The 20-goal Portuguese winger's absence in his career Top 10 goals of recent times
Three goals in four games lack of Champions, the latter a spectacular forehand in the Velodrome, have confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo on the elite of the best pitchers of free-kicks. The secret lies in the overflowing power of his shots with his right boot, which results in a nearly indecipherable effect for goalkeepers. Since 2003, the star of Real Madrid has scored 20 goals from free-kicks. Some of them find a corner among the best of all time.
Juninho Pernambucano
pioneer in the style that now operates a Christian, especially in long distance. Their most dangerous shot with his right boot, exceeded the barrier and fell abruptly, with devilish effect. In his eight seasons in Lyon overcame a staggering 40 goals from direct free kick. Moreover, their lateral faults caused also panic among goalkeepers, especially when not finding an auctioneer.
Sinisa Mihaijlovic
Ibrahimovic learned the art of the faults with the Serbian, who finished his career at San Siro with 37, of Central, a career stretched only by the enormous quality of his left leg. Borovo The bomber also holds the honor of scoring a hat-trick in action strategy. It was in December 1998 with the shirt of Lazio, with three goals to the Sampdoria precisely his first team after leaving Yugoslavia.
Milinko Pantic
Sole handled both legs, but he only used free-kicks right. The crowd went wild mattresses with the accuracy of their shots, most notably one with the Espanyol (Toni) and one against Real Sociedad (Alberto). By the Calderon had not seen anything like it since Luis Aragones and play despite just two seasons, he still remembers with a bouquet of flowers and a small statue inside the stadium.
Ronald Koeman
with the instep or the inside, the precision of his right boot was worth nothing less than the first European Cup FC Barcelona. In six seasons, finished with 26 changes from free-kicks as sublime as some in the Molinón in 1993. The Camp Nou met other specialists and Rexach, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho, but the palms of the Barca fans have never sounded so to the beat and when the Dutchman took race to hit.
David Beckham
free-kicks, perhaps no one curled the ball with such elegance, though his repertoire was limited only within the right foot. Often surprised by opting for the side defended by the goalkeeper, but its effectiveness decreased evidently after his departure from Old Trafford.
Diego Maradona
The sweetness of his left foot left indelible screamers, especially in Naples. Just a few steps needed to raise its profile and put the ball to his whim. Almost infallible in the vicinity of the Crescent in 1985 gave an unforgettable indirect free to Juventus, with almost no space, beating out seven who tried to stop him on the edge of the goal area.
Arthur Antunes Coimbra Zico
The White Pele had an amazing facility to place the ball where he wanted with his right foot. It took just race and almost always opted for the placement, but was found very near the area. An elegance that was barely in Europe, where only left two seasons at Udinese. However, with 40 years, left the loftiest goal of his career in the fate of the scorpion in the Japan Cup final.
