Best youtubes of players for youngsters to watch
Shearer - Great for any youngster to be made to study, very very clear and obvious hand down so he's over the ball, standing foot next to the ball, with good variation of types of finishing and of how the hand positions alter in the technique to create the body shape at the point of striking the ball to help direct it where he wanted - Great header of the ball too, and too many youngsters are pussios when it comes to heading a ball
Benzema (At Lyon) - Just some superb technique and different types of technique in striking the ball, brilliant, simple and deadly effective tricks in use of body shape to draw defenders in and getting half a yard to finish, pass or lay the ball off to go for a return, David Villa is a good watch for this also. Lots of foot to foot, altering body shape as you play the ball from one foot to the other to wrong foot defenders on both, just some brilliant very simple with the right body shape moves to get half a yard, and if you practice and refine them enough, you can score goals like Mo's today (2 or 3 signature 'get half a yard' touches in that) and always get half a yard to get your shot or pass off
