Crazy Free-Kick Block - Douglas Costa On The Ground?!

Costa puts his body on the line - literally!

Douglas Costa is back at FC Bayern München and ready to cause havoc in their opponents' defences! But what happens when play switches to the other end and you have to defend a threatening free-kick? Thomas Müller and his team-mates have developed a very special technique to protect Manuel Neuer's goal against set pieces! All it requires is a man who's entirely down to earth! Naturally, Costa will have to adapt to his new defensive duties but we're sure he'll be just fine! Can you think of a better way to block a free-kick? Let us know in the comments!

He realized that the floor was more comfortable than his bed

[Shuj]

he was ready to get hit in the balls, sacrificing for the team, true player, we need more like him.

Either Douglas Costa is:
• Having a nice day and relaxing on the pitch

• Waiting for the team to do the job

• Being smart and trying to outsmart the free kick taker

• Doing what he does 🤷‍♂️

Legend has it: Douglas Costa wanted to go to sleep but couldn’t find a comfortable position 😅

[Thebast]

I'm so happy that he's back!

Because he denied the last goal(chance)in the final for psg 🤣

0:22 your voice acting make me laugh so hard lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[tizioincognito]

I've seen this a lot of times, but everytime it happens everybody act surprised. Seems to me just a simple way to defend low free kicks

[lordomiotek]

This is actually a genius way to defend free-kicks if u think about it

[karthikkamathp]

Marcelo Brozovic did it first against the freekick from Suarez

[hutomojatikusuma]

Epic Brozovic doing it before when inter vs barcelona

[imnobody]

It all started from Brozovic free kick defense lol

[chiranjansahu]

The way Douglas rolled on the pitch we all do the same way when we don't find comfortable sleeping position

[kasozi]

The Bundesliga is doing everything it can to get more viewers!!!! And I love it!!

[BlessBeing]

Should not be allowed. All players must be vertical when ref whistles.

[leezach]

0:29 Muller: "bro, why are you protecting your ass like you're getting arrested"

[FRachmatRamadhan]

Brozovic still the best for this things 😂

[dadonovak]

Epic Brozo trick.Costa just trying hahaha

[Rajesh-kofo]

This always happenes when messi takes a free kick and also there are 2 players on the line excluding the goal keeper that is why recently he is not scoring that many free kicks
