5 Free Kick Kings

The reverse order is as follows:

Overlord Gun

Chilavert Curvature: 8.5 Strength: 8.5 Success Rate: 7.5

As a goalkeeper, he has excellent long-range shooting skills. He once hit a shot near the midfield, but as a self-proclaimed "watchdog", he is still better at free kicks. Chilavert is good at shooting with his left foot. He has the habit of praying to God before taking the penalty, and after scoring a goal, he will kneel on the ground to thank God for his gift. But don’t think that every time he boldly shoots, he relies on the good luck bestowed by God. In fact, Chilavert has always had a long-range shooting skill that does not require any cover-up. With his excellent basic skills, his goals The number even exceeds that of many second-rate forwards. He never uses cunning tactics, but is all about making prompt decisions. He is always full of confidence, and he can always send the ball into the net with a quick step. The only regret is that we were unable to achieve our long-cherished wish of scoring a goal in the World Cup, but we should still cherish all the crazy records created by this crazy goalkeeper.

Classic replay: In the qualifiers of the 1998 World Cup, Paraguay and Argentina met. Chilavert said before the game that he would use goals to give the Argentines some color. As expected, he scored a goal in the match. An incredible free kick kept his promise. When the ball flew into the Gaucho goal with a beautiful arc, the entire stadium suddenly became as silent as death. The commentator could only say silently: "Maybe only Chilavert can save this ball."

Dragon Slaying Knife

Ronaldinho Curvature: 8 Strength: 8.5 Success Rate: 8

Ronaldinho

As today's The world's number one star, Ronaldinho's free kick speed and arc are perfectly combined. In Gremio, Paris and Barcelona, ??people are used to him humiliating the opponent's goalkeeper with accurate half-high kicks again and again. In the first year after joining the Reds and Blues, he scored 15 goals to help Barcelona return to the top and nearly won the title of World Footballer. His status in the national team has also skyrocketed, and his accuracy with set kicks and feet has also been praised by all parties. What's even more frightening is that the Brazilian king often doesn't need to run up when taking free kicks. He can complete all the steps with his lower legs, making it impossible for the opponent's goalkeeper to judge the path of the ball. Although the team lost in that game of the century, Ronaldinho's free kick that went around the wall gave La Liga's number one goalkeeper Casillas no time to react.

Classic replay: In 2004, Barcelona played against Real Sociedad at home. Barcelona was still trailing 0-1 until the 90th minute. Ronaldinho himself won a free kick in front of the penalty area. The distance was a bit close but the Brazilian shot it. The free kick also went straight to the lower left corner. The entire Camp Nou went crazy, not only for surpassing their old rival Real Madrid in the standings, but also for the arrival of their new king. They could not suppress the excitement in their hearts.

Eternal Sword

Juninho Curvature: 8 Strength: 8.5 Success rate: 8.5

Lyon achieved an incredible four consecutive league titles, Juninho Neo is undoubtedly the biggest contributor. Since joining the Ligue 1 team, he has become a leading midfield artist in France. He is good at rigorous organization and scheduling. At the same time, the Brazilian is also a top free kick master. According to statistics, one of every seven set kicks he takes will go around the wall and spin into the goal. This probability is so terrifying. Kahn should be the one who knows the power of Brazilians best. In the Champions League, the German goalkeeper was humiliated by Juninho's free kick. Even Assuncao and Carlos, who are recognized as top set-piece masters, have frankly admitted that their compatriots' skills are superior to their own.

Junior Juninho’s free kick skills rely on talent, feeling and hard work. It has become his fixed habit to practice at least 20 additional free kicks after each training session. Although he still plays a supporting role in the national team, in France, which advocates technical football, he is the absolute king.

Classic replay: In the 2005-06 Champions League, Juninho’s free kick from 35 yards directly broke through the gate guarded by Werder Bremen goalkeeper Lineker. It is a classic and is recognized as the last one. One of the best goals in the Champions League, comparable to Ronaldinho's two magic goals to score Chelsea and Garcia's goal to Juventus.

