  • God!

  • Fantastic Goal.

  • ......no spin

    very beautiful shot

  • GREAT :)... <3

  • What makes this amazing is not the fact that he was able to curve the ball left and right, but it is the fact that he is able to do it with no ball spin what so ever..insane goal.

  • but, but how?

  • Every player should be like juninho

    very humble he doesnt dive or fake injuries

  • perfect

  • awesome no spin kick

  • First goes left, than right, then stroongly left! (same as he did it against Werder) it`s not that hard but I `m sure he shot some 50-60 kicks at treining..

  • bravo majstore.....

  • the bend was completely unintentional wtf, these players do there shit by accident, you see the motion of the ball? not spinning. you see the way he striked it? not on an angle. it was just the weight of the ball, the velocity, and wind, and his ugliness that scared the ball to the left.

  • this technique shot is called 'fall leaf'

  • que clase de tiro libre, que golazoo

  • awesome drift on the ball

  • left... right.. then a massive hook left... keeper stood no chance. that ball was a snake!

  • Wow that was perfect. No keeper is getting to that either. I'm not sure how much control the kick taker has over the final direction of those balls.

  • wow that would confuse any keeper, I only got one thing to say, How in the Hell does he do that???????

  • instep is the key to success ;)

  • it´s very difficult to be accurate with kicking of knuckle balls. I cant believe how exakte he put the ball with a knuckle shot where he want it. it´s amazing it´s JUNINHO...but Cristiano Ronaldo is good in this kind of shots, too :) CR9

  • cristiano ronaldo is shit!

  • lol at the buisness men shaking hands

  • they made bets rofl

  • turn 2 times:D

  • the ball swerwing without turn

  • that was sick!

  • fuck...how does he bend the ball like that? it goes left and right..amazing

  • special technique... called the "knuckleshot" =p

  • wot other type of air is there loool?

  • omg it just turns:P and the ball isn't spinning..wicked!

  • thats called a knuckle ball

  • how the fuck do you do that!?!?!?! damn i need to know how to do this knukle ball thing haha

  • Now what the fucking fuck was that ? :O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O

  • wow...

    what a player.... how does a ball move in all directions like that ..

  • best free kick in the world

  • it's like he can control the ball while is flying to the goal

    I still don't know how the hell he can do that

  • It´s a knuckleball check my videos

  • thaks for theadd dude ...im a juninho fan and nice shots on your video i still got to get my technique perfect to do knucklebals freekicks but i know ill get it perfect..

  • best freekick in the world

  • the last angle was crazy

  • W-T-F ?

  • Ah...the knuckle ball.....

    More famous when cristiano ronaldo does it, but juninho is better and juninho invented this style.

  • so true

  • Those new footballs are crazy, they always wobble through the air.

  • Am i right in saying that a football is one of the most "moveable" objects in sport these days?

    Apart from ping pong, i dont think there is anything else that comes close.

    And why?

    Because it is filled with a moveable and manipulative substance known as "gas".

    Other knuckeld objects, baseballs, golfballs arent hollow. So they dont have anywhere near as much movement as a football.

    And that is because it is filled with gas.

    cough

    What do they use nowadays, CO2? Or nitrogen?

  • Actually, regulation balls just use normal air.

    Secondly, its not the gas that's "moveable." Knuckling has to do with the air pressure on a non spinning ball. The pressure is P = F/A, and F (force) deals with inertia, so its based on the mass of the object. The gas only serves to make the ball lighter.

    In the end, the ball moves so well because it is light and has a bigger surface area to weight ratio than a baseball or golf ball.

    Also, unsmooth surfaces break the air...im out of characters..

  • there are a lot of ways to kick a knuckle ball. if u strike the ball in the center straight the ball will have no spin and i watched this thing on internet where they did a scientific research about knuckle balls and the dip and changes of direction occurs from the lower and higher air pressure

  • i like skittles

  • He hits the ball with pover and swerve toward the corner of the goal which he scores in. The initial curve is because of the sheer power. The ball moves in an S-shape. That is fucked-up.

  • yuhaa

  • simply!! the most amazing free kick ever!

  • how can the ball go left, then right, and then left again ? how the **** does he do that ? :P

  • Well to answer that

    He uses a technique in which he hits it with no swerve on the ball so it will wobble and move in the air like it did there.

    Basically a Knuckle Ball

  • FWACK.

    How did he do that??? The ball farkin' went left, moved right and then went left again.

