Jure Balkovec, the Slovenian international currently playing for Turkish club Alanyaspor, has been making headlines with his exceptional free-kick skills.

Balkovec, who is eyeing a spot in Slovenia's squad for the upcoming European Championship in Germany, has honed his left foot to become a significant threat from set pieces.   

In a recent match against Adana Demirspor, Balkovec demonstrated his prowess by scoring a stunning free-kick in the 20th minute, contributing to a 3-3 draw. This goal marks his second in the league this season, adding to another he scored in a cup competition.

His development into a free-kick specialist is a testament to his dedication and skill refinement. With his contract entering its final six months, which includes an option for a one-year extension, Balkovec's future looks promising as he continues to impress with his lethal left foot.
