Pop-Up Volley Free Kick


Have you ever heard the name Ben Osborn? Well, you soon will as I’m sure his pop-up free kick goal goes viral on Twitter and Facebook.

And here again is another reason to work on your juggling skills. That pop-up skill when you juggle the ball might just be usefull when you’re going to take a free kick. You don’t see this very often, if ever, especially at the highest levels of the game, but this is quite a free kick from Ben Osborn of Nottingham Forest.

Watch Ben Osborn of Nottingham Forest score an amazing goal when he pops the ball up and volleys the ball into the back of the net. His touch on the ball with the volley is just perfect. Osborn doesn’t strike the ball too hard but gets over it just enough to put into the corner of the goal. He also flicks the ball up in the air just enough, not too high and not too low, both things not easy at all to do.
