Scotch move
The secret to executing this particular move is angling the body. Make sure you turn your hips 45 degrees relative to the direction where you want to go. Otherwise, the ball will hit your supporting leg or fly off to the side.

Tip: This is an effective move to nutmeg opponents. When you cut the ball with your backheel, your enemy will intuitively step forward.

Elastico move
See Ronaldinho do this move step by step This is Ronaldihno's signature move, commonly known as the Elastico. You use the top part of your foot to drag the ball sideways and then you cut it inside using the same foot.

Tip: The more you can drag the ball to the side, the more effective the move will be.

Crossover move (outside Elastico)
Here's a fancy move that's rather hard to pull off in a game. The enemy needs to be really to close to you. Use the crossover to push the ball as far as you can past him (possibly nutmeg him) and run to collect it. If you do it quickly enough, your opponent will freeze up in confusion.
