We can’t decide if this is so bonkers it’ll never catch on or
just really clever, but the B team of French side Nice have a
pretty different way of defending against free-kicks.

Instead of the simple wall-in-front-of-the-goalkeeper idea
that we’re all familiar with, they put a wall of players on the goal line… then had their goalkeeper out of the net.

Nice B showed off their new defensive formation against
Grenoble this week – and it worked, as the free-kick was
easily headed off the line.

Is this a new defensive tactic or what?

The great Roberto Carlos with all his banana shots. Great guy. Madrid certainly misses him at left back

I guess CR7 could take this defensive formation to the cleaners with a powerful freekick


Just my thots though
