Pep Guardiola names best free-kick taker he's ever seen

Speaking after Man City’s 1-0 win over Southampton in the Premier League, Pep Guardiola told BBC: “They have the best free-kick taker I have seen in my life in [James] Ward-Prowse.

“Their position in the table, Ralph [Hasenhuttl] is doing an excellent job.”

In his managerial career itself, Guardiola has worked with some excellent free-kick specialists including the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi and Kevin de Bruyne. But the fact that Pep values Ward-Prowse above all these superstars proves just how exceptional the Englishman’s ability is taking set-pieces.

Ward-Prowse has scored 4 goals in 14 Premier League games this season out of which 3 have been through direct free-kicks, proving how incredible his accuracy really is from those situations.
