Best Free Kick Takers in Football (Soccer)

In all aspect guy is a guru in free kick taking, even in a tight corner he deliver better result, I can remember the he took against Barcelona in a champions league match is kick was outstanding to an extent it force Victor Valdes to fumble. To me is the greatest in taking free kick.

There's a huge gap between beckham and juninho, not saying beckham shouldn't be second, but juninho is the best by a long shot.

If beckham have banana shoot, Juninho is really different, when he shoot the ball, the ball was not spin, and that's make the ball goes straight and make the shoot really powerful and accurate which could kill every keeper.

He treated his game like an art and he was the artist!

How is Becks not at number 1, he is the best by a country mile. You would pay just to watch a beckham freekick exhibition, his freekicks are footballing artistry.

He is simply the best... Followed by Zico.
He is a one of the most hard working player I've never known despite of all the fame he got outside and inside the field. He never lost his cool - Respect!

Cristiano is always number 1... Period... Show me a better free kick than the one against portsmouth a few years back at Old Trafford?

xyz51007

Amazing his still in hi career but his not yet finished!

Beckham and juninho have never shot a free kick from more than 45 yards. But ronaldo has.. Against arsenal. He should be number 1.

JUST WATCH CRVENA ZVEZDA - BAYERN MUNCHEN 1991.! BEST FREE KICK TAKER EVER

The greatest free kick taker of all time. period.

he holds the record for most international free-kicks. AND he scored a hat-trick from free kicks too

Feyenoord won the UEFA cup because of this gift of Van Hooijdonk, every single match, again and again

The best footballer ever! He just punished all goalkeepers game after game.

I had seen his one goal that is really impossible

Brazil vs France, Real Madrid the best long range free kicks ever

no one is like roberto carlos in free kicks

+9Nakamura is great player, he can provide feedback to the striker and allows the striker to score and with a fitting accuracy of the kick, he can score goals from dead ball shot

+8Week in, week out, Naka sticks them in from free kicks! Keepers just cannot get to the ball in time... Simply UNBELIEVABLE! Hail! Hail!

+5Nakamura is simply the best at free kicks. Not only that but his ball control, his football brain and passing. He is even good enough to play in the premiership (please don't leave us). He is awesome

celtic4life

He is the best there is... The ball always finds the extreme top corner near to the far post... Scored an amazing low shot freekick against werder bremen. Top that and then talk

He keeps it simple but strategist and he has the cool needed to maintain while a kick.

What are you guys thinking ronaldinho is the greatest freekick taker ever! I know he is better than Juninho for a "FACT"

noelg1

The greatest player ever! His good attitude, personality, professional player..
His goals against Real Madrid in the European Champions League 2008/2009. He is the Legend of Football, the Legend of Juventus who all the Juventini proud of!
Del Piero >> The greatest player!

Del Piero scored the most free kicks in the history of Serie A and the European Champions League! He is the best of all this list, Hands down.
One more thing you have to bear in mind is that Del Piero scored in the Italian League (Serie A) which has the best defenses and most experienced goal keepers (compared to the French League or any League in that matter! )

he scored so many goals from freekicks that he's probably the best takers... or at least in my opinion

The most controlled free-kick taker I ever saw!

Wizteddy13

does nothing fancy but still achieves the best result... some people a. k. a ronaldo try to do too much and their free kicks end up in the crowd!

kameel

He's the only guy that just uses sheer power to cannon the ball in. just look at his free-kick against Newcastle United

+2Pirlo can use both the inside and outside of his foot for free kicks and his consistency is second only to Juninho.

+1He was my favorite midfielder and in fifa 11 he was supposed to be a good free kick taker and I agree to it. In 2010, he scored at a distance of 35 m and for the keeper it is full stretch.

he is the best player in all the world and has a supe super free kick and powerfull shot and very accurate

“He is the best free kick taker in the world

“He's scored greatest goals in Sporting Cristal, Boca Jrs, Newcastle, Aston Villa, West Ham United and the Peruvian national team.

“He is one of the best, even Maradona called him "Maestrito"

Powerful left foot. He takes it so well.

he has an amazing speed, curve and power in his kicks plus I think he has the best left foot in the premier league. he is awesome.

