5 players with unusual free-kick stances in Football 

3) Cristiano Ronaldo

This Portuguese sensation is one player who does not need any description when it comes to his overall abilities but his free-kick technique and his stance is quite fascinating and pleasing to the eye. After Ronaldo switched to Old Trafford around 2003, very few would have expected him to go on to become what he would become but he defied expectations and his ability to take free-kicks along with his style became one of the hottest topics in world football and it did become a unique quality of his.

From the remarkable free-kick goals against Portsmouth and Arsenal to the ones carried over in Spain and scored against the likes of Atletico Madrid and Sevilla, Ronaldo did not stop there and he made sure that his free-kicks counted even in the Champions League with goals coming against the likes of Bayern Munich. Over the years, Ronaldo has pocketed 44 direct free-kick goals and 8 long-distance ones and even today in the colours of Juventus, when he steps over a free-kick, he just looks as daunting as the name he created for himself with his free-kicks.
