Last Saturday the Juve center forward scored a brace against Lazio with his “weak” foot. In his case, the right. An event that is far from rare, as demonstrated by the champions who before him scored goals using their weaker extremity
Paulo Roberto Cotechiño was ambidextrous but also ambileft and today who knows, maybe he would be useful in a football where we talk about a dominant foot and a weak foot, where the latter at best acts as a support and at worst as a crutch. So when an attacker scores with the other foot – the one he usually uses sparingly – one is very surprised, as happened when Dusan Vlahovic scored – with his right foot, he being a natural left-footed player – a brace against Lazio. In the same match Federico Chiesa – whose confidence in scoring rests on the right – performed in a football textbook left winger.
