Maridonna!

[aqsoccer03]

sorry if someone already has this thread, but i figured out how to do a maridonna. im very proud of myself . In case you dont already know, you hold R2 (walk) and swirl the right analog stick in a circle. Its amazing! using the R2 is the best way to beat by flatfooted defenders

what is maridonna?

 

[aqsoccer03]

its when you step on the ball and roll around it. its hard to explain. its like doing a circle with the ball. i just beat a defender with it and ripped a shot on goal

i guess he means the 360 degree spin?

 

[JamesHutto]

thats not what its called

The 360 spin that you are referring to is actually called the Garrincha. Named after the famous Brazilian Manuel Francisco dos Santos. He was an awesome dribbler and helped Brazil win two of their World Cup titles in 1958 and 1962.

Just a little history lesson for those of you who think its a Maradona.

I'm guessing you can only do this with certain players.

 

[Stuntman]

I love the new spelling of Maradona...ROFL!

 

[Batistuta]

actually you can do it with everybody (some mite not be able to do it successfully though.....eg lose ball control, etc)

 

[Stuntman]

Everybody?

 

[Batistuta]

yep everybody (well, anybody....)

[GEORGE7]

how can i do this on pc????

 

[angel21]

on pc hold shift+C then press RIGHT UP LEFT or RIGHT DOWN LEFT for rotation in the opposite direction. don`t press all the cursors together, press one by one but quickly.


I call it Zizou spin also :Bow:

 

[Batistuta]

Yeah in recent years i've seein zizou do it more than anybody else. Veron deserves a shout too as well a Del Piero and Davids.

Actually in last year's CL Juve vs Real, Zizou tried to do it and failed, then Del Piero tried and failed as well, then Davids put both of them to shame.
