Knuckleball
Knuckleball the initially used to be known as Folha Seca was first invented by Brazilian star Didi, but presently these skills can be seen from CR7’s dexterous foot where the ball would hit with no or little spin, leading it to swing unpredictably towards the goal.

Up until Friday, Manchester City appeared to be the most likely destination for the Portugal striker.
However, on Friday afternoon, City stated that they were no longer interested after Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes, held negotiations with Juventus officials in Turin on Wednesday about a prospective move to the Etihad Stadium.
“Manchester United is delighted to confirm that the club has reached an agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, subject to agreement of personal terms, visa and medical” it says.
Ronaldo's Juventus deal, at an estimated €31 million each season after-tax, will expire in less than a year.
