Nwankwo Kanu Mastered This Simple, Unstoppable Trick

As far as football tricks go, this is one of the simplest but when used effectively, it's almost impossible to stop.

Nwankwo Kanu's Signature Feint aka The Scoop Turn and it's variations.
Nwankwo 'Papilo' Kanu is a Nigerian former professional footballer who played as a forward. He was a member of the Nigeria national team, and played for Nigerian team Iwuanyanwu Nationale, Dutch side Ajax, Inter Milan of Italy, and English clubs Arsenal, West Bromwich Albion and Portsmouth.
Kanu won a UEFA Champions League medal, a UEFA Cup medal, three FA Cup medals and two African Player of the Year awards amongst others. He is one of few players to have won the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, UEFA Cup and an Olympic Gold Medal.

This famous Kanu's dribble could result to a penalty when the defender refused to give way. This explains why many times his clubs and national team were privileged with penalties when they needed an equalizer or a victory in a tense game.

[@joelcazares9986]

That’s Romário’s masterpiece.

[@slmslm213]

Indeed 👌

[@topeben5627]

With the simple trick, Nigeria enjoyed a lot of penalties. Even when all hope seem lost, this legend will just manufacture one penalty with this trick for us. God bless you Legend.

[@IKennaJohn-zu2up]

As simple as this move looks. Kanu made it an effective move capable of destroying any defender and keeper

[@souster98]

he was incredible at this skill, insane technical ability

[@veriteinternational]

Romario had this trick on lock too.

[@maungyawshuh5058]

It's called " 180 DRAG " in PES 2013.

[@sibamalindi]

Wow really. That's the first thing i think of. When i think of composure in the box. I think Nwanko Kanu

[@Dr.UldenWascht]

My man had giraffe-long legs. Once he was gone, he was gone 😄

[@NGprime]

it's like romario feint

[@enyinnayaalphonsus7631]

Kanu was a master ball craftsman. A real artist.

[@andrewphillips470]

But he couldn’t finnish

[@babatundeayoola949]

lol... they all almost knew he was gonna do it but ALWAYS fell for it. Simple and magical skill

[@praisezechariah1288]

This is the value of being focused on one detail papillo the great

[@epitejesse1534]

I had the privilege to watch both Jay Jay and Kanu in their respective clubs during the 90s down to the early 2000s , to be sincere Kanu was far better than Jay Jay. This his famous " c turn " dribble could destroy 2 or more defenders at once while Okocha's famous step over was meant just for 1 defender. At times Okocha would confuse himself and his team mates with his famous step overs . Looked at the way Kanu dribbled 2 Brazilian defenders without any effort in Atlanta 96 and scored , that was pure magic. I am one of those rear individuals who strongly believe Kanu was better than Okocha .

[@uwemudofia2419]

You aren't that rare. We hype J.J. it doesn't mean we don't know Kanu is arguably Nigeria's best player ever.

[@eFMe-fk1xh]

JayJay will always be the most loved one, because of the very special entertaining factor, truly unique, one can't just help but love him and hype him; but I think everybody knows that Kanu was the greater player, one has just to look at the career, after all. Gotta love them both though, I would do anything go back and watch again a game where JJ and Kanu are both involved.

[@schompification]

Kanu better than Jay Jay? Where? In clubs or national team?

[@badrobotNG]

If you talk about as a complete footballer, yes. But with respect to just raw dribbling talent Jay Jay and kanu don't belong in the same stratosphere. Jay Jay was just too talented. His football acumen and decision making where subpar however. Kanu had a better more holistic understanding of the game and his field vision was better than Okocha. Okocha in his later years closed those gaps in his game however.

[@Profitfromcoaching]

​@@schompificationJayJay was more fun to watch but Kanu was the better footballer.

[@sibamalindi]

The first thing I thought of when I thought of Kanu. Was why is he so composed inside the box. He seemed to have all the time in the world

[@obinnaobiekwe4910]

He's a well-grounded talent that developed properly that's why.

[@Bkamron]

Kanu was greatness; to quote an often quoted and dare I say very, very overrated individual, Bruce Lee: "I dont fear the man who practices a thousand kicks but I fear the man who practices one kick a thousand times." This was Kanu's 'one kick' and man could he do it exceptionally well!

