The most powerful blow in the world. Who has the strongest kick in football: ranking The strongest kick in taekwondo

“Euro-Futbol.Ru”, as part of the “Best of the Best” section, recalls the most powerful blows in football

Hitting is one of the main components of the game of football. There are no goals scored without shots - the number one apotheosis of sport. We admire beautiful kicks tirelessly, we study in detail the technique and manner of their execution by football idols. Each star player has his own unique procedure for taking a shot: Cristiano Ronaldo sets his feet wide apart, shoulder-width apart, David Beckham arches his body in a special way, Roberto Carlos quickly minces his feet before touching the ball. Alas, football is not the most recorded sport in terms of statistical indicators. IN athletics every movement of an athlete is analyzed and read by millions of statisticians. As a team sport in football, everything is subordinated to the collective achievements of the team. At the same time, teams consist of a set of individuals, without whose efforts even the most stellar club will be just a “bare” brand and nothing more.

It is not accepted everywhere and not always to calculate the force of the ball’s flight after a football player’s kick. This kind of information is not systematized anywhere. Nevertheless, well-known special cases end up in the press and become the subject of discussion. “Euro-Futbol.Ru”, as part of the “Best of the Best” section, analyzes the strongest hits in football and presents foreign and domestic candidates.

In 1973, the famous Soviet coach Konstantin Lyaskovsky released his own brochure called “Strike Technique”. In it, the author examined various aspects of striking the ball, the “mechanics” of each of them, illustrated the “shot” of Grigory Fedotov, talked about the connection between strikes and tactics, and provided a number of exercises for improving the strength and accuracy of strikes. The author of the brochure devoted increased attention namely kicks, since after them the lion's share of goals are scored. The classification of kicking the ball is divided into the following methods of execution:

- hit internal part rise;

- impact with the middle part of the lift;

- hit outer part rise;

- hit inside feet;

- hit outside feet;

- kick with a toe;

- heel strike.

HIT LIKE CARLOS

In the history of football Roberto Carlos da Silva Rocha(since 2011, the last part of the Brazilian’s initials can be changed to Rasha) will remain not so much as a high-quality full-back with outstanding speed, but as the owner of a fantastic strike from medium and long range. In other cases, just one hundred and sixty-eight centimeters of “living height” can serve as a complex for a professional football player, but Roberto Carlos never tried to be taller or heavier (his weight almost always did not exceed the “bar” of seventy-five kilograms).

Wherever Roberto Carlos plays (whether in the little-known Brazilian “Union” São João or in the country’s largest “Palmeiras”, or in real European top clubs - Real Madrid and Inter Milan, and later in Fenerbahçe and Corinthians), the undersized defender hit the opponents' goal with enviable regularity with his signature crushing shots.

The first inclinations of a powerful blow appeared in Carlos at the age of fifteen. It’s all because of nature, which rewarded Roberto with ideal parameters for a strong blow. Short legs and powerful hips (a well-known fact: Roberto Carlos’s hip circumference in his youth was fifty-eight centimeters!) contributed to the development of the most best qualities Carlos the football player. Carlos showed off his amazing physics until he was thirty-three years old, when the Brazilian stopped running a hundred meters in less than eleven seconds and pumping abdominal Press continuously for a whole hour.

The main “calling card” of Roberto Carlos is his signature free kicks, after which the ball flies along an unpredictable trajectory straight into the goal. In his best years (while playing for Real Madrid), every second Carlos free kick resulted in a goal. Before the “shot,” the Brazilian performed a long run-up; while approaching the ball, the South American quickly minced his feet and delivered his deadly number. The football players defending in the “walls” usually did not have to worry: the ball still went around them, like an attentive cat avoiding a pack of dogs on its way.

It was difficult to blame the goalkeepers: in addition to the power of the shot, they had to guess where exactly the ball would fly - to the left or to the right of themselves, or maybe in the center? Roberto was equally successful in sending balls low and through the air. “I only hit with the outside of my foot, this gives the ball an unpredictable trajectory. It happens that I pick up size thirty-eight boots. The foot is a little uncomfortable, but the leather base fits tightly to the foot,” says Roberto Carlos about his famous mid- and long-range shots. Of course, over the years, the frequency of Roberto Carlos hitting an opponent’s goal has decreased, but from time to time the Brazilian pleases the audience with goals of his own making. First free kick for own new club Roberto Carlos played Anzhi from Makhachkala in the Russian Championship game against Spartak Nalchik. The ball was placed on the right edge of the field, but Roberto struck an irresistible "shot" along the ground into the far bottom corner. Without hitting anyone, the “projectile” ended up in the net exactly where the performer sent it.

