L1 when taking free kicks in PES 2019 PS4

Does holding L1 when taking a free kick actually do anything or have I just been lucky it has gone in every time I've tried it?

That sounds dubious. Could be a script. Play more games and try crosses with and without L1 pressed. L1 in much older PES edition had varied impact on crosses and free kicks. In some editions it made crosses too predictable and easy for COM defenders to clear and in other games it did help more.

I meant freekicks where I press the kick button not the cross button.
