Top 10 Freestyle Tricks of 2007/8

This video does exactly what it says on the tin.

#10 Nathan Dyer (Southampton)
#9 Ricardo Quaresma (Porto)
#8 Frank Songo’o (Sheffield Wednesday)
#7 Ricardo Quaresma (Porto, again)
#6 Robin van Persie (Arsenal)
#5 Nani (Man Utd, controversial)
#4 Zdeněk Šenkeřík (Slavia Prague)
#3 Niko Kranjčar (Portsmouth)
#2 Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd)
#1 Adel Taarabt (Spurs)

Some great little moments in there, and I like the replays. Some of those skills are so slick that’s it difficult to tell exactly what happened.

I’d take issue with Nani’s inclusion at #5, not so much because he was taunting (or not, depending on who you support I suppose) but mostly because skills don’t count if you’re going the wrong way.

My top three looks like this:

1) Niko Kranjčar – lot of players around him, and none of them get the ball
2) Zdeněk Šenkeřík – still can’t tell what happened, but the defender looks very much beaten
3) Robin van Persie – balls aren’t supposed to stick to your foot that tightly
