Zico (Brazil, 62 goals): Also known as the “White Pele”, Zico is considered one of the best players of his generation. Not only possessing an impressive ability to dribble and score goals, the Brazilian legend also has many successes with his free kicks. 
Diego Maradona (Argentina, 62 goals): No need to say too much about the “Golden Boy” of the football village. Maradona and Pele are considered the two greatest players in history. Maradona’s playing skills are almost comprehensive. He is also known as a free kick expert. 
David Beckham (England, 65 goals): Beckham always draws beautiful curves from the free-kick point. Shots taken by Beckham were difficult, making the keeper almost unstoppable. 
Ronaldinho (Brazil, 66 goals): Ronaldinho’s skillful and mischievous free-kick skills really hurt the opponent’s defense. At his peak, Ronaldinho was almost unstoppable every time he stepped onto the pitch. 
Victor Legrottaglie (Argentina, 66 goals): Maybe not as famous throughout Europe as many other South American colleagues, but Legrottaglie makes the football world admire by his impressive free kick ability. He is the Argentinian player who has scored the most goals from a free-kick in history. 
Pele (Brazil, 70 goals): It’s hard to find the weakness of “Football King” Pele. He plays creatively, possesses skillful technique and is full of speed. Pele’s ability to kick the fence is also impeccable. 
Juninho Pernambucano (Brazil, 77 goals): It is no coincidence that Juninho is nicknamed “King of free kicks”. He is considered the best free kick player of all time. The record of 77 goals is an achievement that can hardly be leveled. No matter the distance or the distance, regardless of the angle, Juninho is mostly able to take the penalty kicks successfully with unbelievable accuracy.