[@joshuaobioma6803]

You dug deep to get this one. Remember when he came to Arsenal in 99... he was always leaving fans in shock.

[@Realtalkafri]

Exclusive kanu no one in recent years has this magic

King papi-lo 🤴 👑 🦁

[@mrsam3267]

He Reminds Me Of Dimitar Barbatov of Man United In the Early 2000’s Just A Little Taller But thier playing style is Similar as you can’t ever dispossess them off the ball

[@barthomme6890]

the infamous kanu drag as famous saying goes i fear not the man who has 1000 moves but the man who practiced 1 move 1000 times

[@gobro9483]

This trick + good weak foot is enough to destroy defenders and GK

[@arimakermhm9299]

To think he played with a heart condition ❤❤❤❤ man was out of this world 😢

King Kanu 4!

Kanu méritait une plus grande carrière ❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳

[@mateuszuchman2406]

Sir could you please make a video about Fode Mansare. He was an amazing dribbler. You probably recognize him. He's a Guinean. He played for Montpellier. He played amazingly, I especially remember the matches against Psg .Sir, please consider this topic. Fode Mansare often did very similar feints to Nwankwo Kanu. You made one video dedicated to this feint movement. I admire your work, Sir. Regards.

[@kayvaldo]

I can't promise I'll make a video about him because there's very little available on him online. I did see that wonder goal against PSG though.

[@mateuszuchman2406]

would be great, Sir. As far as possible. thank you for your attention. Today, I actually don't see players comparable to those you present. they played with courage and they were artists. Thank you for your work Sir. It's amazing to see these players at their best.

[@RespecTheLevYT]

Ah yes, the scoop turn

[@Abdi-libaax]

As a kid I used to think he was a DM because he had the number 4 for Nigeria 😆

[@terryharle627]

Legend has it he's still 38

[@regworld1167]

No matter how many times he did it, defenders always fell for it.😆😆😆

[@joshuaobioma6803]

Please do Thierry Henry's trademark move, where he slows down and then knocks the ball past the opponent to beat them with pace.

[@kayvaldo]

Hi Joshua, it's unlikely I'll do that as I'm not really interested in Thierry Henry. You can check out Souster's channel though. He has a lot of rare Henry clips.

[@prestozer]

Good for people with long legs

[@iteachyoucopywriting]

The dribble is so effective that it can take away two defenders

[@SupremeBros2012]

I think Kano would have been a more complete player if he converted half the chances he created His goal scoring ratio for Nigeria is poor but his skills are exemplary

[@Softman264]

Didn't know Kanu Nwankwo was pacy.

[@AdeoluTimi]

How I wish one of the present super eagles squad can see this clips

[@gbatigoal9]

This trick was invented by Romario

[@_No20_]

Shocking, almost no goals from that.

[@ibrahimomagbemi4036]

Abeg, what was he tryna do @2:24?😅

[@joshuaobioma6803]

Kanu is Top 3 dribblers for someone his size. Absolutely ridiculous technique.

[@user-lg3vh6uf1q]

Then we use to say . Kanu draw C 😂

[@kayvaldo]

exactly, I know it as 'C' but the internet calls it the scoop turn.

[@YTHDRT]

In Trinidad and Tobago, we call it a drags

[@kayvaldo]

@@YTHDRT yeah, "Kanu: The Drag King" was actually one of the titles that crossed my mind😄

[@YTHDRT]

Alright, nice...I think in the end you made the right choice with the final title though 👍

[@Vinus739]

He was better than Okocha.....facts

Too bad he couldnt score simple goals like darwin nunez right now

[@arnold1964able]

Simple trick? Simple? If you think that this is a simple trick then obviously you have never played football.

[@Lu-Beng-Ngap]

You need long legs

[@kayvaldo]

not necessarily, although it's more effective with long legs. Here's Jay-Jay Okocha doing the same trick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH2ogq2nrcSGd8U

[@igboanuaustin5110]

I remember he said, was taught in Ajax not be under tension within the opponet 18 yard box. Kanu Nwakwo the great. Igbo to the world.❤
