If Neymar doesn't take a penalty like this during the World Cup we'll be gutted

Tekkers.

SURE IT WAS only a training session but Barcelona star Neymar showed off a rather innovative penalty taking technique while practising spot kicks with the Brazil squad ahead of the World Cup.

The striker shapes as if he’s about to strike the ball with his right foot but, somehow, flicks it with his left to completely wrong foot the goalkeeper.

Nice.
