sne Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 With Messi scoring that cracking free kick against Plop yesterday reminded me of arguably the best free kick taker of all times. Juninho Pernambucano He scored 100 goals from central midfield for Lyon, 44 of those were direct free kicks. In total he scored 76 career free kicks. Most of them absolute stunners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to him becoming so good at controlling "knuckle ball" shots to this extent, but SO MANY of those free kicks are scored because the ball is doing really weird shit (best highlighted in that video in goal number 4). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Pierre Van Hooijdonk is one of the very best freekick takers in the past 25 years, no knuckle ball technique with him. Edited May 2, 2019 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Marcos Assuncao was brilliant too for Betis at free kicks. he had tiny feet and wore even smaller boots as said helped his technique 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I used to always sign Nakamura on like Fifa 10 and assign him as free kick taker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 On 21/04/2019 at 08:31, VillaAlex said: The young lad Odegaard at Real Madrid. Super hyped at a really young age, too much was expected of course and ended up on a few loan spells. The lad is now 20 and seems to be tearing it up for ex Chelsea B (Vitesse), and he's tipped to go to Ajax next season. Great to see as a lot of players like him with the early hype can completely disappear. Funny, I was thinking this about El Ghazi the other day. The hype around him at age 18/19 was definitely a 'thing', linked with a few mega clubs like Real Madrid and Chelsea, then he just kinda disappeared. Next thing you know, popping up in a Villa shirt. Bizarre one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Michael Johnson. Man City's prodigy. And Carlos Tevez. Underrated I reckon. Kind of like Yaya Toure. People just didn't like them for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Song followed a similar career trajectory but ended up at West Ham (think he nearly went to SHA aswell). Hleb is still playing, was in for Borisov in their europa league games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Wasn't Hleb the one who revealed that while he was at SHA, McLeish's training consisted solely of getting the players to practice lumping the ball up the field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Alvaro Recoba, once the highest paid player in the world. By FM rating he had 20 in talent and 1 in application. On his day he was amazing thou and scored some cracking goals. Apparently he only quit playing in 2015 He also has the same prominent chompers that compatriot Suarez has, perhaps an Uruguay thing?