Of the huge number of impressive free kicks by Roberto Carlos, his “shot” made on June 3, 1997 against the French national team stands out. Exactly one year before the World Cup was held in this country, four national teams in the unofficial Confederations Cup held a rehearsal for the final tournament of the World Cup.

In the very interesting match tournament, Brazil met with the hosts, the French. The guests received the right to a penalty kick thirty-five meters from the possessions of the French team. Roberto Carlos came forward to take the kick. The shaven-headed full-back, after a long run-up, made a stunning shot that went into football history. A sample of the most outlandish flight trajectory of the ball caused real controversy among specialists and scientists. It's no joke, the ball, launched from thirty-five meters with the outside of the left foot, first went around the "wall" to the right corner, and just before the goal it unexpectedly changed direction along a parabolic trajectory and turned sharply towards the stronghold of the "forest of blouses". A ricochet off the post helped Carlos outwit a completely disheartened Fabien Barthez, who described the goal like this: “I was sure Carlos had missed, the ball was flying wide, but nevertheless it hit the goal. It’s pure fantasy.”

Scientists from the injured party tried to explain in scientific language the theory of the origin of Roberto Carlos's goal. They immediately rejected the theory that the memorable blow was just a coincidence. The French even came up with an equation to explain the Brazilian's goal: “The football player minimized the effect of gravity and air turbulence. Such a strike can be repeated, but only if the ball is given the necessary energy and torque. We have shown that a moving sphere describes a spiral trajectory when rotating. "In this case, the curvature increases as the ball moves. Since Roberto Carlos was thirty-five meters from the target, most of the ball's trajectory was visible, but not all of it. The "physically impossible" trajectory actually follows the exact laws of increasing curvature." According to French scientists, the goal prevented Roberto Carlos from completing the kick, since if not for them, the ball would have continued its twisting path.

It is no coincidence that Roberto Carlos's strikes have been closely monitored over the past fifteen years. Statistics show us the real numbers of Roberto Carlos’s “shot” from a free kick on the goal of the French team – 136 kilometers per hour! At the same time, this is not Roberto's most impressive blow. Once upon a time, a Brazilian succeeded in a trick based on the strength and speed of the ball - 198 kilometers per hour.

NEW RECORD BREAKER

It is not difficult to guess that Roberto Carlos for a long time was the bearer of the strongest blow in the history of football. He was replaced by a German striker Lukas Podolski, who had previously shown no signs of having his favorite “gun.” New record was installed in 2010 at the World Championships in South Africa.

The first game of the German national team against Australia led to record blow"Prince Poldi". In the eighth minute of the match, the Australians left Podolski alone on the right corner of the penalty area. The striker did not hesitate and delivered a devastating blow to the near upper corner. The ball flew only sixteen meters, but at a speed 201 km/h! Australian keeper Mark Schwarzer managed to put up right hand, but the blow turned out to be so strong that Podolski wrote his name down in the match report without any problems. Never before has Podolski been known for his strong punches. His trump cards lay elsewhere - high speed, skillful choice of position, excellent understanding with partners, the ability to maintain tone without even entering the field. It is worth adding that the author of the most powerful strike in football plays in the tenth team of the German championship at the end of the 2010-2011 season, Cologne. A couple of months ago there was active talk about his impending transfer to Zenit St. Petersburg, but negotiations apparently fell through at the very last moment.

RATING "GUARDIAN"

The famous British publication The Guardian has compiled its ranking of the owners of the most powerful kicks in football. The English Championship, as well as all English football, has been painstakingly assessed by statisticians since 2000, when most of the British press acquired a special computer that records all interesting indicators. Football federation historian David Barber admits that his organization does not keep any official calculations, and he refuses to give exact figures. However, the Guardian version can be considered as close to perfect as possible. Its main drawback is its narrow profile. The Guardian, except for rare examples, deals exclusively with events English football, but there are quite a lot of Premier League fans in our country, so they may find the information very, very informative.

