The Cruyff Turn

The great Johann. Two things in this image sequence (oh let me get it animated) are to note the almost unmoglich shifting of the body's center of gravity at the same time as the change in momentum. Note also that Cruyff came to a dead stop as he stamped on the ball, causing a 'thud' identical to the sound the ball would have made had it been crossed. This allowed him to gain an extra yard or two on his defender NOT by super acceleration, but by letting the other player run on. Second, though the manouvre is referred to as the Cruyff Turn, and very few players can actually integrate it into a competitive game (Ronaldinho can, Zidane did) old Johann has not thought to copyright the sequence. Why is it absurd tio suggest that a sequence of self-invented physical movements cannot be copyrighted, while a sequence of words, images or notes can?
This may seem far removed from filmmaking, but in fact it is not.
