Puskas move
This move can be quite effective when an enemy is really close to you. Simply pull the ball back and push it sideways with the inside of your foot. There are a few different variations of the Puskas (aka V-move). Some players like to fake a kick before pulling the ball back, others use the outside of the foot to push it sideways.

Cruyff move
See Cruyff do this move step by step Approach the ball as if you're taking a kick, but plant your base foot slightly ahead of it. Now swing your "kicking" leg forward until it's fully extended and cut the ball under your body.

Tip: The success of this move depends on how quickly you accelerate right after you cut the ball. Typically, the most effective use of the Cruyff move is when you're on the wing, faking a long ball or a cross.
