The Cut Back
With the inside of the foot, cut the ball back behind your body. For example, when using your right foot to cut the ball back, plant your left foot to the side of the ball and then bring your right foot up to cut the ball back. Do the reverse if you are cutting the ball back with your left foot.
This can often look like a fake shot. Dribbling away from a defender into space, you chop the ball back with the inside of the foot, then dribble off in that opposite direction. Start by dribbling the ball forward and plant your left foot near the ball as your right leg "winds-up" for a big kick or shot. Instead of shooting, however, bring the right foot down and "chop" the ball backwards and underneath your left leg.
