Footballers who are weirdly good at one specific thing

[kthanksbye]

Blind - looking glamorous.

Rashford - knock and run.

Mata - dropping shoulder, dragging the ball back and letting the defender come back into position.

Sanchez - exposing his thighs.

Ozil - hitting a rolling ball into the ground and making it bounce.

 

[Red Stone]

Sterling at missing the target while standing inside the target.

 

[El Chino]

Inzaghi. Goals, goals and goals. He was otherwise useless.

 

[simplyared]

Zlatan Ibrahimovic for doing things no one else would ever think about. (Both on and off the field).

 

[FrantikChicken]

Ji-Sung Park - running far
Bellerin - running fast
Müller - being in the right place at the right time
Adebayor - playing football at the end of his contract
Ashley Barnes - diving when recieving the ball in front of an opposing defender and getting a free kick from it
Ward-Prowse - set pieces
Young - nutmegs
Yerry Mina - scoring headers from set pieces

 

[Njord]

Tim Cahill - Aerial ability
Peter Crouch - Technial ability

Doesn't seem to fit their bodies.

 

[Champ]

Anyone mentioned the fake Ronaldo: Quaresma??

 

[Sunny Jim]

Pippo Inzhagi. He only score goals because VAR wasn't used on his time.

Was born off-side

 

[Sunny Jim]

Gibson - long range screamers

 

[cesc's_mullet]

Quincy Ayewu could run really fast

 

[Zlatattack]

Adebayor - playing football at the end of his contract

He was world class every time his contract was up for renewal. I wonder why nobody put him on a 1 year contract that autorenewed and increased in value if he hit certain targets.

Cos someone else was willing to pay more, until everyone cottoned on

Radamel Falcao - Er....

Robbie brady, freekicks

 

[Can7onA]

Rory Delap, I seriously only remember him for having a long throw, did he do anything else?

I couldn't even tell you what position he played.

 

[VorZakone]

Robben cutting inside.

 

[NotQuiteManc]

I forgot the name of the Brazilian keeper that was really good at taking freekicks and penalties.

 

[Macern]

I forgot the name of the Brazilian keeper that was really good at taking freekicks and penalties.

Rogério Ceni! 131 goals in official matches throughout his career.

 

[led_scholes]

Van Persie and his magnificent, stylish volleys. He was great at many things, but I haven't seen many players volleying the ball this good.

Gattuso complaining to the referee, even after sending a player to the hospital with a broken leg.

Herrera and low straight passes.

 

[Jev]

Giroud is exceptionally good at making creative passes with his head. He basically becomes a playmaker when the ball is in the air.

 

[Champagne Football]

Roberto Carlos and impossible bends on free kicks and corners

 

[altodevil]

Robben, cutting in on this left foot.

 

[Pavl3n]

Jose Luis Chilavert was that his full name? Scoring free kicks.

 

[Jon_Tipper1992]

Felliani has the best chest control I have ever seen.

Shame he's probably one of our worst players on the ball I have ever seen in a United shirt...

 

[Trizy]

Shaw at being fat.

 

[dbs235]

Albrighton at crossing.

 

[IRELANDUNITED]

Beckham sprang to mind straight away, not because he wasn't a good footballer but because just how good his right foot was

 

[IRELANDUNITED]

Shaw at being fat.

Are you serious? Have you seen the incredible shape he is in at the moment?

 

[Tony Babangida]

Laurent Robert, seemed to exclusively score goals from 40 yards out.

 

[Chipper]

Younger Giggs sliding after a ball going out of play then hooking his foot around it to keep it in, getting up then playing on.

Never seen anyone do it/try it nearly as often as he did. It was a once or twice a season thing with him so hardly a regular occurrence but even that was still a lot more than anyone else.

No clip, but essentially this tackle with no opponent there, to stop the ball going for a throw or goal kick:

 

[Karel Podolsky]

What is Demba Ba good at?

 

[Canagel]

Berbatov's first touch.

 

[jmaggio]

Fellaini chest control

I remember watching him play in Reading for Everton while I was visiting family I went to see a PL game. Me and my cousin were purring every time he controlled the ball with his chest, it’s honestly a sight to see

 

[jmaggio]

I think Danny Welbeck is more accurate with backheels and flicks than he is with actual passing and shooting...

 

[Skills]

Yossi Benayoun - keeping the ball by a corner flag.

 

[Paul Martin]

Suarez playing one-two's of the opponents legs; don't think I'd ever really seen anyone do that before him

 

[Theafonis]

Ronaldo and ab workouts

 

[Theafonis]

Also Ramires, guy could run for days, wasn’t called the blue Kenyan for nothing. Iron lungs. Too bad his footballing ability was average.

 

[Leif GW]

Berbatov's first touch.

Good one. Just beautiful the way he handled the ball.

 

[Rozay]

Giroud at passing with his head.
