How to Do the Reverse Elastico and Why It Matters in Football Training
The Reverse Elastico is a creative dribbling move that uses an inside-to-outside motion of the foot to mislead defenders. The player first touches the ball inward before snapping it outward in one smooth motion, forcing the defender to commit in the wrong direction. This skill sharpens close control, builds agility, and adds unpredictability to your attacking game.