    FWACK. What a gun

  • if you kick ball with point of your shoe, amount of force deforms the ball, and when ball start to form back, changes shape and its line of travelling.

    This cannot be done if you kick ball with entire upper surface of shoe.

    this kick is offten used when playing indor football.

  • Comment removed

  • i can do that

  • Oh and if our planet did stop spinning you would stop typing your physics degree all over this page.

    Its simply a brilliant technique, that cannot be explained fully.

    It will be a sad day when he retires.........

  • Who said anything about a physics degree. I just want everyone to know what did/did not make this possible.

    Or maybe we should all just stop caring about how things actual happen. Or maybe just say it was a miracle! Yeah! A miracle! Did you see it?! The ball went this way, then that way, and then found itself resting in the back of the net! It was a miracle!

    It's a lack of rotation... mostly. Stop selling otherwise.

    A sad day indeed. The sport will have lost a true master.

  • man, that was awesome!

  • If you were to try measuring the "deadness" of a knuckled baseball, you would need video capture system of titanic specifications.

    Im not going to argue with your degree in physics.

    Try and picture a baloon full of water. If you depress any side of it, the baloon will swell to accomodate the pressure. By taking your finger away, the baloon will naturally find its shape, replacing the displaced water back to its original position. Replace all that with a ball full of gas, and 75mph foot.

  • Liquid and gaseous dynamics are two different notions. I see what you are trying to illustrate though, but it's inaccurate. Displacement doesn't occur in "filled" objects. The elasticity of the balloon's surface is accommodating for the extra volume.

    Objects "wobble" because of a lack of axial rotation in combination with their projectile velocity and local environmental factors. You could fill that ball with pebbles and make it do the same thing, the gas inside it is ultimately irrelevant.

  • Amazing how the ball moved two different ways like that.

  • holy shit...I just realized that...how does he do that?:O

  • Fuckin hell i didnt ask for a seminar jebus.

    Jarble it all you like, when you kick a football, your moving the gas inside it. As it travels, its trying to "reset" the balls original shape=unnatural ball movement.

    Im not dissing the "no rotation" aspect, im merely saying that the harder you compress the air inside the ball, the more movement. This applies specifically to "knucled" shots.

    Thats it im done no more commenting from me.

  • so there shouldnt be any rotations..

  • Calm down. We're just talking here.

    Don't label my language as jarble. That's straight up rude. I'm one of the only ones here who's willing to take it to a level based on real science.

    The reset process happens almost instantly. Not the wobble causer.

    And if a golf ball, baseball and football can all wobble, it mustn't be what's inside them that matters. So, again, it's not the gas making this happen.

    And there's a velocity window within which this happens. Too slow, too fast... no wobble.

  • Yeah it's all about lack of rotation. A spinning ball has a more predictable or "pure" flight path because it is essentially averages out any irregularities on it's surface. Take away the spin and these irregularities (dents, stitches, grooves, valve hole) cause noticeable deflections in the flight path. Contributing to this is also irregularity of air density. Obviously, the faster the ball is moving the faster and jerkier these movements will be, but there is specific "velocity window."

  • Thank you, hedgemansays. Finally someone who isn't trying to say it's because he hit the valve or because the ball is filled with gas or some other nonsense. Thank you for taking the time to put some science up here. Take care.

  • alot of people are coming up with a bunch of scientific shit on why the ball did that,

    the deal is this, basically, when you hit the ball over such a long distance, it has several mini-things which all end up in one big movement

    stuff like air pressure, terminal velocity, drag, spin, wind, unbalanced force

  • Terminal velocity? Unbalanced force? Sounds, uhm, scientific. Or something. First of all, what is "unbalanced force"? Secondly, what does terminal velocity have to do with this? Thirdly, define "long distance".

  • Junihno is the best free kick shooter. better than Beckham

  • I agree with you, SgtFinaldo, he is definitely one of football's true artists. His FKs are the stuff of legend.

    But this has nothing to do with what's inside the ball. Imagine a "knuckle ball" pitch in baseball... not a gas-filled sphere, so...?

    And my comment wasn't a lift from anywhere. I understand aerodynamics and physics. Do you know what would happen if our planet didn't spin?

  • how is that even possible, i can see how ronaldo can do his thing but idk how this is humnaly possible

  • it's because of the newer balls and the technique called the "knuckleball" - means that the ball has nearly no spin and with that no stability in the air ;)

  • that literally defied the laws of gravity , but that dont take away how amazing the free kick was

  • He is displacing a lot of air in the ball, causing it to expand and contract as it travels through the air. Along with wind resistance, it causes a shit load of random ball movement.

