Catania's new freekick technique Serie A side Catania has come up with a creative way to score from a free kick: block the goalkeeper's vision by having players drop their shorts down in a wall. The Sicilian team carried out the maneuver to perfection when Giuseppe Mascara scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over Torino. Three Catania players dropped their shorts down near their knees so Torino goalkeeper Matteo Sereni couldn't see Mascara's kick. "This is a strategy that (Catania coach Walter) Zenga tries continually in training," the club's chief executive Pietro Lo Monaco told RAI state radio Monday. Former referees coordinator Paolo Casarin called the move "unsportsmanlike and in bad taste. Lo Monaco responded, "A trick? I wouldn't say so. It's up to the referee to decide if it should be penalized, otherwise I don't see where the problem is....Good taste is relative."
cant really see it happening over here, it would take a brave man to bare their bare backside to a christiano ronaldo freekick like still funny as fuck tho
there was a young player (defender i think) who played for Catania on champ man 2001/2002 he was a good buy for about £1million what the fuck was his name again !!!
