Looks like @spud's nailed on to win this already. Robbored the 5000-1 outsider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 One skill that is very simple in theory but very difficult to do is to stand feet apart with the ball between them and simply pass the ball from right to left foot increasing in speed as you try it. Very very difficult but not flashy to watch so not many ball artists actually do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite........no player regardless of how skilled they are could do what I described during a proper match. They would end up getting dispossessed within seconds.

Robbored Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Perhaps I didn't explain it very clearly. Anyone doing what I describe would have to be in a standing still position. Feet slightly apart roughly 2ft with the ball between them. Pass the ball from foot to foot as quickly as you can but keeping the ball under control. Very difficult to do more than a few times.

deadredfred Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 40 at a push. I can however still flick it up and catch it on the back of my neck. And as anyone who knows anything about football will agree, it's probably the most useful, necessary skill to have for the modern game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but what I described is passing the ball between feet repeatedly and as quickly as possible and keeping the ball under control. Try it - and see how difficult it is.
