            PLAYER MOVES
                Volley kick -
Can be executed just b4 the ball hits the ground. The ball is struck harder
and it moves alot faster than a normal kick.It will surprise your opponent
and may score you an impressive goal

                Overhead kick
Can be executed when the ball is in the air behind the player Can be used
both defensively to clear the area or to score the most spectacular goals

                Back Heel -
A lovely little trick to fool the opponent and get a free run or shot

                Banana Shot -
The aftertouch in Glory is very powerful and will play a major role in
free kicks penalties and corners.Also can be used in normal play to
demostrate skill and curling the ball into the corner of the net

                Diving Header -
Can be executed when the ball is in the air in front of the player.
Scores some magnificent goals

                Power Attack -
That extra adrenaline the extra motivation the extra effort seen so many
times in real life In Glory you have just one possible power attack per
game per player Use it wisely - get behind the defence take the ball off
the opponent or score spectacularly!
The power attack is only available when the players numba is Yellow

             One two pass -
A superb manoeuvre to penetrate the defence Use it to surprise your
opponent maybe in combination with the power attack for devastating
results!

                Sliding Tackles -
Try to perform clean tackles and not to foul the opponent The Ref is
aware of the new FIFA rules

             Jumping over a tackle -
Use this to leave the opponent lying on the floor while giving you
some free space But remember sometimes its better to fall and get
a chance of a freekick and your opponent getting booked

             Goalkeeper Moves -
The goalkeeper can perform a drop kick from any where in the box.The
goalkeeper can also throw the ball to a team mate If one of your players
passes the ball back he can't pick up the ball
This means he can dribble the ball up the pitch
