Hook it and spin away. Drive at the marker, hook the ball firmly with the outside of the foot to turn away from him, and accelerate into the space.

Groove the croqueta. Shift the ball quickly from one foot to the other, inside-inside, keeping it close, and drive away to finish, with the shift clean before pressure is added.

Shift it inside-inside and slip through the gap. Draw the defenders, shift the ball quickly across your body onto the far foot, and glide through the gap to drive away and finish.

Carry under control and stop it on the line. Touch the ball every stride to keep it close, then bring it to a dead stop on the line.
