Great players are not always the fastest or strongest. What makes them special is positioning. Positioning means being in the right place at the right time. Many players only focus on the ball. But smart players think about space. Before the ball arrives, ask yourself: • Where is the space? • Where is the defender? • Where should I move to help my teammate? Good positioning helps you: • Receive the ball with more time • Create passing options • Escape pressure • Control the rhythm of the game Watch players like Xavi, Busquets, and Modrić. They are always moving a few steps to create better angles. Sometimes one small movement can change the whole attack. Football IQ is not only about what you do with the ball. It is also about where you stand without the ball.