    He is one of footballs true artists.

  • Looks like a lift from Wiki below.

    He has hit the ball dead centre. As he hits it, the balls overall surface area (skin) is lessened, and the gas inside the ball is basically squashed.

    As it travels through the air, the gas in the ball is pushing out the "kick" mark, and is changing shape as it travels.

    Add wind resistance, other small contributions such as climate (rain, heat etc.,), and, as they say, shit happens.

    He has practised this since he turned pro, nearly 17 years ago.

  • wtf?

  • The reasons behind how this happens to a moving object are rooted in physics and the laws of aerodynamics as they specifically relate to turbulence and stochastic property shifts.

    The lack of rotation permits the object to be chaotically affected by turbulence compared to an object that is rotating. The rotation enables a controllable and determinable path, able to easily overcome acute environmental turbulence.

    All of this only applies to objects moving at a high velocity. Like this shot.

  • You think Juninho studied science and then tried this?

    But then again, he IS Brazilian.

    Thanks for the explanation on this AMAZING shot and goal.

  • its called a knuckle ball

    no spin, so it moves left to right and dips suddenly

  • can sum1 explain how he did that....thats a robot ball i reckon....impossible....

  • the guy isnt even BY the penalty box and still scores it and makes it look easy. #4 on my top 5 goals

  • the balls like

    fuck you bitch i wanna go this way lol

  • amzin shot

    just wonderful

  • he scores amazing  goals from freekicks ;p

  • christiano ronaldo cant even make it from right in front of penalty box

  • the best free kick taker . beckham WILL NEVER score one from this distance..

  • how!!!!!!

  • JUNINHO  THE BEST

  • O M F G the ball is alive!!!!

  • purely magic

  • i love how he gave the ball no spin. it just glides through the air

  • HOLY BO FUCK DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what the fuck...

  • Best ever free kick i watched in my life..........

  • what a fuckin hit

  • H O W ?

  • when you kick the ball and it does spin at all, it flies and that way it can do an S easily.

  • he is good =)

  • holy fuck . . .

  • man, S curve

  • OH MY GOD!!!

  • wow hes goood

  • this dude is fuckin' crazy :)

  • the only thing i can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the ball moved like that becos he placed the ball on the ground so that the valve was facing him. when he kicked it, he kicked the valve, which cuases the ball to sort of wobble in shape. this made it swerve. i think..

  • that was amazing but I am pretty sure it doesn't have to do with the way the valve is place. This happens when u strike just below the middle of the ball just right, it gives it a knuckle ball look, having no spin and making it almost impossible to judge. Like a knuckle ball in baseball it has more to do with the lack of spin than anything else.

  • close but the valve just adds power it's not the reason it swerved.

  • I'm going to type this slowly because I've already left 2 or 3 comments on why this ball did what it did.

    The valve... has nothing... to do... with ANYTHING. Not the ball following a curved path, not it causing a higher velocity... NOTHING.

    If someone could please explain HOW the valve is involved, that would be great. I'd absolutely dialog with you.

    Drive 55mph with your fist out the window pointing forward. Don't move. Now, quickly spin your fist clock & counterclockwise. Spin = control.

  • curling a ball has nothing to do with hitting the valve

  • look at the last replay of the kick, he touched the lower left part of the ball... result... u saw it..

    FREAKIN INSANE ::DDDDD

  • try watching another Juninho 2 way swerve shot against Ajjacio

  • What the fuck, how did the ball move like that...

    If he does tht everytime, then surely, he is gifted, what a quality FREE KICK

  • its called a knuckle ball. look it up

  • How can a ball swerve 3 times in a same shot?

  • I wonder how you get get that effect on the ball? I read somewhere you strike the ball at the air hole but it doesn't seem likely.

  • i believe that is what you do. i may be talking technical bollocks here but i think when you strike the valve it prevents air or pressure from escaping and build up causes ball to sway

  • Wow. I've never heard that one before. The valve? With all due respect, that's preposterous. Seriously, think about that.

    Getting a ball to "wobble" is a matter of high velocity and using a "punch" style striking technique. Without spin the ball is not able to overcome wind resistance and "cut" thru space, and hence behaves erratically. It's able to "ride" tiny pockets of air during its path and in so doing moves like this shot. Notice how little the ball is spinning... this is a huge hint.