Nianhuazhi

Recoba’s arc: 9 Strength: 8 Success rate: 8

Recoba’s physical fitness is comprehensive and his feet are strong, and he is good at shooting. In one aspect, it has its own unique advantages. Most of the free kicks taken are low and flat, with excellent angles. This "Chinese boy" with well-proportioned lower limbs can rely on his good balance to coordinate the angle of his shot, making him a rare set-piece expert. "The kick taken by Recoba was obviously carefully trained. Even two Santordos couldn't have saved it." In the past, "Gazzetta dello Sport" once commented that he was always unable to play the main role, but he always played as a substitute. A set-piece goal scored by an outstanding Uruguayan.

Classic replay: In the 1998-99 season, Venice played against Fiorentina. Recoba, who was still on loan at Venice at the time, scored three landmark goals in this game, which shocked the whole of Italy. football, and these three goals were scored at the goal guarded by future teammate Toldo.

Lingbo Weibu

Rivaldo Arc: 8.5 Strength: 8.5 Success rate: 8.5

A typical South American free kick master with Bai Pele Zico has the same outstanding footwork, and what's more rare is that he can shoot flexibly with both left and right feet. He is even better at avoiding the seemingly impregnable wall with the lightness of four or two pounds, allowing the ball to hit the goal with high and low rotation. Four blind spots. His bow legs are so magical that people call them two magic legs together with the legendary hero Garrincha. "I don't have any regrets about losing to a team with a talent like Rivaldo." Indeed, at his peak, Rivaldo scored at least 30 goals per season and was as unstoppable as a god.

Classic replays: Countless times when playing against Real Madrid, he shot the ball into the gate guarded by Ilgona, Bisari or Casillas. His free kicks in La Liga and Champions League are too numerous to mention.

Falling Leaves

Zola's arc: 9.5 Strength: 7.5 Success rate: 8.5

Zola's free kicks mostly rely on the inside of the instep to let the ball pass A "rainbow" was drawn high in the sky and then fell closer. Known for his rotation and curvature, the changes in his line are somewhat strange, and his delicate footwork, which he learned from Maradona, makes him familiar with the way to win free kicks. "Zola can dribble the ball and fall outside the penalty area, and then take the free kick and score the goal. Neither opponents nor teammates get any chance to touch the ball." Former Parma coach Scala praised so much that he even hung up his boots. A short-legged tiger who is still very capable despite his age.

Classic replay: In the European Champions Cup, Zola, who has entered a semi-retired state, is still as powerful as ever. Zola took a beautiful free kick and sent the ball into the door of the Barcelona team that believed in being superior. The blow that one goal brought to Barcelona will probably be something they will never forget for the rest of their lives.

Black Iron Epee

Carlos Arc: 9 Strength: 10 Success Rate: 8

The unattractive little Brazilian Carlos has a magical left foot , his upper limbs are short, his thighs are thick and powerful, his calf swings covertly and quickly, and he relies on his powerful explosive power to take free kicks. Opponents will never dare to foul easily outside the penalty area, because people know that the kind of free kick taken by this wonder boy is almost the same as a penalty kick. In addition, Carlos seems to be learning the principle of grafting the ball in table tennis and snooker. The ball changes direction and hits the goal through the collision of a third party in the wall. Sometimes it seems that he calculated it deliberately, so he does not need to bother. To avoid the "human wall" blockage, you can directly test the rebound power of the "target".

That free kick full of blood and domineering blood is the golden signature of this pocket golden left foot that dominates world football.

Classic replay: The earth-shattering 40-meter outspin missile that scored the French team's goal in the 1997 French Four Nations Football Invitational Tournament. After the game, the French newspaper was unable to explain how Carlos redirected the ball that flew toward the corner flag and hit it into the goal. They had to explain jokingly from a physics perspective: "According to Newton's third law, when an object moves to the right, when an object moves to the right, the force from the object The repelling wind speed will counteract it."

Full Moon Scimitar

Beckham Arc: 10 Power: 8.5 Success Rate: 8

Perfect. Arc!

This is perhaps the most expensive right foot in Europe. It is good at taking penalties with the instep, and the ball flies towards the opponent's goal with a pleasing inward arc. Beckham has received professional training since he was a child, and his every move looks very simple and orthodox. In order to increase the speed, he must twist his whole body and tilt his body completely to increase the internal rotation speed of the ball. Therefore, it usually gives people the feeling of lightning speed, which is why we have our common Bayern free kick taking posture. .

