The one Roberto Carlos scored in 1997 of course.
The kick.
The scientific explanation
An important fact that has gone unnoticed by all the scientists analysing the free kick is that Zidane,who was part of the french wall,was not bald in 1997!!!
And the re-creation…
One comment on “Recreating the most famous free kick of all time”
Thank you for reminding me of an old memory that made me reminiscing about football I remember watching over two decades ago. Interestingly enough, I actually watched this on TV when it happened.
While the fact remains that it makes me feel a tad bit old, I’m also reminded of Juninho since he scored some incredible free-kicks over the years – some beautiful ones for Brazil and Lyon. Perhaps the most memorable of them all was one against AC Ajaccio in 2006-06 that still leaves me feeling surprised sometimes.
