Free kicks are divided into two types. First is indirect free kick, which can be dedicated in long distance from goal or hand play. Secondary, direct free kick could be useful in scoring goals. Take note that rival can pick a few players to make a wall.

Look at screen above. It's typical direct free kick camera position. To kick the ball use [D] key. With combination [Q] + [D] you can kick the ball with more power on surface. [S] key respond for pass and [A] for slight, high pass. [E] key is useful when you need to change the kick taker. Simple shot is easy to reflect by keeper, so use rotation on the ball. Direction keys are responsible for this. Use [E] key to choose quick free kick.

Although, you can call second player. Press [C] (hold [C] and use directions keys to change player position).

Additionally, player can roll the ball to free kick taker. Use [C] + [S]. If you want to pass with high ball, instead of [S] press [A].

...or shoot on goal - [C] + [D].

Now, take a look on corners. Press [A] or [D] to send the ball to the rival box. Use arrows to set the desired direction. However, you can call for a partner to play the ball quickly - press [C].

Penalties are the easiest way to score a goal. Press [D] and direction key to perform penalty kick. If you hold an arrow for too long, the ball will miss the goal.

If you're playing as a goalkeeper, use arrows to dash. Hold [Shift] + up, to wale your arms. [Shift] + down is knee bend. Finally, [Shift] + left/right is Dudek-dance.
