Hi In order to kick a football accurately and with power, your body has to be positioned over it in just the right way. If you are too far back from it, or too far forward over it then your kick will probably go wrong In your example, the United forward reaches the ball, but he doesn't get his body over it sufficiently to deliver a good kick Hope this helps, Dave
