Becks or Ronnie? Rashford weighs in on free-kick debate

Like Ronaldo, Rashford typically hits free-kicks within shooting range using the knuckleball technique, which has been popularised in recent years by the Portuguese superstar and Didier Drogba, among others.

 

By contrast, Beckham used a more classical style, usually attempting to arc and curl the ball towards its intended target.

 

Interestingly, Beckham outperformed Ronaldo when it came to Premier League free-kick-taking, with 18 efforts to Ronaldo’s 11 – plus a better minutes per direct free-kick goal ratio (1,198 mins to 1,322).
