Juventus captain, Alessandro Del Piero spoke about his art of taking free-kicks after scoring two in the past week.
Against Real Madrid at the Bernabau in a midweek Champions League tie, Del Piero curled a well executed free-kick over the Madrid wall and into the left corner leaving one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Iker Casillas, stranded.
The midfield maestro did it again at the weekend in the league against Chievo when he picked his spot and left Stefano Sorrentino grasping thin air in goal.
"(Chievo goalkeeper Stefano) Sorrentino had quite the wall, but, I always play my football based on the sensations I'm feeling," he explained.
"Perhaps that is why this year, my strikes have been different."
Del Piero also gave his take on the most important fact of dead-ball situations when he said: "In reality there are many ways to strike a free-kick. The important thing is it goes in."
The player has scored five goals through direct free-kicks this season and with a huge chunk of the season still to be played, goalkeepers across Europe can expect more of Del Piero's dangerous free-kicks to come.
Next up for the 2006 World Cup winner will be Diego Milito's Genoa in Turin.
