When receiving the ball and trying to play forwards, the old adage was receive with the inside of the foot facing forwards. Body shape is side on.
Now FFA, pushes the message anything that is effective is fine.
I usually teach receiving turning/techniques in sequence:
1. The aforementioned receive/turn. 2. The pivot turn (I can't do it very well). 3. The shoulder feint turn. 4. Jairzinho turn (BSS). 5. Tostao turn (BSS).
All these need to be learnt so a player can do it on both sides. 90% of them seen at professional level are 1.
