He used to have the ball between his feet and leap forward through the space between two defenders. It might have seemed easy, but was actually very difficult to implement.
Blanco played as a forward and usually employed this trick on the flanks, or near the opposition goal line. He used this strategy to beat the opposition full-backs and penetrate into the penalty box via the wings.
More importantly, no other player has been able to replicate this move on a football pitch, which goes to show just how difficult it was.
