Skill of the week: CRUYFF TURN

Description
CRUYFF
Push the ball forward, fake kick with inside of foot, but instead pull ball behind the standing leg and change directions.
One step move that uses the inside of the foot to "chop" the ball underneath the support leg in a radically new direction. The key is setting up the support leg in the correct position, and also swiveling the body a little, to make room for the ball to pass beneath the leg.
Note that the sole (cleats) are not part of this move. Furthermore, Coerver and Vogelsinger often describe the "fake kick" motion associated with the beginning this move, and then that same leg "chops" the ball underneath the support leg.

Johan Cruyff Dribbling Compilation
Hendrik Johannes Cruijff, internationally spelled Cruyff; (25 April 1947 – 24 March 2016) was a Dutch professional football player and coach. As a player, he won the Ballon d'Or three times, in 1971, 1973, and 1974. Cruyff was an exponent of the football philosophy known as Total Football explored by Rinus Michels, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in football history. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dutch football rose from obscurity to become a powerhouse in the sport. Cruyff led the Netherlands to the final of the 1974 FIFA World Cup and received the Golden Ball as player of the tournament. At the 1974 finals, he executed a feint that subsequently was named after him, the "Cruyff Turn", a move widely replicated in the modern game. Wearing the number 14 jersey, he set a trend for wearing shirt numbers outside the usual starting line-up numbers of one to eleven.
