Step over
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The step over (also known as the pedalada, the denílson, or the scissors) is a dribbling move, or feint, in football, used to fool a defensive player into thinking the offensive player, in possession of the ball, is going to move in a direction he does not intend to move in.[1] The move was reportedly invented by Dutch player Law Adam who was famous for it in the late 1920s/early 1930s, earning the nickname "Adam the Scissorsman",[2] and was used in Italy by Amedeo Biavati in the 1930s.[3] It was popularised in the mid-1990s by global superstar Ronaldo.[4] Nowadays, the technique is in widespread use by attacking players all over the world, such as Cristiano Ronaldo.[5][6]