Nobody promised you, dear readers, that every swipe must end with a goal scored. In the end, in addition to goalkeepers, crossbars, goal posts are ready to help, and misses are not uncommon in modern football. The record holder, according to The Guardian, is David Hirst, who played for Sheffield Wednesday. The namesake of the author of the only “hat-trick” in the World Cup finals went down in history not only as the man who pushed harder than all other football players in the English Premier League, but also as a football player who refused the tempting offers of Sir Alex himself six times Ferguson. In the early 90s, the Manchester United coach offered the talented striker to join his team. It was the heyday of a football player. By 1991, the forward had accumulated a wealth of experience playing in the youth and second teams. national team countries. Then came a call to the main team of the “three lions”, in which Hirst played three games and scored one goal. Perhaps, if David had accepted Ferguson’s invitation, there would have been two star Davids at Manchester United. The striker, devoted to his colors, possessing amazing talent, played in only three clubs. Barnsley and Southampton were little remembered by the forward, but Sheffield Wednesday, together with David, reached the FA Cup final in 1993. As a Night Owl, Hirst made 294 appearances and 106 appearances for the club.

Hirst played one of his most memorable matches in the form of the Owls on September 16, 1996 at the old home stadium of London Arsenal. At the end of the match, when the Gunners' final advantage was no longer in doubt, the guests earned the right to a corner kick. There followed a quick play with a long “candle” in the Arsenal penalty area, which ended with Hirst hitting the crossbar with crazy force from about eleven meters. Experts later found out that the impact reached speed 183 kilometers per hour. Hirst's "shot" turned out to be so powerful that after the game the "managers" of the Highbury stadium brought the crossbar to right side fields are in order.

David Beckham- the only football player to be included in the Guardian rating twice. Having gone to the USA, Beckham pleases us less with news about himself. David's last European appearance did not take place on a football field, but during the wedding ceremony of Kate Middleton and Prince William. Then “Bex” mixed up the sides of the jacket where he could hang his awards in front of the Kingdom. Beckham's "crown" is his free kicks, which are usually not strong, but rather accurate. However, David can certainly hit the ball with such force that the opposing goalkeeper will be amazed. It is symbolic that on two occasions Beckham performed his strongest shots in early age, when the strength is great, and the experience is minimal. Probably, in subsequent years, the Red Devils midfielder would have tried to play “skinny”, but the bet on strength did not let Becks down in the late 1990s. For the first time, David showed his skills in 1996 in a match against Derby County, when the ball after his kick flew towards the opponent’s goal at speed 80 mph (128 km/h). Exactly a year later, Beckham scored again, hitting the Chelsea goal on February 22, 1997. What could the Blues goalkeeper do if the ball was flying towards him at speed? 156 km/h?!

Will you tell the mystic that another participant in the ranking of the hardest-hitting football players in England also “comes” from Sheffield Wednesday? You might be right. Ritchie John Hamreys born and raised in Sheffield, it is no coincidence that he was a teammate of the aforementioned David Hirst. The left winger spent his best years in his native team at the very high level, and only then went on numerous loans to lower division teams. Ritchie made his memorable strike and, accordingly, scored a goal in his debut game in the Premier League, upsetting the Birmingham goalkeeper of Aston Villa in mid-August. 154 kilometers per hour became an excuse for the people of Birmingham.

Matt Le Tissier in 1997, as a Southampton player, he scored against Newcastle with a powerful shot that was fast 136 kilometers per hour. Four years earlier, Le Tissier scored an equally stunning goal against the Magpies. Having picked up the ball in the center circle, Matt began, like some kind of first-class clown, to juggle it all the way to the opponent’s penalty area. The defenders of the "magpies" were discouraged by Tissier's "behavior", and he, in last time throwing the ball over the opponent, he secured a goal for the rest of the year. In the same year, 2007, Newcastle hosted Leicester City. It’s not hard to guess that the incomparable player scored for the home team Alan Shearer. By the middle of the second half, despite the open score, the guests from Leicester were ahead by two goals, but Alan Shearer scored three goals at once in the last minutes and acted as his team’s rescuer. Our nomination includes Shearer's very first goal, scored by him in the seventy-seventh minute of the match. Shearer sent the ball under the crossbar with a direct free-kick from twenty-three meters at a speed 136 km/h.

Two famous performers of the English Premier League were only slightly behind Shearer - Tugai, played for Blackburn in 2001 and Obafemi Martins. The African, well known to us from his performances for Rubin Kazan, scored a stunning shot into the near upper corner of the Tottenham Hotspur goal in 2007. Martins always had a well-placed shot. The only trouble is that over the years, Obafemi has become slower to receive the ball and slower to open up to passes. And Martins has somehow stopped pleasing us with his acrobatic movements...

