How to Do the Roulette and Why It Matters in Football Training
The Roulette, also known as the Maradona turn, is a 360-degree spin move used to shield the ball and escape pressure. By using both feet to roll the ball while rotating your body, you can quickly change direction and maintain possession. This move is ideal for tight spaces, crowded midfields, and breaking through aggressive marking.
