Free Kick Goal by Arsenal's Cazorla - FA Cup
Jared Montz
Santi Cazorla scored a nice free kick goal in the FA Cup final this weekend. Arsenal came back to beat Hull 3-2.
His technique isn't how I teach it in our OSA training video but there are a lot of similarities. My feeling is always to develop the fundamentals and then add your own unique style. If it makes sense to add your own style.
Cazorla doesn't lean back when he shoots and he lands on his shooting foot. This is more of an advanced style.
Practice your bending this week. Bending or curving a ball is great for scoring free kicks, shooting from distance, crossing and making passes.
Get the fundamentals right and then try to see how Cazorla's style works for you.
Have fun!
