Japanese Soccer Team Incorporates Half The Team In This Fake Free Kick
I’m not sure how much of an actual advantage Kyoto Sanga got from this five-man fakeout goal, but any innovation on the standard, one player half-heartedly jogging past the ball before the guy you always knew was going to shoot takes a swing is welcome.
