100% does. This kind of close control is why players like Messi are so good. They don't need tons of space to maneuver, just a tiny little gap to move the ball into for their next touch. This is what sets technically gifted dribblers apart from players like Haaland and Ronaldo, who are more about finding space without the ball and clinical finishing.

I get the principle, but this seems off to me. Doing this with cones on a field would be more practical, I would think. But again, I don't know shit about what is more practical for footwork training in this regard.

Yeah you're definitely right about that. This is just asking for injury. Looks great, does very little that other drills can't do.
