Who has the best first touch in Madrid?
Re: Who has the best first touch in Madrid?
Higgy has the best first touch
Many people here speak of first touch like it's about ball control...

First time shooting = first touch :lol!: He does well with it so his first touch is godlyNirgall wrote:sportsczy wrote:Higuain is good at it 85% of the time. Again, it's almost a requirement to be a top shelf striker because of the pressure you're immediately under upon receiving the ball... When Higuain nails it, it's beautiful. But he there's 15% of the time that it's off.
When it's slightly off for a CF, the ball is lost or shot opportunity gone. That's why i always say that CFs have to have the best first touch on the team. Every other position has more margin for error and less stress.
One interesting thing about Higuain is that he doesn't usually try to control through balls, he just shoots them at first touch.
I don't know if that is lack of trust is his control or excessive trust in his first touch shot. Either way, he tends to do well using that method, so lets hope he keeps it up.

Higuain imo, always uses that first touch to get away from the marker
benzemas is always pretty good

2 years ago it would've been Cristiano Ronaldo, hands down. Nowadays, though.. it's probably Di Maria.

Higuain and Benzema are the best to me... because of where they need to control the ball. If they're six inches off, they're closed down or they can't get a good shot. Everyone else has more wiggle room.
Because Benz sometimes plays wide, you suddenly see how good his first touch is. It's on those occasions that you see how much better his touch is than all except maybe Ozil and Marcelo. Higuain would be the same way if he went wide more.
Higuain's one-time shots are godly.

1) Ozil - no competition really, he uses those first touch to get past players, kind of like how Zidane used to do but in a different style.
2) Benzema - has such a clean first touch, his holding-up play is so brilliant to watch
3) Ronaldo - you guys really do under-rate his first touch. You look at the one or two that he screws up and ignore the 7/8 great touches he has in a game. But I guess everyone is extremely critical of the superstars in their team.
That may be so, but Di Maria's first touch is pretty damn amazing when he isn't under overwhelming pressure. I've seen him lose the ball plenty of times, due to being pressured while taking down the ball, but I think that's more of a mental issue than a physical one. If we're talking about who's got the best first touch under pressure, it has to be Marcelo. And again, CR probably had the best first touch in the world a few years ago. What happened to him?

Re: Who has the best first touch in Madrid?
Perhaps I should have distinguished the ability to make the right desition of where to push the ball while recieving it so as to be in a more advantageous position and the more natural ability to cushion the ball while recieving it.
I guess Ronaldo, xabi, kaka and higuain are better in the first one
And Marcelo, ozil, Di maria and Benzema are better in the second one.

If not CR7 then benz.. I still think CR has a slightly better touch. You guys should know I'm insanely bias towards benz fyi, he IS my countryman after all..

Exactly the goal that popped up in my mind once I saw Higuain being mentioned. Brilliant goal.Zealous wrote:
1) Ozil - He's very consistent with his first touch and he can control some very difficult balls quite well.
2) Higuain - His first-time shots and touches to get away from a marker or goalkeeper are extremely good. I think he scores most of his goals with one or two touches.
3) Benzema/Marcelo - Smooth on the ball and have excellent control when it is at their feet. But this would probably be more about the overall control than just the first touch. Didn't want to leave them out, though.
