Trick of the week: Backward elastico

He’s the King of Futsal, perhaps the world's most skilful player, and now the two-time Futsal World Cup winner has produced an exclusive skills clinic especially for FourFourTwo Performance. 

In our sixth installment from the brilliant Brazilian he showcases the backward elastico. With a swirl of his magic wand, Falcao shifts the ball behind his front foot, before transferring it from from left to right and firing it out in front of him like a pinball machine regurgitating a metal ball.

Caution: This skill requires rubber limbs and crash mats.
