Check out this goal that was scored from the other side of the half-way line! Some people point to the fact that the goalkeeper fell while he was trying to get back; that is the whole point. Alonso saw him off his line and knew he had a chance to lob it over him......... unbelievable accuracy mixed with power...... a rope of a shot.
Benitez said after the game that Alonso was always doing the same thing in practice and he actually told him off a few times, as he was scared that hitting it so hard and not warming up properly, he might injure himself. He did however still recognize the whole brilliance of the goal.
I remember my coaches when I was young, playing football. They would tell me that the only way to score is to kick the ball towards the goal!
In every case where someone says that it was a lucky goal, always remember the idea was to get it towards the goal. That is how goals are scored. Some teams all over the world would do well to remember that and stop passing the damn thing so much and SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
