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. |

Reverse scissors
The Reverse scissors looks more complicated than it is.
Simply roll the ball sideways across your body, throw a scissors fake and cut in the opposite direction.

This move is usually applied when there's a number of opponents around you or when you're on the wing. It's most effective if you do it at first touch, instead of trapping the ball.

Cruyff move
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.

Double cut
The double cut is a good way to shake off an opponent that is closely jockeying you.
This ought to give you a couple of second to pass or shoot the ball.
