First-Touch Cruyff Turn Behind Leg

Play the ball against the wall and redirect the rebound first-time using an inside-of-the-foot Cruyff hook behind the opposite standing leg across the cone.

Key points

  • Address the incoming rebound with the foot furthest from the cone
  • Hook the ball at a 90-degree angle behind the standing leg on your first touch
  • Shift your weight rapidly to follow the ball and pass back with the opposite foot

Common mistakes

Taking an unnecessary extra setup touch instead of executing the Cruyff flick in one fluid receiving motion.
