Another thunder strike, another thigh celebration. Some of you may remember our post a couple of weeks ago concerning a documentary on Ronaldo, called Tested To The Limit. One part of the show is dedicated to analysing his free kicks and power shots. Apparently part of the secret to the power he generates comes from the huge force that Ronaldo has stored in his thigh, which transports down through his knee, to the point of impact with the ball.
It's all in the technique folks. Have a goo at the specific segment, and watch out for everyone's favourite Polish goalkeeper, Jerzy Dudek. Fast forward to 7mins in for the 'thigh' discussion.
