Djet Parma nel cuore! Beitrag melden Geschrieben 8. Dezember 2005 Ich habs schon mal erwähnt, Spieler wie Juninho und Pirlo - seit kurzem auch Del Piero - haben eine neue Art, Freistöße zu treten. Finde das Thema sehr interessant, daher ein eigener Thread. Auch Channel 4 hat schon was darüber geschrieben... Pirlo explains free-kick secret Thursday 8 December, 2005 Milan’s free-kick specialist Andrea Pirlo has revealed why he is so lethal from dead-ball situations. Pirlo is widely recognised as one of the best in Italy and illustrated why with a real beauty against Schalke 04 in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Now Pirlo, who has also netted in similar fashion during recent wins over Juventus and Lecce, has explained the secret behind his success. "I have always been fascinated with the dead-ball aspect of the game, ever since I was a child," he said. "I would practice all of the time with mixed results." However, Pirlo has developed into a specialist also thanks to his spell alongside the legendary Roberto Baggio at Brescia. "He took free-kicks like no other," continued the Italian international. "I just used to stand there in training and study him for days. I think I learnt something in the end." Nevertheless, Pirlo has also varied his style after watching the way Lyon and Brazil midfielder Juninho strikes his free-kicks. "I’ve been inspired by Juninho," he continued. "I saw the way he makes contact with the ball and copied him. "I spoke to Coach Carlo Ancelotti one day with the idea of striking the ball with the three small toes of my foot. "It is also important to place the ball in a certain way." Some players like to make contact with the air valve of the ball, which increases the chances of movement through the air.
