I hate it too, especially cuz Im the youngest in our u18 team(I will turn 16 at Christmas), and our team is playing very defensive, we score almost all goals with counter attacks and set pieces, so all pressure is on defence. and it's bloody hard if a team plays 3-5-2 formation
and my favourite tricks are faking shot and passing ball between opponent's legs. my records is getting through 4 players with passing ball between their legs. last match I tried flip flap, I did it quite well, but I got fouled then..... and long time ago it got passed someone by lifting the ball with backheel
