The five-year impact of the new free kick rule in football

More news - News 24 hours In the fall of 2017, free kicks began to be considered a real offensive tool.

Once considered a talented but unremarkable player, the American has become a global sensation in 2024. This newfound fame, however, presents a unique challenge for a man who previously held his privacy in high regard.
