Martinez Hails Bodde’s Brazilian Finish

Bodde struck from all of 45 yards for the Swans opening goal on 19 minutes last night, unleashing a shot that flew into the back of the net.

And whilst Bodde says that he practices that in training, Martinez was – at the end of the match – enthusing over the talent that he managed to keep at the club during the course of the summer.

Speaking after the match Martinez told the Western Mail โ€œThat was some goal โ€“ and Iโ€™m sure any supporter here to see it will remember it for a very long time.

โ€œBut if anyone can do that type of thing on any given week then itโ€™s Ferrie. Heโ€™s got the talent to try anything and to see that one go in gives you a great feeling.

โ€œIโ€™ve not seen many players strike a ball as well as he does, whether itโ€™s with his right foot or his left, thatโ€™s the kind of talent we are talking about.

โ€œAnd although itโ€™s ridiculous to make comparisons in football, in terms of technique itโ€™s very similar to the way the Brazillian Juninho at Lyon hits the ball. The technique he has makes it so tough for the goalkeeper to read the flight of the ball โ€“ but Ferrieโ€™s was certainly as good as anything Iโ€™ve seen from him.

โ€œIt was an all-round performance from Ferrie that was pleasing โ€“ he knew he would be suspended for Saturday and he wanted to grab these 90 minutes and he did that. We all know what type of player he is and when he is enjoying his football like he did here then it can be very special to see.โ€
