A backheel always seems to be preceded by the word ‘cheeky’.

It’s almost as if a footballer is rude for even attempting a backheel, whether that be a pass or a trick to beat a man.

Call it cheeky, call it ridiculous, you might even say it’s ludicrous.

The trajectory of that ball makes no sense.

How did it end up in the top corner?

Science.
