PES 294 Five step drop
Stage: Beginner.
Stage Characteristics: The player's footwork was average and the ball and arms on the drop were slighlty below optimal.
What to change: The first few steps were and should be longer in the five step drop, however the last 2 should be short and allow the quarter back to set and plant. Also, one of the players drops back with only one hand on the ball which can be a little dangerous for a fumble.
Cue: Remembering a pattern for the drop would help with footwork i.e. "Long, long, long, short, short plant"
