Seven schools of free kicks in world football
1 This free kick taken by Xuantie Epee in the 1997 Four Nations Tournament can be called The miracle of world football, Roberto Carlos has since established his personal symbol of heavy cannon fire. He has also become a well-deserved representative of the Black Iron Epee School in the football world. As the saying goes, "A heavy sword has no edge, and great skill has no workmanship." Most of Carlos's free kicks do not focus on subtlety and angles, but purely on strength. Carlos, who is only 1.68 meters tall, has a 100-meter speed of 10.6 seconds and a thigh diameter of more than 20 centimeters, which makes his explosiveness and absolute strength unparalleled. His powerful shots include a variety of methods, straight lines, arcs, and inside. Instep and instep, it can do almost anything.
But speaking of the originator of the Black Iron Epee Sect, we have to go back 30 years. In the 1970 World Cup, Carlos's predecessor, the Brazilian madman Rivelino, had such a shocking performance. The pen set a precedent for a powerful free kick in the history of the World Cup. Nowadays, Brazil's third generation of sluggers has also emerged. The 22-year-old Adriano's shots seem to be more intimidating than his predecessors. The straight-line cannon ball is his specialty.
Compared with many Brazilian free kick masters, Dutch heavy tank Koeman once also had a well-known name in the world. This goal in the 1992 European Champions Cup final can be regarded as the best in the history of the Champions League. A free kick example. Totti, the prince of Rome, once traveled around the world with his chic and elegant skills, but his free kick skills did not require elegance. The strength was to use fast to control slow, heavy to control light, and hard to overcome softness. Although the German Tanat is not well-known in the world, his original alternative moves of one stroke, one step and one shot can even become a school of his own among the epee sects, and they have been tried and tested repeatedly. The Norwegian Riise is a prolific shooter with heavy artillery in recent years. His goal against Manchester United is a classic. As the saying goes, "The heavy sword is unsheathed and the killing intent is unparalleled."
2 Circles Moon Scimitar
The strength of the Black Iron Heavy Sword and the femininity of the Full Moon Scimitar have their own factions in world football, but they are fighting openly and secretly, making it difficult to compare. Beckham has the most perfect arc in the world at his feet. Colombian goalkeeper Mondragon became the first witness of this arc in the 1998 World Cup. Beckham's free throw method is unique. In order to emphasize the speed of the ball and the degree of the arc, he must try his best to twist his whole body and touch the ball laterally with his inner instep at an almost zero angle to the ball. This can maximize the impact of the ball. Internal spin speed, thereby increasing the spin of the ball. British research experts once took Beckham's free kick as their subject of exploration. They called it the Beckham arc, and this wonderful arc has become the most lethal weapon on the green field.
Mikhailovic, known as Miss Bergwo, is the most legendary free kick master in world football. He once performed a unique free kick against Sampdoria in the 1998-99 season. The free kick hat trick has made him famous ever since. Different from Beckham's fixed arc, Miha's free kick adjusts the arc at any time according to the position of the opponent's wall, and uses his calf as much force as possible to confuse the goalkeeper. It is powerful, heavy, with tricky angles and strong rotation. The perfect combination makes his free kicks in the 25-35 meter area full of magic. After scoring two free kicks against Roma this season, Miha still maintains the Serie A historical record of 27 free kicks.
In the 1998-99 season, the then 22-year-old Uruguay teenager Recoba used two free kicks to penetrate Toldo's door, establishing his status as a free kick master for the first time. His free kicks have weird arcs and tricky angles. It is said that he once shot through a wall of seven opponents in one game. In the 2002-03 season, this free kick that had almost gone off the track finally got into the door of the Bologna team and was considered a landmark work by Recoba.
The South Americans' outstanding footwork often creates incredible set-piece masters. Assuncao, who has no advantages in other aspects, is also an expert at taking free kicks as penalty kicks. He has already scored 5 free kicks in La Liga this season. The ball was scored and topped the list. The tallest free kick master in world football is undoubtedly the Dutchman Van Hooydonk. His height of 1.93 meters has not affected the accuracy of his footwork at all. His free kicks are won by arc instead of strength. He once set a single record. An astonishing record of 12 free kicks scored in the season. Juninho, the core midfielder of Lyon team, is known as a monster. His free kicks are erratic and unpredictable. In the past three years, his free kick goals accounted for 38 of the total goals. He is also called any free kick in the world today. A first-rate master of the ball.
3 Nianhuazhi
Nuanhuazhi refers to a technical free kick master with excellent close-range skills. Football king Maradona is naturally the head coach who understands this well. The distance of 18-22 meters is the best range for Maradona's free kicks. In this area, he once scored 14 direct free kicks in Serie A, ranking third in history. Maradona's free kicks Characterized by quick steps, lightness, and brilliant eyes, with this ability, he made contributions 6 times in the 1986-87 season to help Naples win the Serie A championship for the first time in history. Fans who are familiar with Naples must remember that when Maradona repeatedly practiced his wonderful free kicks, a young man of similar stature behind the goal was always watching and learning silently, until after Maradona left Naples, that year As the successor of the golf king, the caddy finally took the lead. He is Zora. Compared with his master, Zola ultimately excelled. He scored 19 free kicks in Serie A history, ranking second. Zola mostly relies on the inside of his instep to shoot free throws, and his natural bow legs make his free throws highly spinable. The ball inadvertently draws a rainbow in the air, directly confusing the opponent's goalkeeper and making it impossible to guard against it.
