trick to avoid slow defenders and cross ball to attackers.

Holding up the ball is the best way to waste some time. Press [C] to do it. Player will move the ball with low speed and control the pace of the game.
