Players on loan are always eager to make an impression, but midfielder Tomas’ time at Botafogo will be remembered for the wrong reason. During a Brazilian Serie B match against Mogi Mirim, the 23-year-old on loan from J. Malucelli was tasked with taking a corner kick. It did not go well.
If you were wondering whether anyone could produce a worse corner kick than Wayne Rooney against Italy at the last World Cup, the answer is yes.
Thanks to Ryan Lloyd for the tip!
I never played past the high school level, but we always took corners from the right hand goal with right-footed shooters and vice-versa to lower the odds of such chances. From their stance, they have to deliver a powerful hook and the laws of physics are arguing against it, It’s always embarrassing to shoot a penalty over the crossbar or even a little wide, but this is so easy to fix.
