Revellino is one of Brazil's great players. This technique is the reverse of the scissors, in that the player does not open the blades of the scissors around the front of the ball, but instead they close the blades around the front. In fact, it looks as though they cross their legs.
It is important to drop the hips so they turn slightly in the direction of the step. If the player does not drop their hips, the feint (fake) does not work.
Step around the front of the ball, put that foot on the ground, then bring the other foot forward and put it beside the stepping foot. This is called 'catching your balance'. After they catch their balance they will be able to perform a more explosive push in the opposite direction of the step.
After pushing the ball with the outside of the foot, players should finish the move by taking a touch with the inside of the foot behind the defender.
It is possible to do two, three, or if you watch Christiano Ronaldo, five or six, of these Revellino step overs before pushing the ball. The key is to keep the ball moving and dropping the hips with each step.