One of the best football players modernity Cristiano Ronaldo He can not only run fast, but also hit the goal hard. We do not have exact information regarding the strength of Kri Ro’s “shots,” but we know for sure that Cristiano has been working on the following components of a successful strike for himself for many years: aiming, run-up and impact, and the trajectory of the ball. The ball flies into the target with equal success and strength after Ronaldo’s shots from set pieces or field goals. Let's just add that Ronaldo spends a little more than two seconds processing the ball for the next shot, which puts the defenders of the defending side in a real dead end. Unlike Ronaldo, he is Balkan Sinisa Mihajlovic was marked by rare field goals, but from free kicks Mikhailovich will give odds to many authors of wonderful shots, including Cristiano Ronaldo. The current Fiorentina coach was known for his strong kicks, but they brought him international recognition.

OUR PERFORMERS

We have written, we are writing and we will write that the goal of Euro-Futbol.Ru is not only to talk about the heroes of the present time, but also at least sometimes to remember the idols of Soviet boys, who in their skill were several times superior to all current domestic “stars” once. One of the forgotten players is Gennady Alexandrovich Krasnitsky. They joked about him that the striker always entered the field with a red ribbon on his leg according to the principle: “Don’t get hit, goalkeeper, I’ll kill you.” They also joked that Krasnitsky was supposedly forbidden to hit the opponent’s goal with his kicking leg for fear of injuring someone. Of course, all this is nothing more than jokes, but in every joke there is only a grain of joke, and everything else is the true truth. There was no red ribbon on Krasnitsky’s leg, but his powerful blows became a household name not only within the Soviet Union.

Modern readers will probably be curious to learn more about the figure of such a monolithic player. Gennady Aleksandrovich was born, raised and spent his entire life in only one city - Tashkent. He was a true patriot of the Uzbek SSR. He always took part in social events, served as an example of behavior on the field (never indulged in endless simulations and conversations with referees), refused Spartak, three Dynamo (from Moscow, Kiev and Tbilisi), CSKA. In his life there was only one team - Pakhtakor. For his devotion, Krasnitsky received the official title of the best Uzbek football player of the twentieth century in the late 90s! Despite the fact that in modern Uzbekistan their Berador Abduraimov is praised, nevertheless, Krasnitsky managed to push the indigenous resident of the republic to second place. This once again shows, firstly, that Uzbekistan has always been a multinational country without putting any particular group of people in the first role and, secondly, that Krasnitsky’s authority in Uzbekistan is at the very, very highest level .

Krasnitsky played 245 games for Pakhtakor, in which he scored 102 goals. For a whole decade (1960-1970), Gennady Aleksandrovich personified his native Tashkent team, which was in good standing in the Soviet Union. Krasnitsky was valued and respected not only in his native republic, but also at the highest level. In 1963, Gennady Alexandrovich was included in the USSR national team for a tour of South America.

In the game with the Brazilians, a penalty kick was awarded against the home team, and it was Krasnitsky who approached the ball. At that time, rivals did not yet have the opportunity to thoroughly study each other due to the poor development of the media. Therefore, the South Americans did not even suspect what they had doomed themselves to. “I really want to spin the ball. Let them know that we are also familiar with the “dry sheet”. I hit hard with the inside of my foot. It turned out the way it should. Having rounded the wall, the ball flies into the corner unprotected by the goalkeeper. The stands are silent. But I want to scream at the top of my lungs : "Goal, goal! And even in Brazil! And he scored great!” Gennady Krasnitsky himself wrote in his autobiographical book.

Georgy Ryabov, who played on the same field as our hero, echoes him: “In Lima we played with the Brazilian Olympic team, and Geshka scored from a free kick from 17 meters - the ball hit the net! Didi was sitting on the bench near the exit of the tunnel and didn’t even believe it , that there was a goal. Then he admired: they say, not a ball, but a brick flew into the goal. In Tashkent, Gennady hit the crossbar from about twenty meters - the goal shook! Lev Ivanovich grabbed his head: “Mamma Mia!” I didn’t stand in the “wall” , when Gesha beat. I was afraid."

Krasnitsky's miracles in South America did not end there! When hitting in the second match, Gennady broke through the opponent's goal net! “It was the 83rd minute. Everything was heading towards zero.” But then a penalty kick was awarded for an obvious demolition of Lobanovsky about twenty meters from the goal. Approaching me, he asked: “Gena, do it!” The next day our translator read in the newspaper “ Correo: “If the ball had hit the goalkeeper, the team would have had to look for another goalkeeper. “Crystal has been knocked out…” – we again present excerpts from Krasnitsky’s book.

Kristall's mentor, the same Didi, categorically denied the correctness of the goal, believing that Krasnitsky took advantage of a hole in the net and cheated. Referee Almeida pointed out to Didi the strength of his opponent's kick, after which the Brazilian football legend fell silent for the rest of the match. After the final whistle, grateful Brazilian spectators carried Krasnitsky off the field in their arms! Another time, Krasnitsky hit the goal net in Greece - also as part of an international match.

