In most cases This is the first one-on-one skill that everybody ever learned and the point of the step over is to make your opponent think you're going One way before suddenly changing direction The move is really simple Use your weak foot to make a full circle around the ball and just as you place your foot back on the ground Tap the ball to the opposite direction with the outside of your strong foot Once again The key here is to drop your shoulder and use your upper body to make it look like you're heading one way Before leaving your defender confused Number four is unofficially called the roll and it really is one of the most basic yet effective skills to have in your locker This move works the best when your defender tries to attack for the ball and you simply roll it out of his reach The rule of thumb here is that if the ball is slightly on the right side in front of you You want to roll the ball with your right foot and vice versa as you need to approach the ball With the inside of your foot first again, it's not the flashiest skill in the world But you'll be surprised of how many pro players rely on this very basic skill Number five is the step over turn that just like the cryp turn should be used for changing direction when your defender is breathing down your neck Start off by swinging your strong foot over the ball before placing it firmly on the ground in front of the ball You then use the same foot to tap the ball to the opposite direction with the outside of your foot Needless to say It's absolutely crucial to bend your knees and use your upper body as a way of giving even more effects for the skill The step over turn looks cool It's super basic and you might just break some ankles with it if you perform it correctly.
