How Do You Cross With a Rabona in FIFA 22?
The first thing we need to master this kick is patience. Writing how a rabona is done, and you reading it, won't be very hard. But as always, bringing some things onto the pitch is harder than it looks. While controlling your player with the left analog stick, you can move into the position to cross. Then, if you are attacking from the left side, turn the left analog stick to the right, and if you are attacking from the right side, turn it to the left, and press Square (or whatever your cross button is). You need to be pressing R2 at the same time. In short, while holding R2, you need to time the left analog stick 180 degrees opposite to where you are attacking and press Square at the same moment. If you time it together, you will see your player make a rabona cross.

So how is a rabona shot done? The rabona is exactly the same as the crossing system: again, while holding R2, we point the left analog stick opposite to the direction we are heading. But this time we press the shoot button instead of the cross button. You can take the rabona shot with R2 + O + the left analog stick turned 90 degrees opposite to the diagonal direction you are heading.