“In ’67, Spartak played with Pakhtakor. The referee gave a free kick in the center of the field. And Krasnitsky got into a fight with our Sasha Sokolov and out of anger decided to hit him. But he missed - but hit the goal. We ask Maslachenko: “Well didn’t catch it?" - “Yes, the ball was bouncing now to the right, now to the left!” - Nikolai Osyanin said about Krasnitsky. That missed ball was always remembered by Maslachenko when famous goalkeeper"Spartak" exchanged gloves for a commentary microphone.

Lokomotiv player of the late 60s Yuri Ivanov was “content” with the fact that in 1969 he fell under Krasnitsky’s attack: “In 69 we played with Pakhtakor in Cherkizovo. About 25 meters from ours the goal was awarded a penalty kick. I wasn’t in the “wall” - I was standing nearby, directing. That’s when Krasnitsky hit me - and hit me in the head. I don’t remember what happened after - I lost my memory, lost consciousness. On top of everything else, the field was wet from rain, and the balls of that time immediately became heavier from the water. I somehow finished the game, but then I got checked and it turned out that I had a slight concussion...”

Outside football field Gennady Krasnitsky was not as stable. He was repeatedly caught for violating the sports regime: Gennady Aleksandrovich, let’s be honest, loved to drink. Krasnitsky did not drink alone, but always with a noisy company. Kind by nature, but at the same time wayward, Krasnitsky never refused young people their desire to sit next to the star and exchange opinions about the game and life. On June 12, 1988, at the age of forty-seven years, Gennady Krasnitsky died under unclear circumstances. On the sidelines they still continue to talk about the non-accidentality of Krasnitsky’s death. The fact is that in 1987, the former Pakhtakor striker made attempts to advance in his career, but the leadership of local football refused him this, leaving both his position and salary at the same level. To divert attention, Krasnitsky was transferred to the category of referee-inspector of matches of the Uzbekistan championship. Krasnitsky arrived in Kurgan-Tube to inspect the local championship game. That's where investigators found him, recording him jumping out of a hotel room window. No one knows whether he committed suicide or, to put it mildly, he was “helped” to go to another world, but no one will be able to forget the legend of Uzbek football.

Grigory Ivanovich Fedotov- an earlier Soviet football player, after whom the great club of scorers in the domestic game is named. It was he who was the first to reach the milestone of one hundred goals scored in professional level. There was a lot in Fedotov’s “arsenal,” but the most important thing in him was, of course, the technique and manner of executing the “shot.” Grigory Ivanovich, by his own admission, often remained on the field after training in order to practice his shots personally and without unnecessary coaching instructions.

In our current Russian championship there are also players whose strikes are not an empty phrase for opponents. Last season he made a real splash with his brilliant “shots” from set pieces Alexander Aliev. Moscow “Lokomotiv” had the honor of seeing Aliyev in its lineup for only one season, but Alexander will be in the minds and souls of the “red-green” fans for a long time. Aliyev arrived in Moscow as an undisputed master of standards, but what we saw in the Lokomotiv lineup exceeded even our wildest expectations. In the first half of the season, almost every second free kick ended in a missed goal for Lokomotiv's opponents. Aliyev was not so successful with the dynamic ball, however, this is no longer so important.

No one dared to measure the force of Aliyev’s blows, but we know some of the subtleties of his “shots.” Alexander has foot size thirty-nine (as we remember from Roberto Carlos, the most ideal foot size for a free-kick taker). It is this that allows you to find the optimal contact of modern balls with the kicking leg. The toe fully enters the ball, and it flies at a respectable speed, changing its trajectory directly in flight. The most convenient point for Aliyev to take a shot is twenty-five to thirty meters from the goal, three to four meters to the left of the field axis. Alexander delivers all his blows with his right foot. The type of his strike is direct with the help of a lift. The ideal run-up according to Aliyev is three steps.

"Training is the key to Aliyev's success. Physiology (small leg size), the ball - that's all later. His success is 98% painstaking daily work on his strike. Semin in Kiev forces Sasha to hit from different points. I think Aliyev is among the top five today the best set-piece takers in Europe. And he enters with confidence. And this is without any flattery. After all, even Cristiano doesn’t score that much. Sasha has an amazing shot both in trajectory and in power. He can hit equally well both from close range and from long distance "The shot, as they say, is placed - the ball "dives" in front of the goalkeeper. I hit a little differently. Let's say, if the distance is large, I can use force," Maxim Kalinichenko shares his impressions.

