How to unlock the Bend it like a pro achievement in FIFA 09 - Definitive Guide

the best way to do this is to line up the ball with the pole that is away from the goalie (the one behind the wall) hold RB and let the power bar reach at least half way up (depends on distance).
it is pretty hard, you get them in once in a while.
please let me know if i wasn't specific enough because i dont feel like i was.

I found it worked eaiser to aim for the Post nearer the keeper away from the wall hold RB and power up to about 1/4 of the way, depending on distance from goal top corner results and time to celebrate.

In addition to the other solutions,to make this sooooo much easier, quickly create a 5ft goalie with bad stats, and save him, then go into team management and sign him to a rubbish team. (He will be saved as a free agent). Put him in the starting line-up then play a 2 player vs game with a 5 star team against your keepers team. (You can play both teams yourself). Get yourself a free kick on the edge of the area, then hold lb and shoot with less than half power into the top corner near the keeper. I don't know how many attempts I must have had at this by naturally playing the game down the years, I mean, I have the 50 hr chieve so I have played the game a fair bit, and am a fairly decent Fifa player, but I got this on my very first try against my created keeper ;)

An easy way of doing this achievement is to grab a second controller or have your friend making a fault on you near the penalty area, making it so you don't need to rely on NPCs to make the fault.

Then use the videos posted in the other solutions if you still need help scoring the goal.

there is a way to make things even easier, i did a two controller match brazil vs accrington.

i choose ronaldinho as my free kick taker but first i altered his stats to max free kick accuracy, finishing, curve, shot power, long shots, balance and vision.

then i made a defender all stats at 2 and put him on the other team and made him the goalie, it took me about ten attempts before i scored and got the achievement.

I found this very helpful video on youtube. It teaches you a few different methods xo you can try and find out which one suits you best. I watched this video then played around a bit in the Areana taking free kicks and eventually got quite good at them. Happy Hunting!

This can be a hard trophy depending on how good you are at free kicks and whether you know the best methods. If you are close to the edge of the box the best method would be to press L1 and keep hold of circle until 1/2 of the power bar is full. This will put plenty of power on the shot so it should fly straight into the top corner.

Here is a video on how to score a free kick (credit to FifaSkills for this):

This achievement can be quite challenging, even with a boosting partner or 2nd controller. The way I managed to get it was too aim for the top corner nearest to the keeper (so you dont have to worry about putting the ball over the wall). When shooting, hold , and fill your power bar about 1/4 of the way up. If it doesn't work first time, just keep trying, it'll come eventually. You can also unlock the "In Off" achievement by doing this, just as I did.

You are given a freekick when the opposing teams fouls you anywhere on the pitch apart from the penalty area.
