Decoding the Impossible Goal! 🤯🇧🇷

Decoding the impossible goal… 👀🇧🇷

When it comes to football’s greatest skills, few rank above the Trivela. Equally beautiful to look at as it is effective, this advanced technique involves curving the ball *away* from your body, and is performed by striking the bottom left corner of the ball w the outside of your boot…

Amongst all the examples of this move—one clearly ranks supreme: Roberto Carlos freekick vs France | 1997 ✅

From roughly 35 meters out, the Brazilian managed to bend the ball completely around the wall at a whopping 85.1 mph, defying the laws of physics in the process. An advanced computer analysis of the scenario has finally proven how fine the margins really were; there was only a 4mm strike-zone for Carlos to possibly pull off this shot… Had he been the slightest bit off—the ball would have hit the wall or missed the goal completely. Greatest goal in soccer history? I think yes. 🤯💯 #football #soccer #skills #brazil #futbol #science #goals #sports #viral #shorts #footballshorts #freekick #fifa #worldcup #respect #physics

Beckham revealed Carlos used to do all the time in the trainings days in days out like it was piece of cake . Thats why they were never surprised when he used to score Golazos in the games .

[mrashers]

Carlos’ shots weren’t trivelas due to the speed, he created his own type of kick; ‘the Carlos’

[milindkverma]

Roberto Carlos free kick was not a trivela, it was a swerve free kick.

[walethegreat]

It was just pure power. Add pure power to technique, and you've struck gold.

[SamarveerGill-he]

Carlos's shots were NOT travels. They were in fact a technique called SWAZ. The way this shot works is that the around laces area drags across the ball. This is much easier to learn, with much more power. This all makes it much easier to make this shot. How do I know? Because I use SWAZ for my free kicks.

Carlos didn’t use the trivela technique he used the swaz. Completely different.

[HalalAyd]

This isn’t a trivela - it isn’t struck with the outside. It’s struck with the inside, slicing it to give the spin

[johndale]

You're forgetting Quaresma he always nails it

Thanks for the likes ;⁠)

I remember I was out practicing one time just taking shots and I remember clearly the shot I took lol ball didn’t come off the ground more than 2ft from easily over 30 yards out the curve was insane. To hit it from that far out you can’t actually use the outside boot has to be timed perfect using laces and swing your leg

I can actually do a pretty well trivela but I use a Toe Smash it's kinda hard to explain but I basically use 2 toes, the big one and the one next to it and start shooting like a normal toe smash but I kinda make it roll over the Big toe to the next toe which gives it a nasty curve.
So it looks like I'm shooting to the left but it goes to the right or looks like I am shooting it straight and it bends to the right. So you still get the power of the toe smash but with a curve
The pros:
- Experienced Goalkeepers hate me since I don't need to wind up and I can literally stand still and still do it, they can't anticipate it.
- Keeps power of a normal toe smash
- Great for penaltys
Cons
- it's still a toe smash so your toe will hurt after doing it for a while even if you do it perfectly unless you are like me who has only been using toe smashes for his whole life but even then I can only shoot 25 full power toe smashes before I am out of commission.
- The more power the more curve you get which can be good but if you are trying to use a full power one you will need to shoot it at a 80° angle away from where you want it to hit.
- If you hit it wrong to many times or even 1 really bad time your toe will hurt for weeks.

That's about it, nobody asked but I for some reason really wanted to talk about it.

You added all those physics animations just to get the shot wrong. Roberto Carlos freekick is NOT a trivela.

[LucasPrimo]

Roberto Carlos is the goat of the left back, there is no one that can surpass him

[higgzzy]

It's called Bernoulli's effect.

[PitterPatter-xjin]

Roberto Carlos’s shot was not a trivela…but a knuckle ball with a TINY amount of spin

[blinx.]

Roberto Carlos didn't use the trivela though. He didn't hit the ball with the outside of his boot, he rather sliced under it, giving it that spin

[lionheartpt]

My guy tho i appreciate your enthusiasm about footbal, you are really talking about stuff you know little about. Roberto Carlos didn't use the trivela for his shots, he didn't use the outside of the foot, he used the inside, or top, like where the laces are. He literally kicked the footbal with the inside dragging it across the ball, but he took the shot on the outside of the ball, so it's like a reverse trivela, it's the top of the shoe to the outside of the ball. The first player who used the trivela with success and made it his signature move was Quaresma, he was like a second CR7 in terms of style and play, he was the guy who started using it to make crazy long passes, to make shots that had the same effects as the Roberto Carlos ones, and to score free kicks, tho he wasn't as good on those.

That string of France-Brazil games from the mid 1990s to the mid 2000s we’re so good to watch

[petroshotgamer]

when you said trivella i heard lamine yamal

[omaraldahmani]

I actually did a trivela in my school from my own half to the other half and I got an assist, that was my first ever trivela assist and I’ve tried it a lot of times and now I can finally do it😭

[JeremiahFestus]

The way the balls were made then is totally different from what we have now. The shape also changed slightly to prevent ridiculous curves like what always happened in the past.
No one can do that now with today's ball shape.
