Willian

Where would we be without him this season?

[Kieran. 6,317]

Love to see him thrive like this.

How long will this go on? FK #5 I think.

#6

Are you Pirlo in disguise??

Even crazier. I'm just waiting for the dry spell. Not that I want it to happen but there's no other way. 8-10 FKs in a season is very rare, 10+ is extremely rare. Maybe Oscar can score a few when it happens or something.

But great stuff from Willian. Reminds me of Drogba in 09/10. Out of nothing he became a specialist for a year. Never came close to it ever again.

Pirlo has been Willian in disguise this whole time.

a week or so ago someone said he was lucky .. Watch carefully and you will see superb placement with swerve .. Zola could do it .. IT TAKES hours of practise week in and week out and suddenly you find you are lucky .. A slight plagarism from Gary Player

His accuracy to hit the target is very high, I think none of his direct freekicks were not on target this season.

Do you remember that one against Kiev away that hit the bar?Or the one that was saved by the keeper against Soton/Liverpool/West Ham?

I hope he also masters to take direct freekicks from the right side like Zola.

By the way, he might have broken a record today. Has any other player ever scored more than 4 direct freekicks in the UCL group stage?

That's true. He hits them with speed as well. His technique has been flawless this year.

Another Zola from free-kicks. That would be the dream. It would also add another dimension to his game.

Now if he could only find the right formula for his corners. But maybe I'm getting greedy.

Yeah that would be like asking 3 presents for Christmas (or Sinterklaas)

But well, today Cahill scored from his corner, so there is potential!

I dont remember when we signed Juninho but I wont complain.

I am not sure whether the 2-1 vs Swansea was credited as an own goal but if so, all his 6 goals this season came from freekicks. That highlights the disparity of his finishing and free kicks ability. But i guess u cannot get too greedy. his set piece ability + his defensive work should justify his selection.

The 2nd goal was an own goal against Swansea

Willian is on a different class right now, great season he´s having, immense work horse, wonderful player, he´s got my vote for Chelsea player of the year and if he keeps up this free kick form he will surpass Zola´s tally of 14 free kicks for Chelsea very soon, long may it continue. Good luck Willian, keep up the great work and i hope you stay with us many years and become a club legend, he definetely deserves a new and better contract, he has earned it Cheers

[CHOULO19 24,332]

The spin and speed of the dip on the ball is just perfection.The fact that he is able to come up with such quality so consistently is just phenomenal.

Reminds me of a period of a few months in 2012 (or was it 13?) when every FK that Del Piero touched turned to gold.

[manpe 10,861]

Anybody have a gif/video of the overhead skill he did at one point? I don't remember the minute or anything, but he basically lifted the ball over a defender to retain possession. That was class.

[Special Juan 27,429]

Love watching this guy, absolute quality.

[Stats 7,056]

Still not good enough for some people. It is not just the fact that he is scoring free kicks, he is generally our best player this season in open play by far. Yet, some feel we need to upgrade. It is the other star players in our team who need to upgrade and perform like Willian. He has been immense and thoroughly deserves his reported new contract.
