Surely the most famous free-kick of all time?!
I remember being sat in my parents’ living room, enjoying Le Tournoi on 03/06/1997, when Brazil’s left-back, Roberto Carlos, took his time to carefully place the ball.
It was a mile out.
He can’t shoot from there!
Can he? 😉
Nearly 30 years later, I still can’t quite believe what happened next.
@Staceywestblog “I played there for Lincoln but it’s a really different discipline. I don’t like it, mainly because it’s so boring. You have to sit and wait for the ball and react to things. I like to be at the other end of the pitch, being expressive and making things happen.”
