Execution of Move
In association football, the move can either be a pass or a shot towards the goal. There are two major situations where the bicycle kick would be useful in a game situation:
- When a defender is desperate to remove the ball from near his side's goal, but he stands facing the goal and with his back to the direction he wants the ball to go, and the ball is bouncing around and thus difficult to control.
- If a striker has his back to the opponent's goal and is in the opponent's penalty area or nearby, and the ball is bouncing at head height.
Performing a bicycle kick can be quite dangerous when performed incorrectly. A player must take care to brace himself with his arms as he lands back on the ground. The difficulty of the move makes it unanticipated and, therefore, the player runs the potential risk of getting hurt or harming another player. However, as described by BBC Sport, this is one of the acrobatic moves that makes the game much "richer."
