Sharp: free kicks viewed new weapon in the repertoire of Neymar

Since the Confederations Cup, No10 scored three goals this way. In training, use draws attention. Crack admits evolution                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Who follows the daily lives of the Farm Selection Comary comes repairing daily developments ofNeymar in free kicks. Since the time of the Santos number 10 always risked his kicks. The current use in practice, however, impresses. On Wednesday, for example, the eve of the opening of the World Cup, the ace hit five out of six attempts (see the next video) .

The talent of Neymar arguably born with it.Success in free kicks, however, is the result of hard training. The star admits evolution. 

- Where trained, from the first day of professional. Whenever I charged faults and come increasingly perfecting me - said Neymar

 

Since the beginning of the career, Neymar has never hidden that would evolve in the question.However, both the Saints and in Barcelona, ​​has never been the official collector. In Belmiro, lived with the competitions Marquinhos, Elano, Marcos Assunção and Montillo. Aware that the faults were not his specialty, made opportunities for teammates. But I never stopped training. 

- In Santos, Neymar was not a specialist in direct fault for the goal. At first it was not even the official collector. But he never stopped training the foundation, said they want to improve. I remember seeing it anytime after the end of the activities in CT Rei Pelé fulfilling the ritual to charge set pieces. Several times correctly answered at the barrier, but over time has evolved. Marquinhos, Elano and Marcos Assuncao, among others, each in its season, beat more often - Marcelo revealed Hazan, GloboEsporte.com reporter who accompanied Neymar at Santos as the ace of the club defended Belmiro.   Sometimes in Belmiro, was common, after workouts, Neymar compete with then assistant coach of Santos, Marcelo Fernandes, to see who acertava more balls in the indent. The game certainly helped sharpen the aim of the attacker.

The trend is clear in the Brazilian national team. Of the eight goals that lack Neymar scored in his career, five were with the yellow jersey (see some of the missing playmaker in the next video) .The first career was in the U-20 National Team in the South American category, against Chile in Peru. At the London Olympic Games in 2012, scored against Belarus. With the first team, all goals from striker on free kicks were under the command of Scolari: Italy and South Korea in 2013, and Panama earlier this month. 

But even in Selecting Neymar took to make it as official free kick taker. In the era Mano Menezes, Daniel Alves and later Ronaldinho were the owners of set pieces. Today, the crack splits the function especially with David Luiz, responsible for long distance charges.  

In Barcelona, ​​however, opportunities are still rare. Messi is the official free kick taker. When he's not on the pitch, Xavi takes over the function. Even so, Brazil yet to score free kicks in the Catalan club.
