RE: CORINTHIANS NINE WINS IN A ROW??! BIKE GOAL BY DEPAY?!! // The World of Sports // LetsGoCoringation
I didn't know and I'm very surprised that Depay's made the move to Brazil. At 30, he's still got a couple of good years left in him.
That's probably the first bicycle kick in his career. The video is location-blocked but from the screenshot, I don't think much of the defending or Goalkeeper's positioning.
Hey @the-gorilla , first off I wanted to congratulate and thank you for the great work you've been doing with the frontend of steemit.com! I've been keeping up with the process since the start, and I'm almost sure that it was the great @remlaps that brought my attention to it. It's a pleasure having your comment here, specially talking about Depay and Corinthians!
I think that almost everyone here in Brasil also was very surprise to learn that he was coming, even though the Brazilian League has been receiving a number of international talents over the last years: Luis Suárez in Grêmio, Arturo Vidal in Flamengo, Payet in Vasco and even Bolasie in Criciúma. The championship here was already really competitive, and now it's even one step above. I think Depay thought that it would be a good place to reclaim his good football, and try to get back into the Clockwork Orange squad.
I searched and didn't find any other bicycle kick goal in his carrer, so I think you're right. I unfortunately forgot about the location-blockers, but I uploaded bellow a gif of an art of @danirarte from instagram of the goal (and yes, the goalkeeper was definitely not well positioned during the play:
Thank you for the feedback about the redesign. Feel free to leave a comment under one of my updates if you have any thoughts.
I've just found this video on YouTube which looks like somebody's made a highlight reel of every single touch he made. It looks like he's put on a bit of weight and he seemed to enjoy getting stuck in in the 2nd half. Generally, same old problem - end product. That final pass and decision has always been a bit of a weakness for him.
I found the goal...
The defending and goalkeeping could definitely have been better 😅
Actually, this replay's the best - it looks like the same video can't be displayed twice on one page. Strange. The URLs in the page though!
Completely unmarked for the entire move - shocking defending!
