Free kick to whites, just inside their half. He’s obviously going to lump it forward into the mixer.
Nearest defender, a sole player, is some 20 yards or so from the ball. All other players are lined up on the edge of the penalty area.
As white defender runs to take free kick, the sole red defender runs towards the ball - think Rugby Union, players charging the ball from under the posts at a conversion attempt. He never got close to being (less than) 10 yards from the ball before it was kicked.
Ball headed harmlessly behind for a goal kick, and I ignored the sole shout of you can’t charge a free kick ...
But it’s got me thinking. Just want to check there was nothing wrong with his actions. After all, you don’t have to remain static at a free kick.
Any thoughts?
