    I agree with the answers above about keeping things simple. I would add that while juggling is a very good way to develop ball control skills, it serves almost no direct purpose in a match. No one marches down the field in a game while juggling the ball.

    As a former coach, I would recommend that you change your practice methods for skills and moves. There is a progression one should follow for training, and it sounds as though you need more work on the last 2 steps.

    That progression is first work on a skill/move unopposed to learn how to do it correctly. Step 2 is to add passive resistance (someone who plays the role of the opponent, but only to stand nearby and/or to mildly challenge). The last step is match related, in which the practice partner actively challenges while you do the move.

    That should give you much more match-related training, which should help in the game.

    just don't do anything fancy. if you're being harassed by the opposition, use your body to shield the ball, then think about your next move.

    and always cooperate with team-mates. surely you don't want to get the blame at the end of the game, right? :)

    and like me when i was beginning, youtube videos can give you lots of help. there's no shame in seeking help.

    Being fancy doesn't always get you the farthest so don't waste your time learning complicated tricks; stick to the basics! to get good powerful kicks my coaches always told me to pretend the ball was something i absolutely hated and to take all my anger out by kicking the ball; ever since they told me that i've been able to get the ball farther and to my teamates better.
