Take a look at the unique skills of the world s football giants

In the long history of world football, countless legendary stars have created desperate "unsolvable skills" with their talents and hard practice. These skills either bring physical talents to the extreme or incorporate unparalleled sense of ball and creativity, which makes defenders often sigh if they predict. The following are some recognized unique skills that are almost impossible to defend in a specific period:

1. Dribbing magic: the art of destroying the defense line by one person

Ronaldo (Roman) - "Pencity-style extraordinary "

Skill analysis: During a high-speed sprint, the upper body fluttered violently left and right, and the shoulders sinking a large amplitude. With the quick touch of the ball under the feet, it induces the defender to completely shift the center of gravity and break through in reverse direction.

No solution: extremely terrifying explosive power + super core power + realistic and fake actions. The defender was either shaken down or could only watch him take a single shot (such as the classic goal against Lazio in the 1998 League Cup final).

Serious effects: This action has a huge load on the knee, which can be called "self-destructive extraordinary", and few future generations can replicate its charm.

Royce (Ronaldinho) - "Oxtail "

Skill analysis: The toes quickly pluck the ball inward and pretend to cut inward. Instantly, the ball was plucked outward with the outside of the foot and changed direction. The whole process was completed with only one foot, and the movement was smooth and flowing.

No solution: extremely deceptive, extremely fast, and large or small. Ronaldo can suddenly display his knees in the cracks, and the defender's knees seem to be twisted (swept against Chelsea in 2005).

Magic Bonus: Combined with its magical sense of rhythm and smile, it has a huge psychological deterrence.

Messi - "Sinking shoulder change + high-frequency touch ball breakthrough "

Skill analysis: The core is not a single action, but a composite technology package with ultimate step frequency + ultra-low center of gravity + invincible ball sense + instantaneous shoulder sinking misleading. Especially good at suddenly starting at a standstill or slow state and "drilling out" from the encirclement.

No solution: the ability to combine the first player in history. The defenseman's prediction is invalid, and multiple double-teams are often resolved by their slight changes (such as the 2015 Champions League defeated Boateng Boateng).

Dominant area: The right-hand side cut area is called the "Messi Corridor". He knows that he wants to cut but still can't defend it.

Maradona - "Get out of the narrow space "

Skill analysis: curl up in a square inch (such as the bottom line, corner flag area), use your ankles and calves to protect the ball with high frequency touching the ball, and create space with turning and pulling the ball.

No solution: ball control accuracy under anti-nature balance + confrontation. Playing with the defender like "turning around in the spot" (it was used many times before five people in a row against England in 1986).

2. Fatal pass: precise guidance like a scalpel

Beckham - "Full Moon Scimitar " Right cross/free kick

Analysis of unique skills: When you touch the ball, use the inside of your foot to rub the bottom of the ball vigorously, and kick the ball with a fast speed, large curve, and accurate cross or free kick.

No solution reason: The landing point accuracy is calculated in centimeters. Teammates only need to run and the ball must be on the top of their heads (such as two corner kicks assists in 1999 Champions League to reverse Bayern). Defender blocks the angle? The blind spots are still screwed in!

Pirlo - "Long-distance direct pass on the ground "

Skill analysis: Easy to get rid of the pressing in the back of the waist, swing the legs in place to send a 20-40-meter direct pass on the ground, penetrate the multi-layer defense line.

No solution: God's perspective + concealment + penetration. The ball finds the most comfortable catch point for the striker like precise navigation (such as Dinatale assisted in the 2012 European Cup).

3. Unique shooting technique: the end of violating the laws of physics

Robert Carlos - "Anti-physical external spin free kick "

Skill analysis: The back of the thigh swings is extremely large, and the lower side of the ball is hit with the front of the foot, kicking out the weird arc that deviates from the goal, and suddenly the outer spin is flying towards the dead corner.

No solution: The ball speed is super fast + the trajectory cannot be predicted (the classic trajectory of "banana ball" against France in the 1997 Four Nations Tournament). The goalkeeper moved one step and then pounced? The ball has been entered!

Ibrahimovic - "Super-long-distance barb "

Skill analysis: Develop difficult shots into conventional weapons, especially in-situ barbs 30 meters away (such as the four amazing barbs against England in 2012).

No solution: core strength + flexibility + courage. When the opponent's goalkeeper stood in front, a flying immortal from the sky instantly changed the situation.

Drogba - "Unreasonable violent volleyball "

Skill analysis: force kicking at a very small angle or double-teaming of multiple people, the ball is close to the goal post like a cannonball.

No solution: extreme force suppression. Defensive players blocked? The ball was knocked through the cracks of the man!

4. Master of Technology: Master of Rhythm with Static Braking

Zidane - "Marseille Swivel "

Analysis of the unique skills: Use the soles of your feet to pull the ball back and turn and protect the ball to break through with an elegant movement, coherent and highly protective.

No solution: Master-level field control rhythm. The defender will be beaten by a swing, and hesitation will be controlled by the rhythm (the spoon was used before the penalty kick in the 2006 World Cup final). Although this action was not invented by him, it was sublimated to the realm of art by him.

Cruyff - "Cruyff Turning "

Skill analysis: pretend to pass the ball or break forward, and suddenly use the inside of the foot to tug the ball back from the support foot and change direction.

No solution: groundbreaking thinking + minimalist and efficient. One move left the whole wing, and countless players from later generations followed suit (including Messi and Neymar).

5. A special skill that is lost or restricted by rules

Zico/Pratini: "Leaf-falling ball shot ": Under the early football materials and rules, lightly rubbing the bottom of the instep to produce an arc that first rises quickly and then falls sharply. The goalkeeper is very likely to misjudgment the landing point..

Rivaldo: "Side volley shot" (left foot): accurate judgment of the ball landing point, and volley shot with a side force was extremely fast (2001 Camp Nou ended the Barcelona Champions League dream with a hat against Valencia).

Giggs/Ovimas: "Raw eating on the side": At its peak, it was just a few meters away by speed, and forced overtaking to break the deadlock (it is difficult to reappear due to the progress of the defensive tactical system).

Why are these unique skills "unsolvable"? Core reasons:

The perfect combination of talent and technology: For example, Ronaldo's explosive power + flexibility makes his pendulum unmatched; Messi's pace frequency + ball sense is once in a century.

Psychological deterrence: The opponent knows that he is going to take a move (such as Ronaldo's oxtail), but he is still suppressed by the spirit.

Time and execution: The master can reproduce his skills in the highest pressure event (such as Zidane's World Cup final Matrazi overhead).

Rules/Time Bonus: Some unique skills rely on early penalty standards (such as looser sliding shovel restrictions are beneficial to the belt master).

These unique skills are not only the personal symbols of the stars, but also become symbols of football culture. Even if technology helps the evolution of defensive tactics, the "unsolvable" moment will still exist forever due to the flash of genius. When you see Son Heung-min shooting in a straight line and Vinicius' rainbow, it may be the beginning of the next legendary skill!
