It’s very difficult to decide, but for me Juninho is better :)

:d/
I like Nakamura’s free kicks a bit better. It’s more “by the text book” style.
In any case, what is the name of this song/artist?

1 Juninho is better no question
2 Terrible music for the context of the vid.

Neither. Pirlo Pirlo is the best!

The song is “Now we are free” by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard…from gladiator soundtrack.However this is the remix version

juninho is special..
Ken | December 29th, 2007 @ 6:26 am | | |
i vote juninho because he has more variety in his free kicks, whereas naka is more about deadly accuracy. both awesome though.
elo | December 29th, 2007 @ 9:00 am | | |
Juno is more consistent and has a stronger foot, the only challenger for him is Pirlo, but for his passing ability and not his scoring…
elo | December 29th, 2007 @ 9:11 am | | |
I agree wih Ken, Juninho can shoot in so many different ways … And he can score from 40 meters, he did against Bastia. But Nakamura get the spidernet more often.

which remix of “now we are free” is this one?
thnx in advance

Search on youtube: Gladiator feat. izzy – now we are free and u can find the rmx;)

Better? it’s hard to decide since both have clearly different styles, Juninho seems to love power shots whereas Nakamura loves to curve the ball in the far corners.
Either way both are very talented and made some beautiful shots!
Thanks for posting! :d

by far; Juninho
hf | December 29th, 2007 @ 2:33 pm | | |
definitely Juninho but Nakamura and Beckham would’ve been a better comparison because of their curves
canadian gunner | December 29th, 2007 @ 5:16 pm | | |
tough call
id say juninho
like u guys said pirlo is good competition as well he is solid as a free kick specialist
the music is classic…it goes with almost anything lol good track

agree with you :)
but for me cristiano ronaldo is the best in taking free kicks :P:d

Nakamura is better. I love the way he curves the ball before goes into the net. =D
tdog | December 29th, 2007 @ 9:56 pm | | |
the goalkeeper sucks beaten fom that long way out on some of those goals.
fang | December 29th, 2007 @ 10:11 pm | | |
nakamura’s good in technique….
juninho’s very smart
Frank | December 31st, 2007 @ 10:59 am | | |
like the song…Juninho to me is better
nc | January 2nd, 2008 @ 2:07 am | | |
its more difficult to take freekick when it is very near with the goalkeeper, and for the ball tobypass the wall, curve is the best way. And if i am the coach i will prefer some one with nakamura skill. To get both nakamura and juninho, then u can look at pirlo
Steven | January 6th, 2008 @ 6:20 am | | |
this is an easy answer juninho no doubt. he can flick, chip or just smash it into the far post or near post with great accuracy. all nakamura does is curve kicks into the far post. i mean nakamura is good but juninho would win for me.

From what i have seen from this vid and others is that Nakamura is better. Curling it like that requires a lot of body/foot control, and it seems Nakamura has mastered it more than Juninho.
Matt | January 10th, 2008 @ 8:23 pm | | |
JUNINHO is the free kick master, the BEST in the world no doubt. Nakamura is great at curling yes, but what Juninho has learnt is something special. He makes the ball change direction 3 times (yes three!!) during his shot. Keepers hate this so much because they have absolutely no chance of knowing where the ball will end up. No other player can do this unique skill, except C.Ronaldo who is learning it and has done it a few times himself. But for me Juninho is on another planet when it comes to free kicks.

Juninho is the best
Nakamura is ****
cj | March 24th, 2008 @ 8:09 pm | | |
juninho no question because he can score with any type of free kick
Johann | April 16th, 2008 @ 7:02 pm | | |
Both are very good at freekicks, but as far as players go i prefer nakamura, he has alot more creativity than juninho.
Pirlo isn’t as good as either of these at freekicks imo, but pirlo is the better midfielder :p
If anything i’d say juninho has the edge in terms of knowing what sort of shot would be best suitable from the free kick, where as naka has probably the better actual accuracy.
Either way, if you’re a goalkeeper standing behind that wall and you see naka or juninho step up… you may as well get ready to just pick it up out of your net ;)

Both plays in **** league
charlie | November 18th, 2008 @ 10:07 am | | |
some great free kicks but i think that juninho free kicks where better :P
