Rodrigo Palacio Scores Deft ‘Overhead Flick’ Volley vs Lazio, But Did He Mean It? (Video)
By Chris Wright
On the day of his 30th birthday, Genoa’s Rodrigo Palacio (he of ‘abysmal rat-tail/Jedi bog chain’ horror hair fame) scored against Lazio on Sunday with an absurdly deft, over-the-shoulder flick at the near post that lobbed over the flapping Federico Marchetti and in at the far post.
Question is, did he mean it? Have a butcher’s and see what you think…
Did he mean it? Not in a month of Sundays, the jammy so and so! For our money, you can definitely file this one away under ‘speculative near-post flick-on goes incredibly well for Señor Palacio’!
For the record, Genoa won 3-2.

He scored a ridiculous 30 yard volley two weeks ago against Napoli, so I wouldn’t doubt it if he meant to.
I remember jimping over this when it was on ESPN – the flick itself was intentional, without doubt – however – the goal that resulted from it; not at all.
@Luke: ‘Jimping’? Do I even want to know what that is?
I’m with Luke; he definitely tried to flick it on for someone else, not to score, but well on him.
That volley against Napoli was amazing!
I was present at their training ground when they were doing their corner drills. This worked just as they drew it up
well if he doesnt play in the EPL there’s no way he meant it
Tell me the truth, or I’ll cut off your rat tail.
THEN you’d get your answer.
sick cunt!!
