As a player, your hips can make the difference between a goal or a near miss, a beautiful pass or a stump, a lovely through ball toward goal or a pass cut off by a defender, etc. When your hips are closed, you have no idea how the opposition is marking you(excluding scanning), where your teammates are, what is the nearest pressure, etc. However, a tiny detail of keeping your hips open can make a huge difference. Keeping your hips open can help you see the whole field around you as you take in vital information. If you receive the ball, all you need is one touch to drive forward and if a defender is marking you, all you need to do is scan over your shoulder, see how he is positioned, and body feint the defender before you have space to pass, shoot, dribble, etc. So in summary, the small change of opening up your hips can make a huge difference on the game.

What a game today — a real tactical battle between both teams. Barcelona had their moments, but credit to the opponent as well. Each side showed different strengths that made the match fun to analyze. 🔵🔴 Barcelona Highlights: Pedri controlled the rhythm beautifully. His calmness under pressure and ability to find space between lines helped Barca keep possession and create structured attacks. Raphinha brought the chaos Barcelona needed — direct runs, quick combinations, and constant pressure on the backline. ⚪ The Opponent’s Strengths: They defended with discipline and stayed dangerous on transitions. Their counter-attacks were sharp, especially when winning the ball high. The midfield worked hard to close down passing lanes, forcing Barca into wide areas many times. They also created a few dangerous moments by exploiting the space behind Barca’s fullbacks. Overall, it was a good mix of control vs. counter, patience vs. explosiveness. Both teams had phases where they dominated. What stood out to you guys the most from this match? Yup
