Twin Shot (ツインシュート) is a cooperative skill between two teammates.

Description[]

This technique is done when two people are shooting the ball at the same time, on purpose [1] or by chance [2]. The result is a swinging ball, resembling multiple balls, and making difficult for the keeper to know where the ball is, and thus harder to catch and repel. While there isn't a unique way to perform the technique, it was most often done with volley shots, but also jumping volleys and overheads.

Users[]

This shot is done between two-top players or a combi, such as the Japanese Golden Combi, the Tachibana Combi, the Toho Combi, the Meiwa-Toho Combi, the Barcelona Golden Combi or the Argentina Combi. The players can also shoot with more or less power to add a side curving effect, or can even use it as a pass.

  • At least three different versions of the Twin Shot have been stopped by Muller, due to his extreme training with his master, Gunter.
