Calhanoglu like Sneijder: after 14 years the Inter player scores in the Champions League from a free kick

The boy with the ten tattoos on his arm has pulled a small piece of his old life out of the drawer. The remains of a twenty-year-old who enjoyed taking free kicks behind the house, putting the ball under seven. He practiced so much that his parents pulled his ears to get him home early, but perseverance paid off.

Calhanoglu scored again from a free kick after four years catching up with Wesley Sneijder again. The Dutchman was the last Inter player to throw in this way in the big cup, who scored on 6 April 2010 against CSKA Moscow. Hakan brought it back on a perfect night in the Champions League. A 4-0 to Red Star opened with his right hook he ended up at the crossroads. Besides the result, I was struck by the idea. Most players would have chosen a cross in the middle, someone else would have been looking for the corner to the left of the goalkeeper, but the Turk chose the right corner, top right right, influencing the turn with the direction of his body. When he scored the last goal with a free kick he was wearing a different shirt. Calhanoglu played for Milan, he was a playmaker and he was the fulcrum of Pioli’s game. An unusual attacking midfielder who is able to move behind the strikers and start the action. It was December 3, 2020, Milan-Celtic 4-2, Europa League groups. From one poker to another.

The first goal from a set piece, however, dates back more than ten years. Duplicate the author. On 21 July 2012 the Turk hit Heidenheim twice while wearing a Karlsruher shirt. He wore number ten and was in the German third division. Life has passed, but the talent remains the same. In his career, according to data from Wyscout and Transfermarkt, he has scored 26 goals from free kicks: seven with Karlsruher, four with Hamburg, ten with Bayer Leverkusen, four with Milan and one with Inter. The best was seen at the Wolksparkstadion in Hamburg, a stone’s throw from the Elbe, one evening in February 2014. Hakan stunned Weidenfeller with a right-footed shot from forty meters and sealed a 3- 0 on Borussia Dortmund. The yellow player was Mkhitaryan. This time he was impressed as a team player.
