Few day ago Messi hit astonishing free
kick against Espanyol. Some football experts gave name panenka free kick because it’s
looked like Panenka penalty. So
today we will see the secrete of Messi’s penalty.
Free-kick is one of the toughest
things in football. It’s require pin point accuracy with enough power to put
ball in goal post. In the football history only few players had this type of
technique to take free kick.
Lionel Messi has more free kick goals
over last four la liga seasons than any other team in Europe’s top five
leagues, beating entire clubs like Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern Munich and PSG.
He is Picasso of taking
free kick.
So know we try to understand what is reason and tactics behind taking free kick by Messi
Report suggested that Messi changed
his way to hit ball in training early on, using plastic plate as a barrier
between him and the goal.
When Messi taking free kick that time
his leg has an angle of 50 degrees. Entire shoes plants on the ground before
hitting the ball, it gives stability and control.
The department of physics at the
university of Barcelona said : “ he uses the Magnus effect to find his
consistency from free kicks.”
According to the report, “ the
pressure on the lower surface of the body(ball) is greater than the pressure on
the upper surface, resulting in a force curve trajectory of the body.
Messi is able to score free kick
anywhere, and he told :
"Yes. To be honest, I like to hit the ball over
the players' wall but from time to time I like to mix it up a little bit so
that the goalkeeper doesn't know where I'm going and I want to keep him
confused until I kick."
"I think for that reason I like to keep the goalkeeper in
doubt."
Barcelona Star Ivan Rankitic told : “ sometime we celebrate
free kick goal earlier because we feel like today Messi will put ball in goal
post.”
