This is the move that made Ronaldo almost impossible to defend in one versus one.
He picks up the ball…
and squares up against his defender.
Watch the defender’s body.
He’s slightly opened up towards the outside…
ready to stop Ronaldo if he goes that way.
But if Ronaldo cuts inside…
there’s support waiting.
So the outside looks like the better option.
But getting there…
is the hard part.
Ronaldo drives forward…
and throws a step over.
Nothing.
No reaction.
And that’s not a mistake.
