‘The Art Of Ball Control’: For Those Who Appreciate A Sweet First-Touch (Video)

By Chris Wright

Presenting: ‘The Art of Ball Control’ – just sit back and enjoy a cavalcade of a selection of the finest first-touches to have ever graced the game…

(Health warning: May contain several traces of Dennis Bergkamp)

How grand to see a bit of Deportivo’s oft-forgotten treasure Djalminha in his pomp. Doesn’t life just seem a little better after all that?

    Is it me, or is this kind of epic trickster ball not happening much anymore?

    Bergkamp, Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, Young Ronaldinho are all coming to end.
    Not that messi isn’t awesome, but those bergkamp goals with such creative intelligent design almost – are MEZMERIZING imho.

    @MrMac – yeah, there are fewer such tricks but don’t forget all those from this video happened over a 15-20 year span.

    As for Messi – bad example. Check his first against Arsenal from this year. He does have the skill to pull off something like some in this video. Usually there’s no need for that though :P

    This video gave me a boner.

    The Zidane goal against Norway made me jizz in my pants!

    That’s a fantastic compilation.
    I think this first touch by Drogba (which he then crosses for a goal) deserves to be in there.
