The Akka

The Akka soccer trick became famous thanks to Ronaldinho. The Akka is considered his signature move. Ronaldinho used the Akka a lot, especially when he played for FC Barcelona.

The Akka is a soccer trick that shouldn't be underestimated. It can be very hard to master. Make sure you've practiced the Akka enough before you start using it in matches.

The Elastico is another trick Ronaldinho used a lot. The Akka and the Elastico are very similar. I suggest you practice them at the same time.

There are a lot of variations on the Akka. For example, there's the Akka 3000. On this page, you'll find the normal Akka.

Tips and Advices

Don't lift the ball too high. That would make the Akka harder for you to control and easier to defend for your opponent.

When you snap outside, hit the ball a bit harder than you would do with an Elastico. Also, touch the ball a bit lower. This will make it easier to lift the ball.