Killer left foot with with class, he lost it because of injuries but still videos are evidence, and still he can come back to same level..

+3I Like miljan radovic, because you the best of free kick taker...

thank's miljan radovic for starting eleven in persib bandung...

+1Milan Radovic is the best free kick taker... now Milan Radovic played for Persib Bandung Team From Indonesian...

This is...
The next Yunus Fauzan Apriliatna, and he is Persib Bandung player

just have a look at his free kicks as good as any in the top 10. Also, lovely volley and semi volley shots on the run from outside the penalty box. Magico He's a beast

Master of the art. Among the elite. As is Andrea Pirlo.

The best ever! Others have nothing on him. The greatest of all time, in national squad and in club level also.

The more creative midfielder that soccer have right now. His free kicks are just too accurate. For me the best with Nakamura.

Man He Is Good Fit For Bayern Munchen Ill Tell You That He Is Good Free Kicker Good At Curve

There migh be loads of other better ones, but whenever I see drogba about to take a free kick I expect him to score. And he usually does!

He's scored loads of freekicks and they're not the the ones where you pwer it but the ones that go over the wall and into the goal
He's one of the best strikers around but is losing his touch now as he is 33 years old

DROGBA THE LION.. awesome free kicks just brilliant, and I love alex too.. he's also one of the best free-kick takers

This footbaler from Urguay if he was brasilian or italian. he will be the best. BestFree kikker... Alvaro Recoba Phenomenal 2

He is the best left free kick player in the world
Recoba have a quality passing, can play as striker or play maker..
His left foot strike just be silent of goalkeeper

not only in shooting freekick that even greatest
but he done well also in passing freekick.
his passing freekick bring the goals so many too

i don't care what anyone says, i firmly believe zico is the best on free kicks, he has no match.

Pele said to Zico " Your the best soccer player ever and your the closest person that went to my greatness"

though zidane lacks power when passing and doesn't lift the ball high up in the air like beckham, ronaldinho, or pirlo, he still manages to score from an average range. he doesn't have speed like carlos or accuracy like juninho, however he's still fairly better than those regular soccer players you see

speechless for this player, he's not human but he's God...

There's nothing to say. Simply the Greatest of all times. Magic. Go and see all his goals and you'll understand why he was the best.

The thing that defined maradona was he's dribbling and of course the hand of god.

consistent delivery with perfect precision and good speed

did you see his game vs Portugal it was his best game in the world cup that free kick man he should be in number 12 he can curve the ball pretty good and thats why when bernd scheider out he takes Gemrany's free kicks

He's the master of both curved and power free kick. Let him put the ball on the pitch, and goalkeeper's nightmare begins.

Indonesian player? I don't even know who is he... but I'd vote him :D

not really famous..but has an amazing talent

nemicated

i've ever seen the match between LPJ Gol.III/XI and FO's. he made a fantastic goal by curling the ball from distance...what a strike!!!!

the best player his shot's and his free kick's

big star. great shoots. Carpathian maradona. uefa cup 2000 winner. super cup winner. Hagi galatasaray clup player and past technical director. Romania super star.

He surely has to be in the top 5!

Top 10 freekick taker it's Hagi! It was brilliant on the field! We miss you Hagi!

yeo
because he plays for the best team in the (REAL MADRID) he has scored 4 goalz this year and 3 were on a free kick
ps. Madrid are gonna smash roma in the champions league

he is the best, most powerful most acurate shot

Fabulous. This guy is good.

Just watch his free kicks on you tube, I think he deserves at least 10th place, he had such accurracy and power, few players now have such.

Fantastic ponaryo astaman.. The best free kick.. He is player in sriwijaya fc palembang

Couple years ago, Japan vs hong kong. If that free kick doesn't convince you he's the best nothing will.

Should be loads higher, he is an actual tank and has ridiculously good curving skills, he's up there with the best in my opinion, top ten I believe, without a shadow of a doubt.

Not famous world-wide but a young prospect for the next decade.

The divine ponytail was a player ahead of his time. His touch, creativity and skill were second to none. He scored loads of amazing free kicks at Fiorentina, Juventus, AC Milan, Bologna, Inter and Brescia. I particularly recall a very intelligent freekick he took while at inter. Everyone expected a cross and he fooled them all and passed it into the net. At Brescia he took a corner kick directly into the net during a league game against Leece. A true legend!

