Freak goal of the week (Video)
This week’s freak goal of the goal comes to you from the fine footballing land of Brazil.
Lobs are always tricky things to pull off. The attacking player has to take many things into account before executing the lob; where the keeper is, how far off his line is he, how far up in air does the ball need to be in order to clear the keeper.
When done right, it is a brilliant sight which makes the keeper look useless and the the attacking player brilliant. Take Gareth Bale’s fine effort against Man City today; he made Joe Hart, England’s number one, look very foolish indeed.
Anyway, this lobbed goal from a game in the Brazilian Cup has to be one of the most remarkable ever witnessed. The player is standing toe to toe with the keeper on the goal line yet he manages to send the ball high in the air and the keeper loses sight of it and in it goes. Brilliant tekkers.
Of course, this is a freak occurence but I’m sure that that small fact won’t stop the goalscorer from bragging to his team-mates, family, community etc that he was able to lob the keeper from point blank range.
