I don't think we should have one specific FK taker. It's got to depend on the situation. The working of the free kick against Arsenal was absolutely perfect. You could see Lehman was set up waiting for the blast from Ronaldo, but when Hargo took those two steps and shot, the keeper wasn't in the game one bit.
Perfect.
I actually do understand how Ronaldo hits the ball to make it do what it does in flight, and it's absolutely incredible that he has the accuracy he does. When he gets them right, a free kick outside the box is just about as good as a penalty. From distance, I have no problems in Ronaldo having a go whenever he wants. Shorter distance, Ronaldo and Hargo can do their "bait and switch" game.
