Step over
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "about".
The step over (also known as the pedalada, the denílson, or the scissors, or the roeder shuffleLua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.) is a dribbling move, or feint, in association football, used to fool a defensive player into thinking the offensive player, in possession of the ball, is going to move in a direction they do not intend to move in.[1]
According to several sources, the move was invented by Argentine winger Pedro Calomino in the 1910s[2][3] Other Argentine player, Luis Indaco, became famous for the same skill during his career at Rosario Central in the 1920s and early 1930s.[4]
The movement was first used in Europe by Dutch player Law Adam, who was famous for it in the late 1920s/early 1930s, which earned him the nickname "Adam the Scissorsman".[5] It was later also used in Italy by Amedeo Biavati in the 1930s[6] and was used by former Newcastle United player Glenn Roeder in the 1980s.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.
The step over was popularised in the mid-1990s by Brazilian footballer and global superstar Ronaldo.[7] Nowadays, the technique is in widespread use by attacking players all over the world, such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar.[8]
