Most difficult footballing skill

[Howard_lfc]

Never mind juggling the ball when running, or the Cruyff turn, what is the most difficult footballing skill to master?

Is it heading the ball, trapping it, volleying it, or controlling it?

Maybe it's the long pass, swerved pass or passing with the 'wrong' foot?

Or maybe it's tackling, dribbling, scoring or saving goals?

I'd say being able to instantly bring the ball under control is the most difficult as you never know from which angle the ball will come to you and you have to use different parts of the body to do it.

Probably the ability to run with the ball under close control, at pace.

There's less than ten players in the Premiership who can do it properly.

Nah, missed it...

Nah, missed it...

Shame...

One of the goals in the top 10 was Mancini of Roma...he beat a defender on the left edge of the penalty box by doing about fecking 20 stepovers in one go, at about 100mph, which left the defender totally bamboozled. It was a fecking sight to behold.

I'd sign him, just based on that. Awesome to see
