Learning dribbling from Luis Diaz

 I was watching a video on Luis Diaz's dribbling and I wanted to learn how he does it because it looks very good and he seems to do it pretty often, so something's definitely working for him. 

1. Change of direction: He is always taking the ball in different direction. Sometimes it's a lot of quick touch changing direction again and again that make him loose the defender. He takes the touches against the defenders momentum. If the defender is going in the same direction he is and he doesn't want to change direction, he puts the ball across the defender and comes in between the defender and the ball. 

2. Stay low: He is always keeping his knees bent and being ready to go in any direction he wants to. Staying low also helps him keep his arms out and hold of other players. He is fast and general but staying bent helps with pushing off quickly and therefore having a speed advantage over others.

3. Head up: He is always keeping his head up and looking at whatever he is scanning and taking in information. This obviously requires more skill as he has to move the ball in different ways while looking away from the ball. He does look down in tight situations where the touches have to be small, precise and quick. 

4. Small feints: These are little movements of the leg or shoulder or knee that make the defender think You're going in a different direction. They have to be very quick to make it look like it's actually happening, because he wouldn't think your moving somewhere slowly. The move can be subtle but it HAS to be fast. Exaggerating the move helps though (make it look more realistic).
