Cruijff Turn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cruijff Turn-often spelled Cruyff Turn outside the Netherlands; see IJ (digraph)); was perfected by Johan Cruijff. To do this move, the person would look to pass or cross the ball. However, instead of kicking it, he would drag the ball behind his planted foot with the inside of his other foot and turn through 180 degrees and accelerate away outside a bemused defender. The trick was famously employed by Cruijff in the 1974 World Cup, first being seen in Holland's match against Sweden, and was soon widely copied by other players around the world.
