At the annual FIFA awards ceremony, held in Monaco, the author of the most beautiful goal in the world was once again named. Ferenc Puskas Prize for the best goal of 2016 Malaysian football player Faiz Subri got a little-known to the general public.
The best goal of Faiza Subri 02.16.2016
On February 16, 2016, in the home game of the Malaysian Championship against Panang, the Pulau Pinang midfielder hit the opponents' net with a free kick. The distance of 35 meters, from which Subri scored, already makes his goal out of the ordinary. But amazement is caused by the trajectory along which the Malaysian managed to throw the ball.
After his hit, the ball first flew away from the goal, then soared up, turned sharply to the right and fell into the far corner of the goal. However, like any work of art, Subri's goal cannot be adequately described in words, you need to see it:
The winner of the FIFA nomination until his time glory of stars from the sky was not enough. The 29-year-old footballer from the beginning of his career did not stay in one club for more than a year. In 2015, he signed a contract with Pilau Pinang, who then played in the second Malaysian division, and helped him move to the elite.
On average, he scores for his club more than one goal per game, speaking at the positions of the attacking and extreme midfielder, as well as the striker. Subri was called up to the Malaysian team, but he has not yet appeared on the field in the shirt of the Malaysian team.
Subri victory in the competition was determined by modern technology. The video of his ball became viral, first in Asia, and then around the world, collecting hundreds of millions of views on social networks. Voting on the official FIFA website brought Subri official recognition.
Khlomfo Kenana's best goal in the match Cameroon - South Africa
Of the other applicants, the goal of Khlomfo Kekan deserves special respect. The midfielder of the South African national team in an away match against the Cameroon team picked up the ball from his goal and, not reaching the center line, sent him through a short trajectory into the goal.
However, Kekan’s ball didn’t even make it to the trio of finalists. In it, the company to the winner was Brazilian Jonat Marlone and young Venezuelan football player Daniushka Rodriguez. Hit the ball last in the top three goals of FIFA 2016 can be regarded as a tribute to age (Rodriguez has not yet turned 17 years old) and the floor of Daniushka. Winding up two defenders until they lose their pulse in the penalty area and the subsequent shot into the near corner looks funny, but it’s hard to name a beautiful goal scored in the World Cup among girls.
The best goal of Jonatha Marlone
Marlone scored his ball in the Copa Libertadores match against the Chilean Cobresal. Having taken the ball after riding on the left, the Brazilian Corinthians midfielder, not letting him fall on the lawn, hit a corner of the goal with a side scissors.
Lionel Messi and Neymar's Barcelona teammates also made it to the FIFA 2016 best goals list, however, they did not win laurels. A goal from Messi with a direct free-kick; a Brazilian hit after an elegant heel feint did not win the sympathy of Internet users. The Spanish League in the top ten was represented by two more goals. The slalom passage of Saul Nyges from Madrid “Atletico”, during which the nominee defeated four opponents, ended with an accurate round blow to the bottom corner. Mario Gaspard, who plays for Villarreal, in the match between the national teams of Spain and England from the penalty, shot through himself into the upper corner.
The best goal of Simmon Scrubb
The youngest of the men whose goals were on the short list of the best goals of FIFA 2016 was Simon Skrabb. The 21-year-old Finnish midfielder playing for the Swedish IFC, in the match of the Swedish Championship, struck the rival with a “scorpion strike”. After a diagonal pass, Scrubb managed to strike with his heel, not seeing the ball.
Hal Robson-Canu's goal against Belgium at Euro 2016
The goal of the Welshman Hal Robson-Kanu, scored against the goal of Belgium at Euro 2016, is beautiful not so much with a final blow as with preparation for it. Get a frankly uncomfortable pass in the center of the penalty area, Robson-Kanu left a group of defenders out of work in one motion and shot the gate without resistance.
FIFA has identified the best goal of the year in the world for the eighth time. Subri was the first Asian winner of the FIFA Best Goal of the Year contest. Before him, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Hamit Altıntop, James Rodriguez, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Miroslav Stoch and Wendell Lira won the nomination.
