There are a bunch of things we can do now online and we don’t even have to leave the house for it. It makes our everyday life much easier and saves us a lot of time. And of course, I’ve also enjoyed the many opportunities of online options, from entertainment to work or different researches.
For example I don’t cook at home that often, but when I do, I search for quick and easy recipes online. Half an hour, or max. an hour, and the delicious meal is ready. Of course, sometimes I don’t feel like cooking, or I get home late from work, and I order something ready-made. Of course, that’s also online.
I enjoy the opportunities for a fun time guaranteed by an Online casino, as well as playing online games when I have some free time. I remember, my friends and I used to stay up all night playing online strategy games. We’d gather at someone’s house, begin the game early in the evening and play until the early hours of the morning. Then we’d catch up on sleep during the next day. But I usually enjoy the Online casino alone.
Since I was a teenager I’ve followed sportscasts, championships and Olympics, especially football ⚽. I am a big fan of FC Barcelona. But that’s not the point now, it iss about the time I saw Andrés Vasquez on TV playing for Sweden in 2007. It was the Örebro SK vs IFK Gothenburg game. What a Rabona, what a goal, og my dear God!
A football trich with a great story
This is a somehow simply technique, where the football player kicks the ball, andt his legs are crossed in an attempt to confuse the opponent. Now it is a popular game trick pranticed by professional footballers, fan or even influencers to show off.
By the way, very few of us know that the name football of this trick comes from the Spanish language and actually means plays hooky (or hookey), which means being away from school without permission. The first record of this trick being documented dates back to 1948. A photo of Argentinian football striker Ricardo Infante dribbling appeared in the sports newspaper El Gráfico. The newspaper showed the football hero in a school uniform, with the caption: El infante que se hizo la Rabona, which in English means The kid who plays hooky.
The first video of a Rabona was taken by Brazilian soccer star Pelé in 1957. He scored a goal in the São Paulo state championship using this technique, which has since only grown in fame among football players. Since then, many famous players have used this trick in real life, such as the above mentioned Andrés Vasquez, Erik Lamela, Diego Perotti, Fernando Redondo, Jordan Henderson and the list goes on 🥅.
Being a good player is not enough, you need some tricks & kicks
There are, of course, many other tricks in this famous game, which brilliant players had mastered to perfection over time. I’m not a professional footballer, I just consider myself a big fan, but I’ve seen some of these tricks live or on screen. And I’ve even tried them. Sometimes we go with the buddies to the artificial pitch to blow off steam. But only for the fun of it, we kick the ball around on an amateur level 😁.
The most common football tricks:
- the trivela (or curl), which actually means twisting the balls direction while kicking with the outside of the foot, in order to tick the goalkeeper. Then there is the
- Pelé runaroud move, named after the famous football legend. This is a technique that involves moving very close to the opponent, running in circles around him with the ball, passing and then catching the ball again. There is also
- the pedal (or step over or roeder shuffle), which is also designed to confuse the opponent. This is when the football player pretends to move the ball on a different direction and then suddenly completely changes the path. There is also the
- Cruyff turn (or Crujiff turn), named after Johan Cruyff, the professional Dutch player. This is thought of as the player with the ball taking up a position as if he is about to pass the ball on a certain direction, then suddenly turns and kicks it in a different one.