Andrey Karyaka, playing for the Samara "Wings of the Soviets", taught us all that every standard in his performance is akin to scoring a goal. There was a period in Karyaka’s career (it occurred in the first half of the 2000s) when his free kicks became a hit throughout the championship. For Andrey, it made no difference from what distance and to whom to score - Spartak, Zenit - all the top teams in our championship suffered greatly from Karyaka’s attacks. Explaining his phenomenon, Karyaka always noticed that there was a place for luck and skill in his goals. After his return to our championship, we practically did not see any striking blows from Andrey. Before the start of the current transition tournament, Karyaka told the official Dynamo website: “Well, I hope everything will be fine this year. I had a number of injuries that did not allow me to hit at full strength. Now, pah-pah-pah, everything is fine "I would like to believe that this season we will all remember the power of impact."

Sergei Ignashevich and Igor Akinfeev have different opportunities in official matches to demonstrate to the public and opponents the strength of their blows. If Ignashevich is a full-time standard taker, Akinfeev limits himself to putting the ball into play with great style. Ignashevich's impact first appeared in the early 2000s, when his Lokomotiv made its way to its first Champions League. The central defender approached the ball, slowly but quite strongly ran up and delivered his signature shots on goal. Ignashevich tried to hit strictly in the center, without any cuts or twists to the right or left of the “wall”. Therefore, the players standing in it always have a hard time: there is a high probability that Ignashevich, God forbid, will charge into the most piquant place for a man. As for Igor Akinfeev, the goalkeeper of the Russian national team can, with a strong desire, not only put the ball into play, but also be a club “cannon”. At all training sessions, army teammates are surprised by the strength of Akinfeev’s delivered blow.

Denis Kolodin- another attraction of our championship, as well as Sergei Ignashevich, who is the central defender of his club. At Dynamo, Kolodin has little chance to show his scoring abilities due to the unstable play of the blue and white team. Kolodin had his “finest hour” in 2008 at the European Championships. Surprised European statisticians calculated the strength of Kolodin’s “shots” against Edwin Van Der Sar’s goal. After the match great goalkeeper Manchester United put Denis on the list of their most unpleasant opponents on the field. Kolodin rarely shoots free kicks, but last year Denis scored one of the most beautiful goals in the Russian championship: the central defender scored a shot over himself into the far corner.

Last year the whole country learned about the full-back's abilities Dmitry Molosh. Playing for the outsider club of the championship, Novosibirsk Sibir, Molosh managed to remain in the memory thanks to his cool long-range strikes. Molosh scores almost all of his own goals from outside the penalty area. Last season, Lokomotiv goalkeeper Marinato Guilherme felt Dmitry Molosh's powerful left-footed strike three times. After Siberia's relegation from the Premier League, Molosh found refuge in Samara's Krylya Sovetov. Let us note that Molosh, playing for Nosta Nosta Novotroitsk, scored against the Donetsk team literally from the center of the field in the 2008 game against Rostov in the First Division!

People have always wanted to be famous, popular and recognized. Someone achieves this by acting, others make money through their talent.

But there are also those who have the physical ability to do incredible things that are impossible or very difficult to replicate. They set all kinds of records that glorify their skills throughout the world.

The Guinness Book of Records collects and records such achievements throughout planet Earth, bringing considerable pleasure to its readers. But many people don’t like the fact that there are such records that cannot be classified as competitive or sports - they are simply crazy or so meaningless that no one even has the desire to repeat them.

Also, the Guinness Book of Records does not record the force of impact in a particular sport. This is often due to the impossibility of instantly determining the force of the blow, as this forces a bunch of sensors to be connected, which can pose a danger to the athlete’s life during a fight.

But don’t worry, in this article you can find answers to such questions and understand who has the strongest blow in history.

It's hard to judge

As already mentioned, it is very difficult to determine the force of the blow. For example, in football you cannot run with a football player all the time and measure the speed of the ball, or in boxing it is impossible to stand in the ring with athletes and record the power of each blow thrown.

But sports fans, as well as experts and observers, often make their own ratings in which they note the achievements in strength of certain athletes.

When answering the question of who has the strongest blow, it is impossible to give a definite answer, since strength depends on many factors. Quite a lot important point is which limb struck and under what circumstances.

In addition, an important point is the ratio of the athlete’s weight to the force of his blow. Of course, the force released is affected by the ejected mass and the speed of the impact. But it very often happens when an athlete weighs 50 kg less, and his impact force approaches that of heavyweights over 120 kg.

