Crystal Palace ace Yannick Bolasie says his dazzling skills come from playing park football.
Bolasie insists he didn't pick up his jinks and tricks from a training manual.
"It's got to do with playing in the park, with 30 people, all trying to shoot into one goal when you're playing with one ball," Bolasie told the Daily Mail. "So, literally you're dribbling with the ball and someone's there and you have to turn this way and then turn left and then turn right, because the park was so packed. So you have to turn as quick as you can. A lot of that unpredictability does come from that, I guess.
"I think it has definitely got to do with playing free football. A lot of people from Harlesden who used to play would definitely agree with that. And then the obstacles as well."
The obstacles?
"It wasn't just people, it was obstacles as well. This could be in the way and you have to dribble round that or jump over it or flick the ball over it. Things like the children's slide or the little house they play in. You had to go under that.
"So some people would kick the ball through the little house and run round, or kick through it and go under. If someone new came to the park and it was you against him, you would know how to use the obstacles so much better, so they'd be confused. I'd get the ball and bounce it off them and I'd know where it was going to go because I'd done it so many times, which he wouldn't."
