kick in 55 attempts, it's almost been a full year since he last scored. His ineptitude reminded me of the greatest free kick taker of all time Juninho Pernambucano. Now I'm Brazilian so I may be a little biased but I don't think there's much of an argument. During his time at Lyon he had a conversion rate of almost 50%! If you watch a lot of soccer you know how crazy that is. He never got a fair shake with the Brazilian national team and as a result he isn't as well known as a lot of other Brazilian stars but he is undoubtedly an all time Brazilian great.

In this video you'll notice he switches from the more conventional bending method to the "knuckling" method he became famous for.
