The internet does not care, but a rabona:
In association football, the rabona is the technique of kicking the football where the kicking leg is crossed behind the back of the standing leg.
Thanks. So it’s a bit like a curtsy?
I still didn’t understand so I looked it up. I wouldn’t call it a curtsy, I would say it is a annoying kick that requires athleticism
It requires more technique than athleticism, but yeah. Sometimes you see it from players with a weak foot so bad they’d rather do something stupid like this with their strong foot than touch the ball with their weak foot, but mostly it’s used to show off.
No one’s gonna mention his Phantom Opera/Iron Mask?..
It was originally due to a head injury and concussion but now they keep wearing it for protection. All that diving a goalkeeper does, they take a lot of impacts to the head.
