Today we will see a direct free shot, we don't have Pauti, the magician, Bargallo on the OkLiga. But this folk is doing it really well. This is Sergi Folguera (Calafell Nº83). We can start looking at him even before the whistle blows. Look at his body position. Skates are saying, I'm going to the left hand side. While the stick position is open, most likely going to the opposite side.
When the whistle blows, the first he does is choosing a side, Folguera goes to his right hand side. Forcing the goalkeeper to move with him to cover the first post. Once Folguera makes the goalie move, he comes back a bit to the middle. He is opening his chances a bit more. Making his life easier. Disclaimer here, this works only (and mark my words) if you have been to the side before, showing that you were there. In other words if the goalie moved with you.
Once he is in position, he shows the ball to the keeper and he checks this. The goalie is only looking at the ball. Now look at Folguera’s skates. They are not facing the front, they are facing the second post.
By the way I already mention 2 kind of fakes hehehe
