What's amazing is how he makes that swerve from that angle of run up. He's running straight to the goal. Most of us can make a ball swerve outside the goal and back in, but would probably be coming at a 45 degree angle. https://twitter.com/StefansSoccer/status/1247165191059537920
Have a look at his balance and standing foot, as well as how he makes contact with the ball.
Switching it round for a right footer, so I can conceptualise it better, RC is approaching direct to the ball and goal, whereas I would be approaching from the blue line instead. It gets the same effect, but RC's technique has the benefit of adding a lot of disguise too.
Also couldn't generate that same power. Disguise, power, accuracy.
This makes me ask questions such as are we too concerned with technique correction? This is a strange and difficult technique, but it's deadly. Many would be tempted to correct this in kids.

And look at the shape of his follow through. Fairly upright, with the left leg twisting across his body.
Whereas if I'm doing it, the strike and follow through would resemble something like this.
@gingeriffic_knh Would you be able to shed some light on this?
