The Cruyff Turn

This legendary turn was invented by the Dutch Superstar Johan Cruyff. This is how to do it.

Johan Cruyff

Place your standing foot past the ball and pullback the other leg to feint a pass or shot. The standing foot needs to be far enough away from the ball to allow the ball to go behind it.

The Cruyff Turn

Instead of shooting or passing swing your leg over the ball and use the inside of your foot to flick the ball behind your standing leg. Turn so that your facing in the opposite direction.

Now you can speed away with the ball and now you are ready for your next match.
