Chelsea (the saviours of football) fan.
Does it even have a name? It's not anything new but I don't know what it's called (if it even has a name).

Ziyech dinking the ball over a tackle a 1 min 40 secs is what I'm talking about..


I did it once in my "career" as a sunday league player and nearly stopped play to congratulate myself.

The bridge, maybe? Though I think that’s more when you dribble it to the side of the player rather than over them. Maybe a more skilled version of that.

The Duffer Dink?

As a shorter player I used to do this all the time when overly aggressive players wanted to break my ankles.

It's just a chip/lob dribbling? It would've been nice if it had a name though.

Imagine if Chelsea were as good at attacking in real games as they are in those promo vids.

Defending doesn't seem to be a thing under Frank!

I think I remember Barthez doing this. Can't find a clip of it anywhere though
