Football Skills

[H10]

I decided to create a skills compilation with some of my favourite skills ranging from elasticos, nutmegs and 'Hocus Pocus'. Which player comes to mind when you think of football skills? For me for some reason I always think about Douglas Costa and Adel Taarabt, as they defo bring more street skills than most players. Also what was the best skill you ever saw? Feel free to share any skills which truly left you in awe when executed! Do let me know your thoughts on the short compilation! I particularly like the reaction from Taarabt's teammate around the 2.26mark

Always the first name to spring to mind (might want to mute the music)




And this one. This is so incredibly difficult to do.

Zidane's roulette is the most elegant I've ever seen.

Tricks rarely work in real football.

Agreed. Can kill the opposition with just one touch,

Nice video mate.

Not the craziest piece of skill you'll ever see but this one always stuck in my mind, sorry Utd fans

 

[Physiocrat]

Go to 58 seconds in

Very iconic, still remember this like it way yesterday

haha I remember that skill! Blanco right? He made his name off that one skill alone

Yup, Blanco.

You would’ve thought someone would’ve told Marradona to tie his laces?, Brilliant all the same.

Does anyone remember Fellaini doing a roulette against City right from the kick off?

I can't find the video but here's one from his Everton days

Thought I was watching prime Zizou for a moment

Jay Jay Okocha just took the mick - crazy skills on the ball with a big smile on his face and used to give Keano and Co a torrid 90 mins whenever we played Bolton.

That's why I was so estatic for Ronaldo's debut. It was like we had our answer!

No matter what sort of skill it will never look as good as a skill that ends in a nutmeg.

The nutmeg is the most overrated piece of skill in the game. My distaste for it probably derived by playing with innumerable wannabee skill merchants who are happy to give the ball away a dozen times just to get one meg on someone.

Joe Cole

Herbie Hancock - Rock It

That is all.

If you know, you know.

Also waiting on the Morrison gif.

Philistine.

Used to like them but again playing with nutmeg spammers is boring, the ones who will knock it through someones legs, but be beaten to the ball and still claim a nutmeg are especially tedious, relies more on luck that most bits of great skill.

Most of the time it is a great counter attacking weapon for the defensive team.

I just love a good nutmeg. Although a close second would be something really subtle. I’m a huge fan of a body swerve. Beating someone without touching the ball. I don’t like really ostentatious skills. The more low key the better.

Nutmeg shouldn't count if you don't end up with possession of the ball after it goes through their legs.

Agree with you there, old skill dribblers do it for me, the body feints, misdirection, change of pace, don't need all the flip flaps etc, just natural control of the ball at pace is beautiful to watch.

There’s black and white footage of Law absolutely wrecking someone with a body swerve that is a joy to watch. Just been trying to dig out the clip but no luck.

Agreed, just gives the impression it was by luck, unintentional or pointless.

Nonsense. It's a thing of beauty.
