FIFA 22 – How to Perform La Croqueta

by Falagar / FIFA 22, Game Guides / 21 Jul 2021

The La Croqueta is a skill move named after a Spanish snack. It’s as crafty and unexpected on the soccer pitch as the snack is delightful to taste. The footballer Andres Iniesta made this technique popular. Imagine it as a quick dance move where the player switches the ball rapidly from one foot to the other, leaving their opponents confused. It’s particularly useful when you’re in the penalty box, setting up a clear shot.

However, you should be mindful of a certain skill prerequisite. The player you control in the game must have at least a four-star skill moves rating to perform the La Croqueta. Once you’ve confirmed your player has the necessary skill level, you’re ready to execute the move in your game. Let’s explore how to do this.

PlayStation 4 and 5

On PlayStation 4 & 5, you need to hold down the L1 button. Simultaneously, tilt the right analog stick sideways. The direction you choose should match the direction your player is facing. If done correctly, you’ll see your player smoothly shifting the ball from one foot to the other, making it difficult for defenders to take possession.

Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S

For Xbox One & Xbox Series X|S users, the technique is pretty much the same, but with a different button. Instead of L1, you’ll press and hold the LB button while also moving the right analog stick sideways in line with your player’s direction. Again, if you execute it perfectly, your player will deftly switch the ball to their other foot to keep it out of opponents’ reach.
