[1] The seal dribble makes it very hard for the defending team to challenge legally.
Kerlon, a retired footballer who last played for Slovak side Spartak Trnava in 2017, is historically the most prolific user of this move.
A famous case was when Atletico Mineiro's Coelho fouled Kerlon after he performed the seal dribble with a hard elbow attack to the face.
As a result, Coelho was initially banned for 120 days[6] although this was reduced to five games after an appeal.
