Outside hook

It may be simple but this is a very effective method of escaping the attentions of a tight marker. Take the ball forward slowly and then at the last moment bring it away from your opponent using the outside of your preferred boot and race away in the opposite direction. It is a skill French winger Franck Ribéry has mastered to great effect on the club and international stage.
