Andrea Pirlo's amazing free kick against… by f100000306661040
Andre Pirlo’s free kick went in a direction that Joe Hart did not expect.The Brazuca did a Jabulani.
Pirlo’s describes his technique as follows.
“In essence, the ball needs to be struck from underneath using your first three toes. You have to keep your foot as straight as possible and then relax it in one fell swoop. That way, the ball doesn’t spin in the air, but does drop rapidly towards the goal. That’s when it starts to rotate. And that, in a nutshell, is my maledetta.
When it comes off exactly as I want, there’s no way of keeping it out. It’s specifically designed to head over the wall before taking a direction that nobody can predict. ”
