[@brexistentialism7628]

In Germany we used to call that move where you flip the ball with your heel over the front of your head the 'Okocha' move. The one that Neymar does in this video at one point.

[@q-m-q1362]

Jay Jay Okocha moves are definitely guaranteed to make defenders dizzy for sure. Seriously how do you prepare for a guy who's trajectory is so wobbly like that? 100% unpredictable.

[@Alexeiyeah]

Old school football watchers from Brazil call the knuckle ball, done masterfully by Juninho Pernambucano, "dry leaf". It was a skillset highly associated with Didi, a player from 50's and 60's. You can look it up by searching for "folha seca Didi". Also, Ronaldo Fenomeno's move has a stationary version, which we call "pedalada" (peddleling) and was associated with Robinho, a player who didn't shine in Europe. Not correcting anyone, just adding something from Brazil.

[@carlosdumbratzen6332]

Robinho is so underrated

[@mosalami1548]

Robinho shined at real 🥲

[@rioikhtiar24]

Agreed, CR7 isn't even close enough to Juninho knuckle free kicks.

Juninho actually holds the record for most goals made in free kicks. He's a monster.

great video but ronaldo did not invented the knuckle ball, this was created by a ex brazilian player called Didi in the 50s, and his original name was "folha seca" in english dry leaf because of the unpredictable movement that happens in the ball Disclaimer - I know most of the people mentioned in the video didn't create the move they are associated, but in the Ronaldo case, it was said that he CREATED the knuckle ball and this mistake is not repeated in the other players on the list that have not invented the play, but just are connected with

[@Shaggy-8392]

R7's cutback at full flow is also a signature move. No one else does it like him. Ronaldinho had the shuffle where he feinted to take the ball on the outside of the foot before bringing it back with the instep.

[@omariblake21]

That's not his signature move man. Ricardo quaresma more like. Even ronaldinho used to do it a lot at PSG. CR7 basically took everything from everyone.

@@PIP...33 sadly that's true Because Romario was the idol and protector of Ronaldo N. he wanted to play just like him so often.

R9 did the best stepovers no question. Even the elastico i would say. I mean he did all that so perfect and that too mostly for the kill.

[@wolfgeralt]

Yes.. He is one of the best in fully utilizing those skills. Imagine doing stepovers to GK in World Cup and many important matches. Kids nowadays worship CR7 and looked down on R9 because of their blindness. There's literally no one else dares to even try it nowadays but R9 is doing it consistently in his prime.

not many people see Neymar this way but he invented many things in football.... 1. A backheel touch ( mad invention which is also very flashy and insanely good looking ) 2. Delayed Penalty shot ( most insane thing in football actually )...howmany times keepers slept on the pitch on the wrong side ? he does many new unseen things on practise as well

[@a1.ghost.]

Delayed Penalty shot is Balotelli's speciality. Watch a compilation of his penalties and you will see

Scorpion Kick of Rene Higuita (even though he didn't invent it, but when people talk about Scorpion kick, Higuita's name would be appear)

[@LATERZA00]

Lots of.mistakes. I am from Brasil and the McGedy is actually a pretty common futsal move. Also the knuckle ball was invented by Didi and perfected by Roberto Carlos before and many others before CR7.

[@omariblake21]

@Nonstop Football. Loads of misinformations here: Juninho made the knuckle ball famous and that's how he was shooting his freekicks. The McGeady spin was done way before zidane's era. The step overs are Pedro Calomino's signature move. The only one which is 100% correct here is Okocha's reverse step over.

[@davidlean1060]

...and it's not true that the kicker generates the ball movement. The ball is hit so as to not spin after it's been struck. It will then move in the air if it encounters turbulance. All it takes is one pocket of dirty air and the ball will change it's direction slightly, enough to make a keeper clueless as to where it will end up.

[@milandamjanovic1213]

The Mc Geady spin was done by Preben Elkjaer much earlier in the 80s
