Roulette in football, also known as the Marseille turn or 360-degree turn, was popularized by French footballer Zinedine Zidane. However, the move was not actually invented by Zidane. The roulette move was first performed by Argentine football legend Diego Maradona in the 1980s.
Maradona showcased this incredible skill during his playing career, using the roulette to spin away from defenders while maintaining control of the ball. The move involves dragging the ball with one foot while turning 360 degrees to evade opponents. While Zidane made the move famous in European football during the 1990s and early 2000s, credit for inventing this dazzling skill belongs to Diego Maradona.
The roulette has since become one of the most celebrated skills in football, used by many players worldwide to create space and beat defenders in tight situations. |
