O'Shea: Ronaldo takes Perfect Free-Kicks

John O'Shea has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo is getting closer and closer to free-kick perfection!

Having bent, spun and swerved the ball into the net twice from distance this season, Cristiano is fast making a name for himself - not least because he claims its all about hitting the ball on the valve!

But John O'Shea claims its al down to hard work and dedication:

“He spends a lot of time working on his free-kicks after training,” O’Shea told 1413AM Manchester United Radio ahead of the game.

“But it’s not as if he needs to work too much more on them. He’s got to the point where he’s consistently hitting the target and the swerve he generates means goalkeepers don’t know which way it’s going.

"We’ve seen keepers just hold their hands up and admit defeat because they don’t know how to deal with them. Maybe we’ll see teams employ some new tactics in order to try and stop him. We might see a team form a wall and also put a player on the line. At the moment, a wall on its own just isn’t enough!”
