10 Greatest Signature Moves In Football History Pt. 2

Ronaldinho’s signature move: everything

The Harry Maguire's signature move: Scoring own goals. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@sethchimezie9335]

As a Nigerian I'm so happy to see Jay Jay get recognition after all these years

[@tannernatebryce6259]

The okocha stepover damn gives me memories...the mentor of Ronaldinho who toyed with kahn

[@MohammedAhmed-py4rk]

If you don't recognize Jay Jay then you're asshole

[@scottgraham5480]

That is very true, my friend often says about Okocha being named twice haha, he used to perform the "pot of gold" skill quite often 🤟🤣

[@samypons3185]

facts

[@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.

[@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.

[@AntonioZL]

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

[@YashMore-cs-7]

Thanx bro,I knew it but I cannot elaborate like you

[@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.

[@joseclima9519]

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

Pele was first to do overhead kick on camera, and did Cryuff turn in 1963 vs Juventus. Hugo Sanchez scored over 20 overhead kicks..some of the moves that are from decades ago.

[@f5anabolic]

Pele did everything before everyone. Including La Croqueta (Iniesta’s Speciality), Roulette (Zidane’s Speciality), Flip Flap/ Elastico (Ronaldinho’s Speciality) and even the Ronaldo chop (CR7’s Specialty).

Rivelinho's step over.. Maradona's "chop" control move to change direction.. Hugo Sanchez "scissor" kick.. Rooney's "eyes" where he fakes to shoot far post but scores at near post. All signature moves. Put them in the next one

[@robertodibaggio8181]

Roberto Rivellino basically invented 2 moves; the Elastico and the "reverse" stepover [or inside stepover]

[@Benerdelyi]

The Busquets drag back is actually the signature move of Ferenc Puskas in the 1950s

[@champions8691]

Master of knuckleball is Juninho Pernambucano

[@emdi-west]

Messi's body faint is forever GOATed no matter how many times he does it it's always crazy

[@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.

[@liongordel9088]

No one equals Phenomenon. His signature moves equals GOAL.

[@PIP...33]

NOPE. ROMARIO MEANS GOALS. RONALDO MEANS INJURIES. ROMARIO SIGNATURE MOVE = CPU WHO CANT MISS. RONALDO SIGNATURE = HOSPITAL

[@pendragonU]

@@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. But Ronaldo had a different physique more powerful than small Romario, so he hurt himself with those moves ok for a less strong and lighter player. Ronaldo was a good kid and loyal admirer of sweet Romario

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.

Ronaldo didn't invent a skill, he invented an entire new law of physics.

[@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.

[@brexistentialism7628]

I wouldn't think of busquets in conjunction with the drag back. It's quite a standard move. Nice video though.

[@gideondavid8944]

Glad Okocha was mentioned

One time my football team made a list likening everyone to a well known player. I was McGeady, which I thought was simultaneously a nod to my skill and dribbling but also lack of end product. Bastids.
