MLS Insider Free Kick Artits

MLS INSIDER, presented by adidas: “Free Kick Artists”



The free kick can be one of the most beautiful aspects of the game. When a perfectly struck shot, be it curler or rocket or both, finds its way into the back of the net, it has the ability to provoke the most inspired responses from fans.


The latest edition of MLS Insider takes a detailed look at the specific art of hitting a free kick.


The league’s biggest stars provide their insights, including Diego Valeri, Clint Dempsey, Graham Zusi and more. They offer thoughts on the best set-piece artists in the league, and there’s even an on-field demonstration from Real Salt Lake’s Javier Morales.


Not to mention, of course, plenty of juicy free-kick highlights.
