Some might say I’m over reacting and making this free kick to be more than it is. But let’s step back for a second and really dissect what just happened.
After watching the replay a few times, you begin to realize just how hard he hit the ball. Now hitting a ball that hard isn’t particularly special, in fact there are players who hit the ball much harder. What is impressive, however, is how he managed to hit it as hard as he did and make it go over a wall and down into a net just 25 yards away.
The technique Ronaldo has developed is as meticulously planned as a good golf swing which I’m sure most of you can appreciate takes years of practice; even then it’s slightly off.

If you still doubt me, get onto the field and try it. Setup a wall – stay away from using humans as they’ll want to keep their heads – and start off by simply getting it over the wall and in, then progressively build up towards a full strike.
I’d love to hear how it went….hopefully you’ll gain an appreciation for the Ronaldo free kick and motivate yourself to learn it. Remember: impossible is nothing.
