Well, it was a decent approach.
Ellyes Skhiri wanted to squeeze through the wall, baiting the players with a quick upward glance as if he were about to lob it over everyone.
This was the same trick that so many people had used in the past, from Ronaldinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and so many more.
If this worked, it wouldn't just be a beautiful goal; Higo was so sure the highlight would be everywhere tomorrow, with people talking about how Skhiri beat one of the best young goalkeepers in the world with that trick.
However, now that his clairvoyance ability had already picked up what the midfielder was going to do next, it was easier to handle than ever.
BAM!
"SHIT! LOW!" Stambouli cursed when he saw the ball go below him the moment he jumped.
Fortunately, Higo had already made a move behind the wall, and this kind of free kick relied too much on the accuracy and the surprise element, not the power itself.
