Juninho was SO GOOD at Free Kicks, He Scored Them as Easily as Penalties

In the early 1990s to late 2000s there was a Brazilian player who was scoring free kicks as easily as taking penalties themselves. As crazy as it seems, nearly half of the almost 200 goals scored Juninhos career were from free kicks.
But as special as Juninho was, compared to the legendary Brazilian footballers of his generation, he just never was able to outshine them -and today he’s only mostly remembered by Brazil and Ligue 1 fans, so now - it’s time we give his career a look and see just how good the free kick king of football was.

He is now a commentator in a Brazilian “movement” against the monopoly over football we have been under since forever. TV channels had a HUGE monopoly over streaming rights, but due to the pandemic they f’d up and now we are able to watch some games through KZfaq(Most notably the WC games) and he is one of the commentators in this project. His insight over the game and players is impressive and he would call the shots of coaches before they made any, which is insane when you are watching a game and he speaks up like “Number 8 jumped a little bit too late, so he is either tired or unfocused so coach will switch him” and it happens.

Almost feel like i was just lucky catching those games but it seemed to almost happen weekly how i remember it.

He made Lyon a tactical beauty... opposition teams were afraid of fouling anyone on their own half so the opposition teams usually ended up either trying to pressure high up and leaving a massive gap behind or with a rather low block that kept them at bay. Nowadays the closest thing to this level of effectiveness on freekicks would be Messi, but even Messi can't match how much of a cheat code Juninho was. Not only this, but he was pretty good dribbler and passer so if you didn't come out to try to take the ball from him, he would dribble past the opposition and make a goal. Go out and try to get the ball from him and you'll foul him as he was tricky with the dribble... it was basically a long distance penalty LOL. He was and remains unique to this day, I haven't seen many players optimize their skills to their favor in such a way in a long while.

It's always surprised me how Juninho is rarely counted among the great players of the 2000s. Maybe it's because he only played one world cup (2006), or because his European career was all in France (even then seldom counted among the greatest leagues), but he deserved more recognition. It was with him as one of the team's leaders that Lyon had what was possibly its golden age, winning 7 consecutive Ligue 1 titles.

He scored 2 free kicks against Champions league winning Barcelona side in 2005, can’t forget those goals. Perfect straight line shots from like 35 yards. So sad he didn’t win the 2002 World Cup. Was he also omitted from 2006 World Cup, so if he truly was there, France 1:0 win wouldn’t have really kicked them out/

His competition were insane at the time (Ronaldinho, Kaká, Rivaldo, Zé Roberto, Ricardinho, Alex, all legendary brazilian miedfielders of that rich generation). The other players had more media on them as well, so the brazilian coach never let Juninho be the starter (altough everytime he went to the field he did great jobs and I think he never missed a Free Kick for Brazil National Team, when he enters the game, if there were a Free Kick he scored).

Best freekick taker 🔥🔥🔥 But let's not forget another great freekick taker like Beckham, Mihajlovic, Recoba, Pirlo

6:52 just a small correction, the Copa Libertadores isn't the Brazilian cup, it's the South American cup, equivalent to the Champions League :) But great video, Juninho was a genius, in my opinion the free kick GOAT. He was a great player and is a legend in my eyes, it's a bit unfortunate that he's relatively overlooked these days.
