It was just one of those unpredictable moments of magic PES is famous for.
To be fair, everything was right. Keeper off his line and not correctly placed due to him taking the goal kick. The surprise of the early strike. Drogba's body positioning was spot on. His body is flush to the goal, he is facing perfectly straight which means unless he uses the outside of the boot, this is the only shot he has on. He gets the ball out of his feet with the chest, and in perfect stride meet the ball beautifully on the drop, naturally making the ball rise, but its where he hits it that makes the line stay true. If he had let the ball drop any further then the shot would have stayed low and hard, and the chances are, he would have been a little out of his stride.
If you look closely, he strikes through the ball but with his laces connecting dead centre and right on the sweet spot. It's technically very difficult to do in real life, but when you catch it like that, the ball stays straight and doesnt really bend due to the technique of the placement of the boot, and the position the ball was struck with follow through.
Beckham uses the exact same technique when he pings the long pass, only he strikes the ball at bottom centre, thats how they stay so straight. If your slightly out with your position of connection with the ball, it will slice either left or right depending on which side of centre you connect with the ball. You can look like Becks when you pull it off, or like a tit if you dont, as I know only too well.
I wouldnt even think about shooting from there - but after that one plus the one he scored against Milan irl - bang em Drogs LOL