  • Out all the points made i reckon hype is closest to what actually happened, especially with the fact that the ball isn't spinning so it doesnt move through the air swiftly (thinks thats what you meant o.O) so the balls is tossed about by the air while moving.

  • darkshad109,

    Almost exactly... "swiftly" in this case being relative. This shot definitely qualifies as swiftly moving. But I know what you were trying to express. Maybe "cleanly" would be a better word.

    The reasons truly behind how this happens to a moving object are rooted in physics and the laws of aerodynamics as they specifically relate to turbulence and stochastic property shifts.

  • absolute technical bollocks but at least you knew it. that wierd swing (moving both ways) is just the movement of air around the ball, kicking it with no spin on it, as he does here, means that the imperfect shape of the ball creates different air flow around it, much like a planes wing.

    I remember reading something where Roberto Carlos said that kicking the air valve supposedly gives more power.

  • luck. the movement is unpredictable, cannot be reproduced.

  • Holy shit, the ball movement there.

  • 3 curves in the same shot

    fucking impossible(almost)

  • Beautiful Goals ! Amazing ! 5/5

  • nothing but class juiniho

  • on the last replay makes it look amazin (which it was)

  • i want to say thats impossible, but I guess its not?

  • wondeful kick ;)

  • TOP 10 all time best free kick taker 1 Juninho Pernambucano 2.David Beckham 3.Sinisa Mihajlovic 4.Zico 5.Shunsuke Nakamura 6.Alessandro Del Piero 7.Diego Maradona 8.Pierre Van Hooijdonk 9.Cristiano Ronaldo 10.Roberto Carlos
  • c.ronaldo sucks ronaldo the phenomenon's cock.

  • WTF

  • what a zig zag curve

  • SiCK!!!!!!!!!! i taught him

  • i get shivers every time i watch it...for me it is the best freekick ever

  • if only i could do that...

  • Juninho wobble!!!

  • LMAO the free kick was awesome but i cant help but laugh at the french commentator at 0:14 - 0:17 listen to him

    " JUNI, JUNI, JUNI, JU-NE-NE-AHH!"

  • he got a stutter :P

  • By "punching" the ball with a locked ankle you create a total lack of ball rotation. A rotating ball moves in a predictable curve, the wind resistance incapable of overpowering the momentum of the spinning sphere. But when you "punch" the ball and there is no spin the wind resistance is capable of overpowering the momentum of the ball causing it to move unpredictably.

    This only works, though, when the ball is moving at a high velocity. And the ball in this free kick definitely qualifies. Wow.

  • very good explanation!

  • No... this only works if you are Juninho!!

  • youre right..

    This is also used in baseball, its called the knuckle Pitch.

    As you say, the ball goes dead in the air with an unpredictable move.

    It´s just too hard to do.. :s

  • holy crap i wanna learn how to do that

  • i have to admit juninho is a great player

  • how did he do that???

  • double reverse, thats a miracle !!

  • in cricket its called reverse spin ohh god how did he do that

  • It is also known as knuckleball in soccer/football.

  • The ball seemed like it was going straight then it drifted left...cool!

  • fucking amazing thats great!!!

  • the balls he kicks barely spin...

  • Shot power..Ownage

  • He can just put so much movement on the ball.. epic

  • He is awesome!

    we went to the same High School hahaha.

  • yes. yes use did.

  • I think Juninho Pernambuchano

    He's the first free kick of world.

  • how does he make the bal go the the left with spin and then let it its spin al the way to the right????

  • LOL maybe the ball has a remote...it's going right and then turns left...amazing... xD

  • hahahaha awesome idea!!

  • insane !! :D

  • wtf?

  • Juninho Pernambuchano is the best freekick taker in history of football

  • hahaha juninho is frickin good~ lol he kinda looks like Jesus :D

  • The are no words to describe this awesome goal...Fantastic!!

  • That was incredible he got the ball 2 move without any spin!

  • wth?? the ball didnt even spin.

  • that is the knuckleball of all of soccer

    that was insanely hard

  • how does he bo that!!!!!!! it does an S bend

  • he hits in the middle of the ball, with MUCH power, what give a 'magnus' effect =)

  • no, magnus-effect is effect that is caused by side-spin. This isn't the case, cause the knuckleball-technique is applied here, the ball is hit without spin.

  • that was like a torpedo...he is the best..JUNINHO PERNUMBUCANO

  • what the fuck was that????it was like a torpedo....shit man he is the best....

  • how the hell does he do that??? its goes against the laws of physics?
