The Outside Elastico is a simple beginner move. Use this move to cut inside from the flanks. To practice, start by grabbing a cone, bag, or shoe and then placing it on the ground. Place yourself approximately five steps from the marker. Start dribbling in that direction. As you reach the cone, touch your ball to the outside and then quickly to the inside. You can fool a defender with this soft outside touch. The second touch should be more powerful so you can correct the trajectory of the ball.
Practice whenever you get an opportunity. Bring your ball with you and when you have an extra minute, do some drills. You can even use the time you spend walking to practice ball control.

Now that you’ve gone over the information here you shouldn’t have trouble putting these things into practice. Dedication and practice are the keys. The detail included here will help you understand how to use each tip yourself.
