Totti wants to be like Roberto Carlos.
In an interview the star of Rome and the Italian Selection confessed that he wishes to kick the free kicks like the Brazilian
MADRID (EFE) -- It is very possible that Francesco Totti shared the astonishment of the world of soccer with the launching executed by Roberto Carlos the three of June of 1997 that left with a stupid face the goalkeeper of France, Fabien Barthez.
Is very sure that in that precise moment , Totti decided to learn the technique of the small and muscular lateral Brazilian left-handed p of Real Madrid.
Totti, one of the pillars of the Italian selection, has decided to make his dream come true, and be one of the exclusive members of the Free ckikc Elite shooters, one of the most technical maneuvers of the today s.
"Francesco has decided to kick like roberto carlos", says his personal physical preinn, Vito Scala. The free kick of Roberto Carlos that day in the stadium "Gerland" of Lyon is already in the videos and books:
"Foul in Brazils favor, a free kick about 35 meters of Barthez. The French barrier is armed. Roberto Carlos places the ball and, following his ritual of launching, he backs down steps to take race. He shoots. The ball surpasses the Gallic wall with a great parabola and seems that it flies away with a deviation of 45 degrees of Barthez´s goal, that nor moves, convinced that Robert Carlos has failed the shot. A second later is gathering the ball of the bottom of the net. A whim of the destiny? No, the effect that Robert Carlos applied to the ball caused that it changed of right direction when Barthez saw it in the stands. A worthy trajectory studied by the scientists."
Totti, of 27 years, dreams about something similar. According to dello revealed Scala to "the Sport Gazzetta", has seen and reviewed the videos of the games of Real Madrid and has studied all the dynamics of the launchings of Roberto Carlos: the impact, the part of the foot that strikes, the inclination of the body, the passages of the race. Totti has acquired greater muscular power with the work in the gymnasium, an aspect in which honors Roberto Carlos, who always has maintained that there is no trick in his firings. "Simply I send the best t and more powerfull than I can", says.
International the Brazilian strikes the ball with the outer part of the left foot. The impact takes place with last the three fingers: the means, to annul and index. A combination of technique and power that turns the goalkeepers to statues. Sometimes in his launchings, the ball surpasses the 120 kilometers per hour, only surpassed by the 160 of another one of the great "bombers": the Serb Sinisa Mihailovic, who with 22 free kick goals in "Calccio" is the best scorer of last the 20 years, in front of Roberto Baggio and Gianfranco Zola (19), Maradona (14) and Michel Platini (13).
Totti wants to follow the steps of Roberto Carlos. In the training, usually he executes a 15-20 average launchings, of which half finishes in goals, advised more than once by Fabio Capello, good connoisseur of Roberto Carlos of his season (1996-97) like technician of Real Madrid. "Proving and proving he has assimilated the style of the Brazilian", adds Scala. In fact Totti marked three goals against Milan in the double end of the Italy Cup. In the going, in San Siro, Totti struck the ball of the same form that Robertò does Carlos: with the right outer part of the boot, instead of the habitual left interior. Goal.
Totti already learned to shoot free kicks with 13 years old.He played in the Lodigiani. He did with power, chose the positioning and never it guessed right. With the youthful ones of Rome, he chose the power to throw a fre kick from 35 meters. He wrote down. With Carlos Bianchi in the Rome in the mid 90´s, Totti continued perfecting the technique of the Free kick. His model was Daniel Fonseca, the Uruguayan player of unlucky memory for the fans of the Valencia when he militated in Napoles.
It was in an eliminatory of the first round of the Uefa Cup in the Mestalla arena,Valencia, the 16 of September of 1992. Fonseca scored the five goals in the victory of Napoles (1-5.
There is no doubt that with such teachers, Totti will leave his signature in the story of soccer.
At the end, 2 Roberto Carlos are better than one.