The legend of INDIAN football. Good to see him in top 50.

“he was one of the best free kick takers in the mexican league and there was a reason y they wanted him in Stuttgart because of his free kicks and becaise he plays good this also goes for Ricardo Osorio!!!

“He was one of the few best soccer free kick shooters in the mexican league and now he has made it to the germany team in stuttgart as a starter player along with Osorio.

“best and talented free kick taker

WON THE GOLDON BOOT IN THE WOLD CUP AND SCOERD 1 GOAL FROM A FREE IN THE WOLD CUP HE IS THE FREE TARKER

Are all the people out off their minds. Lampard is best free kick taker in whole universe and from when is baichung bhutia better than him. He is aWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AND AWESOME

Power free kick trait is lampard's art and he uses it so well. I remmember finals of wc 2010 england vs germany, he didn't miss by much.

-1he is for sure the best young free kick taker in the world

mshalfon

“talented free kick taker and well he deserves to be number 4

“hesby far only got 1 better
free kick taker
Steven Gerrard by far

He's really underrated but has an amazing shot with his left foot, he's one of the best free kick takers in Europe.

Most underrated free kick taker. Look up Salihovic free kick vs. Turkey and dortmund... Or any other ones

See some freekicks by him, they're amazing. Watch the one against Turkey

Baines in very consistent because if he doesn't score a freekick, it's gets on target or hits the frame of the goal.

Alex's freekicks are the BOMB! He proven his worthyness vs arsenall

guys! Alex is different from other free-kick takers because he has de ability to fire his bullet shot to his preferred position... and at last the Goal-keeper will not get a chance to touch the ball... dats Allexx

l...

He Can use Any Foot He Wants And Is A Legend

Maybe the best winger ever... Left and right, and even as a 10 he was special, look at his goal againt Danmark...

Best all Time Can Use Both Sides Of His Foot He Is Awesome

Great Man.. Great player... God of football.. Best footballer ever.. Scored 20 free kick goals (screamers.. While just for Arsenal.. LEGEND)

Seb is a specialist. He deserves to be higher on this list! He is amazing free kick taker and has a wicked right foot.

His freekicks are sublime
5 goals from set pieces/freekicks

Incredible, best ever... But little attention because he plays in Brazil and not Europe

“Best German Kicker Out There He Takes The Corners And Free Kicks He Can Score Free Kicks When He Wants To

Zola would be higher in the list if he was still playing today, just watch old footage of his free kicks and you can see for yourself.

100~~ should be in top 10 without doubt. All distances and from and angle. Genius who worked harder than most to become an expert in this field. Model Pro

“Man He Can Use Both Feet He Is Amazing He Takes Bayerns Free Kick And He Scores A lot OF Them He Should be Number 20

Man Did You See His Five Free Kicks In The World Cup They Were Awesome Did You See There Curve They Were Incredible He Should Be Number 15 Or 10 at least 15 maybe 10 He He Can Score Them When He Wants To

Excellent Player. Scored some wonderful free kicks in his time. Quite underrated.

Eri Irianto (Sidoarjo, 12 January 1974 - Surabaya, 3 April 2000) was a former player of Persebaya Surabaya. He died on the 3rd April 2000 after collapsing with a heart attack on the pitch during a league match against PSIM Yogyakarta at Gelora 10 November Stadium. The mess was renamed from Persebaya and is now "Wisma Eri Irianto". He wore number 19 which was retired after his death.

He is good, kok bisa gak masuk 10 besar? Laugh out loud
Ayoo vote naik terus bray, zico, bambang pamungkas yes

He in my opinion is not the greatest ever free kick taker, however he is the inventor and perfecter of the "over the wall, under the bar" free kick and deserves to be number 4 (behind 1. Cristiano Ronaldo 2. David Beckham 3. Juninho) because he revolutionized the art of taking a direct free kick.

HE WAS ONE OF THE PLAYER THAT KICK THE BALL WITH MORE SPEED ABOUT 80 MILES PER HOUR IN ALL THE WORLD ESPECIALLY SOUTH AMERICA HE PLAYED IN JUNIOR DE BARRANQUILLA TEAM
