What to do when the pass is not properly sent? Then you just deflect the ball from behind your back!

Look at this classic goal from the 2011 Champions Trophy.  Spain, back then one of the most important teams in the world, defeated England by 8-1 and this goal, was scored showing a perfect and sneaky deflection. The ball was not sent to the front of the run of the Spanish attacker so he decided to use a one hand deflection from behind his back. The result was a perfect goal!
