VIDEO: It must suck being a goalkeeper during free kick practice at Portugal training

Not a chance

Darragh Murphy

There’s no real need to have anybody between the posts at Portugal training.

It seems to be something of an inevitability that the pairing of Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani are going to find the net when they let fly their powerful free kicks.

Nani became a frustration when at Manchester United but he always maintained his brilliant ability to strike a ball and himself and his captain showed off their supreme knuckleball techniques on international duty.

Either the lads are just very competitive with each other at dead ball situations or it’s National make-our-goalkeeper-look-a-dope day in Portugal.
