Don’t expect to see any more Ronaldinho low freekicks now this defensive method has been discovered…!
Figueirense lost 3-2 to Palmeiras at the weekend in Brazil’s second division, but still managed to show off their inventive new way of defending low freekicks.
The defender lies behind the wall providing a human barrier to any low shots, while his teammates jump high into the air!
One of Ronaldinho’s most famous efforts was a freekick he purposely sent underneath the wall in the Brazilian leagues, and we wonder if teams will follow Figueirense’s suit and employ a horizontal defender to defend set-pieces!
