Ronaldo Free kick - Knuckle ball



Ronaldo makes his free kicks look so easy, but believe me it's not. You would have to have many hours to practice not only score but to get it over the wall and past a keeper with power.
Ronaldo would have also stay behind after every training session to perfect it.

You will notice in my video that I kick it a little different. He has now modified what works for him but this is how to achieve the Power, dip or knuckle needed to replicate the skill.

Any questions then please ask

Shooting with power and dip



This is such a hard skill to master as you may not be used to striking the ball in this way.
The advantages to shooting like this are:
Achieving more power
Creating top spin so the ball will dip at the end of the shot
Allow your body to move forwards to be ready for a rebound

Try practicing without the ball first, skimming the ground/grass with you foot. Try to use the instep top of your foot.
My advice is also have a strong stable foot/ankle so its not wobbly.
Any questions then get in touch
