Freestyle football is the art of juggling with a football using feet, knees, chest, shoulders, and head while simultaneously performing creative, skillful moves and keeping the ball airborne.
Early this century, Nike began an advertising campaign which relied heavily on the freestyle form of football, including video clips of freestyle performances. People were able to see famous players such as Ronaldinho and Edgar Davids play displaying their technical skills. Many link such mass media attention to the start of the freestyle craze.
Freestyling Tricks:
• One well-known move is known as the "Maradona 7", in which the player must play the ball with the right foot, then the left foot, then the right thigh, then the left thigh, then the right shoulder, then the left shoulder, and finally the head.
• "Around the World" is also popular; in this move, the player plays the ball off of one foot, and that foot then circles up and over the ball before returning underneath to play the ball again.
• "Stall" moves involve catching the ball in a stationary position. Many freestylers are able to catch the ball on their foreheads, the backs of their necks, or wedged between their heel and the back of their thigh.
Firstly here is the Brazilian one man show - Ronaldinho freestyle!
