No its about the angle 📐 and its a coincidence the clips you see are posed such that hes to the left of the goal post. He could go right if he wanted to. As long as he sees an opening. Facing a well executed stepover/scissors is really overwhelming… you engage too soon , you will 100% miss. You wait too long , thats just giving them more options.
90% of the time he went left after the stepover, yet defenders couldn't anticipate that. What is incredible is Ronaldo was right footed, but his left was almost as good, otherwise he wouldn't be as effective after going left post steopver.
Yes, his brutal changes of direction with the left foot are often more efficient than his actual step over. Also, it's just a compilation where you don't see the many times where he lost the ball because the defender went left at the same time as him. Even on this video, you can see he was in trouble when the defender didn't bite on it, he just sprint left and force a shot, and everybody thinks the step over made the difference.
Occassionally he would go right, as in some of his famous goals where he would veer towards the center rather than the flank of the penalty box. This has always been my recommended approach because you open up the angle to the goal rather than closing it + more ability for collaboration. Even if the ball lands more near the goofy foot. Anyway and other times he would just run straight through you, in between 2 defenders, or give a panna. The man was a storm. I'm realizing sometimes soccer players we learn the stepover, but it's not just the stepovers or the amount, it's the pace and what you're able to do in-between the stepovers. The feints, the pseudo-taps, the rolls to maintain speed, Ronaldo mastered it like noone else.
You'd be making the correct one :) I still love Cristiano's stepovers though too. People say they're not effective but there's plenty of videos with him going past defenders with them. Plus Cristiano's are super fast. But R9's are probably still better...
They said "He goes left".. but in front of him defenders like 😵💫 they could'nt stop him.. all his videos play in slow motion to see what he did.. "phenomenon"..💪
That’s a great opening , legends Thuram and Desailly couldn’t see the ball I think that’s worth a ballon d’or when your peers can talk like that about you
Dinho stepover is a bit effective compared to robinho and cristiano He invented a stepover deriative where when he was standing with the ball he slowly push the ball using the inside of his feet then stepover it and lean towards left, Mbappé does it too nowadays
0:34 this is the masterpiece that I liked he did stepovers then body feint that's why I love because when I try body feint after my stepovers i always can't control my body but this one is my fav
The greatest forward to have ever played in my opinion. Could have been the greatest of all time had he not tore his patellar tendon twice. There is a reason why people clamored and talked about him when he was in his prime. He makes elite strikers like Lewandowski and Harry Kane and the likes today look average.
Dribbling pointlessly and wasting more chances does not make you a better striker. He's not a better striker or else he would score more goals. He's more a winger anyway.
@@jeannieschaldach2034 tf it's not about show boating it's to get pass players you can go and watch cr7 to see a bunch of them which turns out to go no where
The ones on 0:35 are slightly better, he has his body positioned over the ball which gives more power as opposed to when you have to 'kick out' a bit , this way he powers it with more speed. Like a flash.
R9 - no one does it better. All these comparisons to other players, please! Show me one person who has as many step overs against goal keepers for goodness sake. No one has scored more after a dribble than R9 thus making him the most effective as well. A lot of players can do step overs in an open field or in one on one situations, but honestly R9 was a different breed. Some forget he was a front man and usually operating in the most crowded places. Hands down the greatest dribbler of all time. Everyone would be talking of him as the GOAT right now if not for his injuries.
you know why i love this? because any goaltending coach has told their goalie to cut down the angle, but when he's near you, you may as well cash your chips in
I think greatest stepovers kings are imo, in order of the best: Ronaldo, then Figo, Then Ronaldinho. Ronaldo did have the qualities of Figo and Ronaldinho: when he does the step over, the ball sticks near his foot like he never pushed it, and with the speed execution of Ronnie, no wonder defenders like Thuram and Desailly were saying it was like the ball disappears, magic... Without a doubt, best pure striker to ever grace this sport till now.
He mostly goes left because defenders would prefer to push him to dummy the ball to the left side where his left foot is weaker than his right foot. So defenders were ready to commit to intercept a right sided Puah from a stepover. However this is not a problem for Ronaldo who could score from the angle from a right side or drive in with the left side. In most cases Ronaldo was more than happy to drive left further to provide and assist into the penalty box for an incoming forward or attacking midfielder to connect with his pass or cross
There’s absolutely no way to correctly guess what he’s gonna do because I noticed he doesn’t have a single set step over. He has several different ones, he does the 1 step over but he also does the 2 and 3 and also a 1 step over followed by a short flick of the ball over the defenders foot. He has a million different moves to attack u with and the worst part about it is that u don’t know what he’s gonna do. A nightmare for defenders.
The defenders know that it's left side Ronaldo chooses when he does step over but they don't know if he is going to do a step over or just turn to right. So the direction actually don't matter.
People will always have they’re goats 🐐 I believe no one is the greatest of all time it’s a personal opinion debate, the player that you grew up watching that makes you feel like a kid in the park when you watch them play and for me r9 will always be my 🐐
Ronaldo is right footed, and he always cuts in to the right. The step over was his 2nd option. As a defender you had to either defend him cutting in or stepping over and because he was too fast, you’d fail either ways. Mission impossible.
Even more impressive than feints and sleepovers was Ronaldo's ball control at very high speed. No wonder Ronaldo was great, but I think Adriano could have been better; as Zanetti once said, he was a mixture of both Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, with a much more powerful shot and physique!
Hossam can you upload ronaldo(luis figo allstars) vs mcdonald's 02/07/2005 charity match, ah i was forgetting: great video, i hope the stupid copyright will not give you anymore bother :)
I have seen C.Ronaldo do 20 stepovers and the defender is still in front of him. Real Ronaldo does 1 stepover then it is byebye defender. C.Ronaldo has no clue when it comes to efficiency!
Interestingly Ronaldo only really started doing stepovers when he was at Inter. He then perfected the multiple stepovers when he played for Madrid. You hardly ever see him doing stepovers before his time at Inter.
@@CCCoNeTiMe Wow, you found one example of him performing one stepover at Barcelona. I never said that he didn't do any before, but he really only started doing them regularly with Inter and later. I know almost all of his matches, so don't tell me stories.
You are right. I think he invented to face THE BEST DEFENDERS of Italy. He needed to be more effective rather than beautiful to play against Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro and so on....
Aung Ye Tun exactly the same with Maradona at Napoli he said he had to do everything faster because the defenders were simply too good and would always be there and they most of the time would actually foul him.
He started to do more stepovers at Madrid because he lost his speed. So instead of bulldozing the defenders like in his early days, he relied more on wrong footing the defenders.
@@Tejasmawai No Messi's Talent is on par with R9 Ronaldo His speed was Mbappe's speed on steroids, so much so that you needed a Bugatti to outrace him and has the stepovers and skillset equivalent to CR7 Fun Fact: Messi's Second Idol was Ronaldo Nazario But if you are joking with me I will find you and I will sue you!

Cuz of the pace
Defenders know that it's left but they don't know if he is going to do a step over or just turn to right.
