A wave of euphoria washed across the stadium like a Tsunami when Nicki Nielsen scored Rosenborg's second goal. Kristin even noticed some Rosenborg fans taking off their shirts in the heat of the excitement. Unbothered by the cold, they continued waving their shirts in the air, chanting the Rosenborg victory slogans at the top of their voices. The atmosphere was crazy around the stands occupied by Rosenborg supporters.
"The situation remains the same as we head into the last twenty-five minutes of this exciting final," Kristin heard the commentator yell out loud a few minutes later. "Rosenborg Ballklub is still reigning supreme and sustaining a constant barrage of attacks on Molde's goal. As a result, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have barely gotten opportunities to mount attacks of significance on Rosenborg's goal. What a final! The situation on the pitch is truly unprecedented, considering the history between the two clubs."
Conversion rate (free-kicks) --> percentage rate of scoring when tallied against the total set-pieces taken by a player over a given period. Below are some of my personal views on just the set-piece aspect of the modern game.
-->To become a world-class set-piece taker, one needs to have a high conversion rate. That's why players like Juninho, Beckham, Pirlo, and Messi are deemed as some of the best free-kick takers ever. On the other hand, players like Ronaldo, who lack consistency and have low conversion rates, are usually termed as overrated. The statistics are clear when you look at them.
-->Additionally, a good dead-ball specialist needs to remain composed in every sort of situation on the field. You can have the best technique in the world, but if you can't convert at important moments, like during a final, then your skills are worthless. This is one of the reasons why Becks and Messi are phenomenal players. When you give them a free-kick, they'll perform, as usual, no matter the situation.
