Waste of time shooting from there (Video)

Everyone loves a long range screamer. There’s nothing better than watching a player unleash an absolute howitzer from range and see it end up in the back of the net.

Usually these sorts of goals are scored from around thirty or forty yards, anything more and its usually the result of a lucky bounce or a horrific goalkeeping error.

So here for your viewing pleasure is an absolute beast of a strike from Valencia’s French centre back Adil Rami against Llagostera in the Copa Del Rey.

Rami is not exactly known for his goal scoring prowess and has only scored 13 goals in a ten year professional career so I’m sure this one will live long in the memory.

What makes it all the more special is that he is in his own half when he strikes it, and manages to beat the despairing goalkeeper who is nothing more than a spectator as he tries to make it back onto his line in time.

Golazo indeed.
