Zico

Zico is considered by Brazilian football historians as the greatest dead-ball specialist in South American football history, scoring over 50 direct free-kick goals across his career. He generated such velocity and accuracy with his right foot that Pelé described him as "the most technically complete player Brazil ever produced after me." His free-kick technique at Flamengo — a curling right-foot strike over the wall with late dip — was the template for every Brazilian free-kick specialist in the following generation. He scored free-kicks in four consecutive Copa Libertadores campaigns.
