Chelsea fans may have Ronaldinho and David Beckham to thank as they celebrate midfielder Willian slotting home free-kicks.
The Brazil international has been of the few bright lights in a nightmare campaign for the defending Premier League champions and has found the net eight times in all competitions for the club, with six of those goals coming from free-kicks.
“There are some players I always watched – various players who I knew hit the ball well,” Willian told uefa.com.
“Ronaldinho and David Beckham, they took free-kicks and took them very well, so there are some players I always try to follow and to learn important things from so that I am able to score goals.”
Willian netted four free-kicks in as many games in September and October including a late equaliser against Newcastle at St James’ Park and spectacular efforts against Porto and Southampton.