Who owns the strongest punch?

There are many types of martial arts in the world where they teach you to hit hard. But, in order to measure the force of a blow during a fight, it is necessary to have special equipment. Only boxing and kickboxing are progressing in this regard.

Boxers have always been considered athletes who can deliver powerful punches. The most famous representative of the boxing world is Mike Tyson, whom absolutely everyone knows, despite the fact that he long ago completed his professional career.

Powerful Mike

It was believed that he had the most powerful hand blow. On many rides where you need to hit a special bag to test the force of the blow, there is a photo of Mike. It is written on them that the force of his hand strike is 800 kg.

This figure is truly outstanding, and we can say that he has the strongest punch in boxing. Considering the fact that to knock out another person it is enough to have a blow with a force of about 15 kilograms, but you need to hit the jaw clearly with a sharp throw of the hand in a circular path - this is truly amazing power.

David Tua

When asked who has the hardest punch in boxing, many name David Tua, a Samoan boxer. Experts believe that with his left hand he struck with a power of 1024 kilograms.

You won't envy his rivals. If today he was in the same shape as in his best years, then perhaps he would be a good opponent for Vladimir Klitschko, otherwise he too often comes across weak opponents.

Who owns the strongest kick?

No less concerned is the issue of incredibly strong kicks. Initially it was believed that the owners of such blows lower limbs Only karatekas and taekwondokas become.

But recently, thanks to mixed tournaments, Muay Thai and Ultimate Fighting have been added to the martial arts in which the most powerful kicks are performed.

From time to time, various television shows are shown with popular fighters, in which the strength of their punches is compared. But the results of such experiments are often subjective. After all, each of them has their own execution technique, and this significantly affects the output power.

So, for example, a kick performed by a mixed style heavy league fighter Mirko Cro Cop reaches a power of 2703 kg! Let's compare the strength of this blow with the capabilities of Mike Zambidis, who, weighing 70 kilograms, manages to hit with a force of 1870 kg with his right foot.

Of course, it is not clear how and where the strength of fighters’ blows is measured, but it is difficult to deny that it is better not to pester them in a dark alley.

Elbow and knee strikes

Muay Thai fighters are rightfully considered true masters of striking with knees and elbows. In competitions, very often they literally cut the opponent’s skin with such blows.

Because of this, very often you can see a bloody spectacle, rather than a duel. Some people like it, some don't. Of course, due to less leverage the blow is more powerful.

But can everything be measured in kilograms per square centimeter? Impact force is a relative indicator that must be correlated with efficiency. The Thais prove that with a weight of 40-50 kilograms, you can deliver blows that can knock out your opponent the first time.

What were the players able to celebrate?

Football is called the game of millions. Indeed, watching football matches millions of television viewers gather, not to mention tens of thousands of fans on football fields.

Football is the most popular game. Football players must be able to kick the ball strongly and accurately to score a goal.

And in this field very often football experts, journalists note players who deliver incredible blows.

Today, the holder of the title “The most powerful strike of a football player” is midfielder of the Brazilian national team Givanildo Vieira de Souza. He is known to everyone as the Hulk.

Incredibly, while playing against the Shakhtar Donetsk team, he was able to score a goal with a ball that flew into the net at a speed of 214 km/h. The goalkeeper, of course, could not do anything.

For example, the legendary football player Roberto Carlos, who was also a member of the Brazilian national team at one time, was able to hit the ball at a speed of 198 kilometers per hour. Since then, he has long been considered the player with the most powerful strike in the history of football.

Of course, such records of football players are not included in the Guinness Book of Records, but it is simply impossible not to talk about them.

Conclusion

Not all people's records can be included in one book. A nomination such as the strongest blow cannot be found there. But for this there are sports experts who somehow manage to record more and more champions’ records.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the people who have set and continue to set such records. It doesn't matter if you have the hardest punch or can jump the highest, you will always inspire people to overcome impossible obstacles and become better.

Footballers compete in one of the most grueling sports in the world and strong legs- one of the necessary conditions for the success of their career. All famous football players They can boast of a fairly powerful blow, but some of them can hit the ball so hard that it will fly at the speed of a car speeding along the highway - 150 kilometers per hour or even faster.

Get your feet comfortable and we'll tell you who owns the biggest kick in football.

The owner of the most powerful kick in football

When the coach of the Brazilian national team was asked what forward Hulk adds to the team, he answered briefly and succinctly: “ Strength».  « He gives us more power“,” added Mano Menezes with a grin about the man named after the comic book superhero. Although Givanildo Vieira de Sousa, 31, is not one of Brazil's most popular soccer stars, he continues to work hard to silence his critics and prove his worth to his fans.

