It's amazing how Taekwondo has given Ibrahimovic the ability to do things like that and it's probably the reason why he has such an accurate and powerful kick he is a role model for me as I am also tall and play as a striker for my team so I always look at what he does and try to put it in my game. brilliant player!
Depends on how close the defenders are to the ball. In this case they could have lunged with their heads and gotten kicked in the face. Bicycle kicks are simply too cool to call a foul on.
It's only dangerous play if your boot is that high and your opponent is contsting the ball with his head which in this case he is not. Look properly, the other guy doesn't even go for the ball with his head or look for a foul from the ref either.
@sniktawkram7 a kick that high is a foul even if they weren't going for a header. you might not consider it dangerous, but that is illegal. i believe the only way to kick that ball is with a jump like a bicycle kick or something of the sort.
To all those wondering how it was not a freekick for barcelona, it's because his foot was above his waist, making it dangerous for the players around him. He was lucky that he didn't get a yellow card. Coming from a fellow Barcelona fan and a referee... therefore your argument is invalid.
@FootballZR no... not all people make contact at head level while doing bicycle kicks...and most of the time the opponents are not at risked at being kicked. zlatan's boot came near two opponent's head.
@hellomotobleh but he had all the intention of making that a pass and he didnt even touch the guy ... the ref was right in front to see that.. that call was bs
@huson420 haha i guess a yank is an american...good guess , but not a yank ..i didn't say anything was wrong with it, other than the fact that it's against the rules, but we don't write the rules
Hazardous play. It only worked because the black player wouldn't head the ball out of fear of getting kicked in the face. You can't do that, you can't make it dangerous for opponents to head the ball, and then take advantage of the fact that they don't.
@erik3206 It was seen as dangerous play because his foot went to high in the air and got too close to the opponents head, it's a terrible rule, I know.
Barcelona is the worlds best football team....but.....they don't show the funny with football
i mean Zlatan wasn't the best for Barcelona he's good but he is a show man and people like Zlatan make the football a funny sport. Barcelona is like...yh the are the best team but they won't show the funny thing with football
what the fuck are you saying, that ref is a Madrid fan? Makes no sense, his foot was so high, it was over the heads of the Xerez players who were close to him, so it's a foul for dangerous play. And for the guy who said that bicycle kicks should be punished for the same rule, that's wrong because it's not dangerous if an opponent is close. If a player does a bycicle kick and almost hits the head of the opponenet, then it will be called a foul.
Holy fucking shit :O he kicked above their heads hahaha! That Zlatan is really something special :) I've always enjoyed how he plays and that hes very open in media and stuff! That guy has a personality that i cant even describe and a game vision like he has 8 eyes! The day you quit Zlatan will be a very sad day cuz a player like u will never exist again :) Sorry for the bad spelling and grammar... Hope u understand :)
@MrBeefaroo isn't the rule like dangerous playing because like you can't take the ball from a goalkeeper when he is just about to kick it from his hands...Correct me if i'm wrong
@MrBeefaroo a bicycle kick can be a fault too. Usually people who made goal from bicycle kick didn't put their feet high enough to be a foul. I seen fouls called for bicycle kick when players put their feet too high. Hope that helps :)
@terenceheng83: That's just wrong. You shouldn't be faulted on a high kick just because it's high. Wherever you kick, you can be faulted if the kick is dangerouse for another player. High or low doesn't matter.
@MackePacke i know what you mean. I am just stating what is written in the rule book. As ridiculous as high foot may sound, it is in the rule book that state that footballers cannot raise their feet/leg higher than the waist (i think it's the waist). I guess it's dangerous if someone get kick in the eye. All I m saying is this high kick rule is in the rule book. I don't make the rules, i just happened to read it :)
@MrBeefaroo I agree it's a daft rule, but generally, if a player goes for a bicycle/ volley off the ground, he'd generally be aware of the space around him as would the other players, who'd sensibly avoid running near the flying concussion machine.
that's what happen in today football....sometimes player even "punish" for showing their skills.... or maybe the ref are former ballet teacher who does'nt know anything about football
@alexmerry17 It was a high foot from ibrahimovic thats why they got the foul, if you pause around 0:33 seconds you can see his foot is very high and his studs are up.
@abcabc1415 its generally the same way in my games (im a highschool freshman) high kicks are ussually aloud unless your foot is actually close to another player's head
@MrBeefaroo well like one of the refs said to me in one of my games said that if they have the space for a high kick it wont get called... idk if it was just his opinion or a official rule but he said that high kicks or feet get called when they are potentially dangerous
It is clearly a foul, high foot is always considered dangerous play, even if it is controlled like this one. The referee would get marked down by regulators if he doesn't blow for a foul there.
@MrBeefaroo It was only a foul because there were players close, and he almost kicked someone. If there are no players close like most bicycle kicks it is legal.
Xerez's coach was like "How come none of my players are like that?"
