In case you didn’t know, as well as writing a blog and being a professional footballer, Juan Mata has enough time on his hands to start his own Youtube channel.
In this, one of his first skills video’s, Mata shows us how ‘easy’ it is to take a free kick in three simple steps: First place the ball, second check out where the keeper is lurking and finally, contact with the ball.
Mata then proceeds to lash one home – easy peasy. If only. Personally, I think I could be come an expert at placing a ball and spotting where the keeper is. Unfortunately it all goes down hill when it comes to the critical third step of making actual contact with the ball!
We’ll be expecting to see more helpful tidbits in the future from Mata.
