Elevator ball is a goal-scoring technique in football, which is fundamentally different from deciduous ball and banana ball. It refers specifically to a free kick in which the player uses the inside of the instep of the foot to send a free kick with little spin, but the ball suddenly changes and falls before the goal. Some people have likened it to "quickly ascend the elevator to the 6th floor and then descend sharply to the 1st floor", hence the name "elevator ball".
There are some tips and steps that need to be mastered to kick elevator ball, and here are some of the highlights:
Correct foot position: The foot should be placed on the side of the ball, about 10-15 cm away from the ball.
Control the power and direction of the kick: The control of the kick force and direction is the key to kicking the elevator ball. The force should be high enough for the ball to generate enough spin and velocity;The direction is to ensure that the ball can follow the predetermined trajectory.
Adjust the distance between the support foot and the ball: According to different situations, the distance between the support foot and the ball can be adjusted appropriately. In general, getting too close can lead to a ball speed that is too fast to control;Too far away may reduce the spin and speed of the ball.
Keep your balance: Spread your arms away from the side of the ball when hitting the ball, keep your body balanced, and touch the ball with the inside of your instep.
Pay attention to the instant force of touching the ball: use your thighs to drive your calves to "whip" the ball, and quickly exert force at the moment of touching the ball to make the ball produce enough spin and speed.
The above tips and steps can help you kick the elevator ball better. Of course, in order to kick a high-quality elevator ball, you need to practice Xi repeatedly and constantly adjust to find the methods and skills that suit you.