Baggio's free kicks are similar to those of Maradona and Zola. What matters is not strength but skill. Whether in Juventus, Inter Milan or Brescia, Baggio is the best. Of course, he is the master of free kicks. His free kick scoring record in Serie A is also tied with Maradona and tied for third place. With his handsome appearance and charming temperament, Baggio gives people a calm, light and elegant feeling when taking set kicks.
In the history of the World Cup, the most exciting close-range free kick appeared in the match between Brazil and Scotland in the 1982 World Cup. It was completed by Zico, the best set-piece expert in Brazil since Rivelino. this masterpiece. In the 1980s, Barnes, the only representative of the technical school in English football, was also a master of free kicks. His goal reflected the value of making a big difference. Bulgarian star Balakov's free-kick skills at close range are also widely circulated in world football. In his farewell game that year, opponents once built a double-layer wall to show respect for his free-kick skills.
4 Lingbo Weibu
Platini, the leader of the Bianconeri in the 1980s, was an outstanding free kick expert. His unique short-run penalty kick method was like Lingbo Weibu. The steps are concise and fast, while the spin and arc of the ball are weird and graceful, which is often difficult for goalkeepers to parry. The famous Dutch coach Michels once shouted "Oh my god! Such a curve is more beautiful than Venus!" after witnessing Platini's free kick that year. Platini's pinnacle free kick came in 1984. In the European Cup, he scored three direct free kicks, which is rare in the World Series.
Ten years later, French football finally welcomed Zidane, Platini’s successor, and Zidane’s free kicks also imitated his predecessor’s limping steps, short run-up, and deceptive kicks. Strong, there were outstanding masterpieces in the 2000 and 2004 European Cups.
In the golden age of German football in the early 1990s, Dwarf Hasler was the only master of free kicks. This is Hasler's goal in the 92 European Cup. The short run-up distance did not matter at all. It affects his precise calculation of the ball path and the balance of force.
Another representative of the Lingbo Microstepping School is the Japanese Shunsuke Nakamura, who can be called the number one free kick player in Asia.
5 Underground Cannon
Baszler, known as Super Mario, is characterized by his strange and noisy ball path. When he looks left and right, he will aim at the upper corner. After the posture, even Schmeichel was fooled, and finally he hit a standard underground gun. Some people said it was a "tactical free kick" that he completed alone.
Brazilian Blanco is also a heavy-duty killer who is good at underground guns. His goal against the Netherlands in the 1994 World Cup is still unforgettable. The low ball traveled nearly 35 meters and entered the net. Blanco It is this deceptive and highly concealed free kick that is the most active advocate.
Although Totti's underground shooting skills are not his best, his low free kick must be the most powerful ground weapon in world football.
Although Anderson's underground gun skills are not the most common tricks he uses, his stick-to-the-ball skills once helped Bayern secure the league championship at the last second and should be the most valuable in world football. Ground weapons.
Lucarelli, the free kick master who emerged in Serie A this season, has also demonstrated the power of ground bombing. Currently, he ranks first in Serie A this season with 5 free kicks.
The most distant killer in world football is Witzger, one of the new three Musketeers of the Netherlands. His goal in the 92 European Cup between Germany and the Netherlands can be called a free kick. An alternative classic in history.
6 Falling leaves
Falling leaves come from Brazil. According to historical records, the originator of falling leaves in world football is undoubtedly the Brazilian star Didi in the 1950s, and he was half a year later than Didi. Ronaldinho, his compatriot for centuries, finally made this legendary weapon reappear in the 2002 World Cup. The ball dropped significantly after passing over Seaman's head. This is the subtlety of the fallen ball, which is hidden inadvertently. Murderous intent. Returning to the La Liga arena, Ronaldinho once again performed Luo Ye Zhan's fatal blow. This goal was called the Elf Bomb, and it contained the unique lethality of Luo Ye Zhan's unique tricks.
Hagi, the former Romanian midfielder and schemer, also performed a trick of dropping the ball in La Liga. The ball suddenly dropped with lightning speed.
Look again at Stoichkov's goal against Germany in the 1994 World Cup. It is considered to be a textbook example of a dead ball in the history of football.
7 Insinuations
Free kick goal number seven: Insinuations. In the 2000 European Cup, I believe you must remember Frank De Boer's goal. He made a sudden attack when the opponent was building a wall and the referee did not blow the whistle. This is exactly what Jianghu said. A unique hidden weapon for insinuations that is rumored online. Some people say that free kicks are all about the feeling within 5 seconds, and this kind of free kick is obviously faster, and it is often difficult to defend against hidden weapons. Of course, a master who is well versed in this skill must grasp the opportunity and mislead the fake into the real one. DeBoer's rich experience allows him to leave almost no warning signs before taking action, and he can kill with one blow.
Beckham, the head of the Full Moon Scimitar faction, sometimes resorts to hidden weapons in critical situations. His successful sneak attack on Blackburn Rovers in the 01-02 season allowed him to turn the tide at a critical moment. In contrast, Henry's insinuation skills are more widely circulated in the world of football. Although it is difficult to compete with the six major sects, at least he has found his own way in the world and has repeatedly achieved miraculous results!
