Cruyff Turn
Cruyff’s Soccer Dribbling Move
This move, branded by Holland’s superstar, Johan Cruyff is quite easy to reproduce but that doesn’t mean it’s less effective. Actually, it’s one of the most effective moves to perform at the edge of the box, or inside it faking a shot, or even on the wings, faking a cross. I’m sure that many of Cruyff’s former adversaries will acknowledge this move’s effectiveness. Here’s how you do it:
1. Push the ball slightly forward, as if you are preparing to take a kick
2. Plant your base foot (not the one you’re fake kicking with) just a tad ahead of the ball
3. When your fake kicking foot reaches the ball, instead of shooting, cut it under your body, behind your base leg