Goalkeepers always wonder why they often judge the correct direction but are still half a beat too late, but scientific data tells us that every time Beckham takes a free kick, the ball speed is more than 110 kilometers, and people regard his rotation as The curved ball that is fast, fast and accurately landed is called "Bates curve". It is a simple but effective weapon with a fatal blow in offense. Former free-kick master Platini once commented: "Beckham is definitely the best right-footed free-team player in Europe. If unfortunately you meet the team he plays for, you must not give him anything near the penalty area. Opportunity."

Classic replay: Beckham's midfielder against Wimbledon in 1996!

In the 2002 World Cup qualifying match against Greece, the most exciting kick in the last minute was worth 100 million!

In the round of 16 of the 2006 World Cup, Beckham scored a winning goal against Ecuador!

Xiao Li's Flying Knife

Mikhailovich Arc: 10 Power: 9 Success rate: 10

Mikhailovich

The free kick volley from the outside of the left foot is Miha's specialty. The direct free kick shot within 40 meters from the goal is impeccable. Miha's free kick is powerful and powerful, a work of art that perfectly combines tricky angles and strong rotation. Moreover, when taking free kicks, he usually uses his calves to exert as much force as possible. The swing range of his thighs is very small, making it impossible for the goalkeeper to judge the path of the ball, making him unpredictable.

"We have asked UEFA if we can use two goalkeepers when Mihajlovic takes a free kick. I think that is the only way to stop him." Leverkusen that year Daum, the team's meritorious coach, laughed at himself when he was in the same group as Lazio in the Champions League. "Misha's" free kick skills are unique in European football, and he is the holder of the record for scoring direct set kicks in the Apennines. Even when we think of Miha, almost the first impression is of a registered trademark free kick, and vice versa. It has almost become It is a conditioned reflex, and its accurate shot that "does not miss the mark" and seals the throat with blood also makes opponents tremble.

Classic replay: In 1999, Mihajlovic scored three goals in a row with direct free kicks against Sampdoria. It has created a historic feat that is unprecedented and will be rare in the future.

Nine Swords of Loneliness

Carioca Arc: 10 Power: 9.5 Success Rate: 10

Carioca

Facts When people mention the free kick master in Brazilian football, the first thing that comes to mind is not Carlos, but the legendary Carioca. Even fans of Corinthians' rivals have to admit that he is the most important Ouchi player in Brazilian football. It's hard to imagine that Carioca's body is so thin that you can't believe that he can have great strength to move the football according to Dunga's strength, Carlos's speed, Neto's accuracy, Rivaldo's craftiness and Juninho. The deception is integrated into one.

"That's really a perfect work of art!" Leon, who was the only one to select Carioca for the national team, commented now. It is said that it was because of his beautiful free kick skills that he reached the level of the Brazilian coach at that time.

Carioca is used to taking all set kicks on the field, but he only had one chance to participate in the America's Cup. At other times, he missed the yellow jersey of the national team, which led to his free kick talent. It can only shine in the club.

"After entering the opponent's half 20 meters away from any position in the opponent's penalty area, I can take the free kick directly into the goal." This guy's arrogant self-evaluation is by no means an exaggeration. Because he is probably the professional player who has scored more free kicks on our planet. Brazilian radio also said that whenever he takes a free kick, the defenders generally realize that the "human wall" is meaningless. He is a myth in the Brazilian free kick epic --- Marcelinho Carioca. .

Classic replay: Some media once described that if Mihajlovic represents the highest level of free kicks in Europe, Carioca is the supreme in South America; if Mihajlovic never puts the wall The ball can be detoured into the goal, and the Carioca-style free kick known as the "Angel's Foot" can go directly into the goal through the gap in the wall.

Five Thunder Cannons

Rise Curvature: 5 Power: 10 Success Rate: 7.

Riise’s free kick does not rely on tricky angles, or The weird arc and the ball he shot with the power of his left foot are enough to make all goalkeepers in the world tremble. In the 2006 FA Cup match against Liverpool, Smith, who came on as a substitute, stepped forward to block Riise's free kick. The ball hit his supporting leg, causing a tibial fracture and ankle dislocation. Smith did not return until 7 months later, and then was purged to Newcastle, bidding farewell to his wealthy career.

