Seal Dribble
The seal dribble is a form of dribbling in association football. It is performed by flicking the ball up from the ground onto the head, whereby the player then proceeds to run past opponents, whilst bouncing the ball on top of his forehead, imitating a seal. The seal dribble makes it very hard for the defending team to challenge legally. Kerlon, a retired footballer who last played for Slovak side Spartak Trnava in 2017, is historically the most prolific user of this move. The Italian forward Marco Nappi was also known to use the seal dribble. His most famous use of this move came in the first leg of the semi-final of the 1989–90 UEFA Cup, against Werder Bremen; during the match, Nappi picked up the ball in his area and ran 40 metres with the ball bouncing along his forehead along the right flank. Legality Performing a seal dribble in a game is legally dubious under the 2019/20 version of the Laws Of The Game. Law 12 which covers fouls, defines "playing in a dangerous manner" a ...
