Watch: Real Betis Legend fires a worldie during training

The Nigerian legend spent many seasons with Real Betis in Spain, scoring 38 goals in 130 games after first establishing himself at Ajax in the Netherlands

Former Ajax star, Finidi George, was spotted hitting a magnificent goal during an Enyimba FC practice.

The 1995 UEFA Champions League winner is regarded as one of the finest forwards Nigeria has ever produced.

The Real Betis Legend is a physically powerful and tall player famous for his deceivingly quick speed, precise crosses, and effective dribbles while on the pitch.

At a training session, the now-51-year-old, known for his precise free kicks, was spotted burying a long shot beyond the goalie from outside the box.

Watch the video here:

Finidi, who was appointed the manager of Enyimba, the most successful football team in Nigeria, was not only known for his technical capabilities but also for his exceptional football intelligence and dribbling prowess.

He participated in two World Cups and was a key player for Nigeria in the 90s. He played for Nigeria his whole football career while wearing the easily recognisable number 7 shirt.

Although the Elephants had a difficult season during the 2021–22 Nigeria Professional Football League season, he is guiding his team back to winning ways as they are sitting second in the standings behind league leaders Bendel Insurance.
