I have a couple of good one but i would like someone to give me some more so i can build up an arsenal. Elastico- i think i must have spent more than 24 hours practicing this move and i can finally do it pretty well. I still have trouble doing it at speed though. i find it is still effective when the defender has you at a standstill. Variation of the scissors- this is my favorite move and it will almost always result in a foul on the opposition or leaving him in the dust. Running at a sprint with space at a defender, scissor with your right leg, step forward with your left the hit it with the heel of your right foot so it comes out from behind you going slightly to the left. then the tricky part is getting yourself away from the defender who has just taken a swing for a ball with you inbetween them. The thing i lovee about it is it can be done really smothly at high speed. Full preki- this one is good on the flank but u must sell the fake for it to work. roll the ball with the bottom of your right foot and then stepover the rolling ball with your left pretending to be taking a swing at it. French move- i learned this one from a guy in france. running at someone fake lunge to the left and if they step forward meg the dude. Please add to this list
elastico is simple, so simple to do standing and it is actually really really really hard (and a bit useless I think) at faster speeds. If you try it you either make it or you lose it you know? Because to do it faster you have to sort of lose control for a bit. Used at the right time perfectly though, it is practically unstoppable. My favorite move is a light touch with the inside of your foot followed by a quick stepover and taking the ball with your other foot. I call this the matthews with a stepover. I like it because you can read the defender and change by doing another stepover or simply just cutting depending on what he does and it allows you to really keep the ball inside of you for nice close control. Against a stupid defender just watching him then megging him often works. Another of my favorites is to cut the ball one way then chip it over the defenders foot and run around him. If you want to be a real show off, I never do this, but use one of those knee high rainbow kicks.
Wot i like to do is say you're right footed back heel it into you're left foot so it goes past just the right of your right foot
im not sure how to explain it but here it goes. about 4-5 yards from defender act like you will shoot or play a long ball. instead give the ball a little chip about 2 yards a head of you and bring your plant footaround( like a freestlye move i geuss. then with the footyou originaly planted with hit the ball past the defender and run and get it more than likely leaving the defender 3-5 yards behind you and flatfooted i dont think ive ever seen this move done, i was just screwing around one day and kind of started doing it
I can only do a couple that tend to be reliable and leave me with the ball at my feet in the end. Most of them are pretty simple and probly have names, but i've just learned them by fooling around and trying new combinations. As im comming near the defender, i do a quick stutter stepp, and with my right leg i do a roll over - right after i've done the roll over, with my left leg i do a step over. Its all really quick and leaves the ball rolling foward and to my left - away from the defender and almost always works. My next one is very simple but tends to work pretty good. I mostly use it when im running the ball down the sideline and get near the corner for a cross, but have no open shot (with my right foot) due to a defender between me and my team mates charging the box...So what i do - before slowing down from sprinting - is just take my right foot and scoop the ball underneath me and ending with it a couple yards behind me. This gives me enough time to turn around, drop the defender and take an open cross to the box with my left foot. The next move I sometimes use, which still needs some tweaking and perfection, is pretty much the same as my first one, but with a little addition. Before rolling over the ball to the left - with my right foot, I roll the ball to the outside with my right (so with right leg, roll outside TO the right) then before stopping, i quickly roll it back inside and do a left footed step over. What this does is causes the defender to believe im doing a simple outside roll over (which makes him commit), then i suddenly change direction on him. The only problem is, im not the best at it and sometimes if i'm going too fast i'll end up leaving the ball behind before rolling it back endside, heh heh...Which makes me look like a fool. lol
I don't know the official name of the move but I saw it when Zidane was playing aginst another La Liga side( I forgot which team it was) Anyway, it's a 360 spin. It's hard to explain but you take the ball and with either your right or left foot drag the ball inward and take the other foot and spin with the ball, dragging it. This trick is pretty easy to master but you can only use it when you're running at a guy. It is almost always effective. I don't use to many complex moves. From time to time i use stepovers;I roll the ball over and sometimes I use scissors. But sometimes, a simple fake or cut will do the trick. One trick that I use pretty often is where I take the ball and fake to pass it one way, drag the ball to the other side and dribble past the defender. And if you need space to pull a shot of ,fake a shot. usually the defender will commit and try to block the shot, then pull the ball back and come in and take the shot.
Another one I forgot is one I saw Ronaldo doing in FA cup but I believe I have seen Drogba use it in UEFA cup semifinal . You run at a guy and fake to go one way, commting defender but then with the same foot you backheel the ball around the defender's foot and burst with speed either go laterally(Ronaldo), or burst straight foward(Drogba).
theres always the kick over the head or the kick inside go outside. also like elastico but inside of foot followed by outide
mathews (fake the touch to the left with the inside of your right foot, our touch it a little, and then suddenly take it with the outside of your right) mixed with mathews step over (same as mathews, but instead of taking with the outside of right, do a scissors and take with outside of left. Maradonna is a must too
edgardavids10, the move that you are talking about is the maradona. i can do it really well but i find its never effective for me is there something im doing wrong?? A list of soccer moves can be found at strongsoccer.com
If you have to practice, then it ain't a move. Dribble more, and your "moves" will come natually. Did you think Manadona practiced moves? Nah, he practiced a lot of juggling and ball controls. I am very sure Ronaldino didnt "practice" to create his elastico; it was just that one day, he was playing and he pull that move out of no where and he thought, cool, and he tried again, and it worked for him again...his legs must be able to pull off that move quite easier than other peopple. He was born that way. I personally make it my business to "punish" people who try to pull a move by toe punting their ball away, cause they try so hard you know a "move" is coming......The one who successfully pull a move on someone though, turns out to be those who never actually need those moves; they would blow through any defense anyway. ~out
Banana and a half, to be more accurate, my move is exactly what dasoccerplayafosho calls the matthews stepover. If you do it right and watch the defender it is so useful because you can change it into anything you want basically. I think that move where you do the preki but first do an outside- inside sounds cool ronaldinho10. The best plan I think is to have a set of 3-5 moves that all can change into one another and you have perfect mastery of. Then, you learn to watch the defender and keep the ball really close so you can avoid his tackles or accelerate as soon as he is a bit off balance.
Sometimes I just knock the ball between my feet real fast. Like Im doing a foundation drill. This gets the defenders attention. So then I just slot the ball between their legs for the meg. I also like dragging the ball across my body with one foot and using my other foot to step-over.
Depends, do you use the trick at a standstill or on the run? And you have to sell the trick too. If you are perfroming the trick correctly and doing it on the run and such, then it should be very effective. P.S. the site isn't working
It is only simple after you have practiced it only a few thousand times (I would know). You're right though it is one of those moves where if you don't do it perfectly, then it is useless in tricking the defender. A weak elastico accomplishes nothing. A strong elastico can beat even the best defenders.
i totally disagree with you. there is no way that ronaldhino does the elastico without ever practicing it. you cant you go out and do something that complicated without ever trying it. besides if you dont practice your moves how are you supposed to do them proficiently.

Yeah thats it, but you can see better versions of it here - http://ronaldinho10.com/video.htm . Its also known as the "Flip Flap". Heres another one:
i think that the best 1 on 1 move is were you roll the bal onto your foot and then you flick it over there head and then run on to it then against the next defender OLE HIM !! this ronaldinho is wat he does in the ole advert