If you want to say that Carlos's free kick is that you can't tell which way he will hit it, then Riise's free kick is that you know which way he will hit it, but you can't stop it.

Classic replay: In the championship series held in the summer of 2004, Riise's heavy free kick against the Celtics made the broadcast staff's cameras unable to keep up with the speed of the ball. In a burst of cheers from the audience, the Celtic goal was declared lost. In fact, this is not Riise's most famous work.

In the 2001 Premier League match with Manchester United, Riise's free kick stunned everyone present. Barthez, who had already made a full save, was in trouble when faced with such a high-speed and tricky free kick. However, it seems powerless.

Heavenly Demonic Qin

The music is lingering, killing people invisible. The Tianmo Qin should be the most elegant murder weapon. In the world of football, there is also an elegant "magic piano" - Pirlo.

Pirlo's free kick

Pirlo's free kick was hailed as an "elegant and deadly arc". In 2005, Sky Sports once suggested that "Pirlo should open a school." . Pirlo hit what's known as an "elevator kick," where the ball appears to be flying over the crossbar before it suddenly plummets, catching the goalkeeper off guard. The trajectory of Pirlo's free kick is straight when viewed from above, and it is characterized by a particularly fast fall. In addition, a very important point is that Pirlo is always so elegant when taking free kicks, without any aggression.

Classic replay: On November 26, 2005, in the thirteenth round of the Italian Football League, when AC Milan defeated Lecce 2-1 at home, Pirlo scored a goal. Remembering a world-class free kick, the Lecce goalkeeper was stunned and had no reaction at all.

In the early morning of June 15, 2012, in the second round of the European Cup Group C group match, the Italian team played against the Croatian team. In the 39th minute of the game, Pirlo scored a direct free kick to help the Italian team score 1-1 in the first half. 0 lead. The goal also allowed Pirlo to break Zidane's record for the oldest direct free kick in the European Cup (Zidane was 31 years and 356 days old that year). At this time, Pirlo was 33 years and 26 days old.

Elevator kick

Tomahawk penalty kick

By the end of 2012 in La Liga Real Madrid, Ronaldo had taken 23 free kicks in Real Madrid. Among them, 4 goals were scored. This number accounts for 22.2 of his total goals at Real Madrid.

These 4 goals can be said to be a world wave. The goal that penetrated Diego Lopez's fingers last weekend reached a maximum speed of 101.5 kilometers per hour. The goal that scored Marseille in the Champions League was traveling at 102.7 kilometers per hour, and the goal against Zurich was traveling at 103 kilometers per hour. Why can Cristiano Ronaldo repeatedly take such quick free kicks while ensuring a very high target rate? If we look at it from a biomechanical perspective, we will find that Ronaldo's free throw shooting method is almost perfect.

6 Offensive Tactics

Tactical Methods

When attacking a free kick, you must do this: Don’t shoot if you can shoot directly. Cooperation, even if it is cooperation, should be concise. The more concise the cooperation, the greater the possibility of success. Although changes in coordination are important, changes must be based on results. In addition, the passing speed of the penalty kicker must be fast and the accuracy must be high. The methods of free kick attack in the frontcourt are:

(1) Direct shot: when the opponent has not organized the wall, or there are holes in the wall, or the goalkeeper is not in the right position, or the kicker is good at kicking the arc When playing a line ball, a direct shot can be used.

(2) Coordinated shooting: When it is impossible or unsuitable to shoot directly, you can use coordinated shooting. One player suddenly passes the ball across, causing the "human wall" to loosen, and another player rushes up and shoots

Practice method

(3) There are 6 offensive players, 2 at the penalty area, 4 are distributed in the penalty area, and 4 additional defensive players are responsible for defending the offensive players in the penalty area. Practice passing the ball 3 points before the goal, requiring the offense and defense to compete. It can also be practiced that the free throw player uses the space outside the wall to break through and pass, and the middle player outflanks and grabs the spot to shoot.

(4) After team members master the technical essentials, they can practice further. Arrange 9 offensive players and 11 defensive players. The free throw locations are set at different positions on the side of the penalty area. Practice passing or direct shooting and actual confrontation according to the prescribed number of times or time.

(5) Change the free throw location to the other side and practice the fourth method above.