He received the nickname “Hulk” while still a child. As the football player explains, he really liked this superhero, and his father still calls him by this nickname.

« I'm big and strong“, says the Hulk himself, who looks more like a rugby player or an NFL quarterback. " And I use that power when I'm on the field to help my team.».

The hardest hit in football history Hulk committed while playing for the Portuguese club Porto against the Donetsk team Shakhtar. In September 2011, during a Champions League match, the Brazilian hit the ball so hard that at one point it was flying at a speed of 214 km/h. And all this from a distance of just 34 meters.

Shakhtar's goal was defended by the goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national team Andriy Pyatov. But what could he do against such a shot, which almost knocked out the goal net?

The Incredible Hulk scored another cosmic goal while playing for Russian club"Zenith". In the match against Amkar, the ball sent by the Brazilian into the opponents' goal accelerated to 176 km/h.

The Brazilian currently plays for Chinese team Shanghai SIPG and earns around $21.4 million per year. The amount of his transfer from Zenit to Chinese club amounted to 55.8 million euros. This is a record for the Russian Premier League.

2. Ronnie Eberson (Fortaleza) - 210 km/h
3. Lukasz Podolski (retired) - 202 km/h.

Although the most powerful shot in football so far belongs to the Hulk, the longest shot in football was not scored by the mighty Brazilian. This achievement belongs to Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic. During a match in the English Premier League (2013-2014 season), the ball sent by Asmir Begovic covered a distance of 91.9 meters and flew into the Southampton goal.

And the most spectacular and beautiful beats performed by Roberto Carlos. His free kick at the 1997 World Cup in the Brazil-France match became one of the legends of the sport. Fabien Barthez, the goalkeeper of the French national team, simply stood and watched as the ball flew into his goal in an unimaginable arc.

The goal of the midfielder of the German Bundesliga club Paderborn Moritz Stoppelkamp, ​​scored from 83 meters, updated the record in the category “Goal from the longest distance”. “Lenta.ru” suggests remembering the names of other heroes who at different times sent balls into the opponent’s goal from a crazy distance.

Stoppelkamp's goal will be remembered by fans for a long time. The midfielder scored a goal with a clear shot from 83 meters in the match against Hannover in the 90th minute. The goalkeeper who ran into the attack simply did not have time to return, and the projectile flew into the empty goal.

Until last Sunday, the author of the longest accurate shot in the German championship was the Greek Giorgos Tzavelas. On March 12, 2011, a player from Eintracht Frankfurt managed to score from 73 meters not just anyone, but the goalkeeper of the German national team, Manuel Neuer, who was then still playing for Schalke from Gelsenkirchen.

The officially registered record of all time is still considered to be the goal of English Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, which he scored against Southampton on November 2, 2011. The dispassionate technique calculated that after the Bosnian goalkeeper hit, the projectile flew 91 meters and 90 centimeters. You can’t repeat this on every field. What makes this goal doubly unique is the fact that it was scored in the 12th second of the match.

Domestic goalkeepers also have something to answer. On September 3, 2010, in the FNL championship, the second strongest Russian division, the goalkeeper of Kuban, which was rushing into the Premier League, Alexander Budakov, “charged” the Chelny KamAZ in such a way that his counterpart could only shrug his shoulders. By the way, Budakov’s joyful dancing could well have been noted in “Dancing with the Stars.”

Senegalese legionnaire of South African SuperSport United Mora Dioufa threw the ball behind the collar of the Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper on March 10 last year. Football in South Africa is very cool in itself, like Chuck Norris himself, and the sound of bone-on-bone collisions could well serve as the soundtrack to any action movie. The more valuable such masterpieces are.

But former Dutch national team midfielder Orlando Engelaar demonstrates the high art of long-range strikes on the Green Continent. On 22 March 2014, in a match for Melbourne against the Orlando Coast Mariners, he scored his goal of the year in Australia.

Kick 60 meters? What a surprise. And the other part of the body is weak? No, says Ryujiro Ueda, a defenseman for Japan's Fagiyano Okayama. And scores with his head from a distance of 58 meters 60 centimeters. Since October 30, 2011, it is believed to be the furthest goal scored with a head in history.

However, just five days earlier, this funny thing happened: Odd Greenland player Jone Samuelsen scored against Tromso in a Norwegian championship match. Unlike Japan, high technology was not used here and the distance was calculated offhand - 57 meters. We don’t know whether they re-measured Ueda after the goal.
