Footballers who are more matured than Neymar and Cavani

With Neymar and Cavani fighting over set pieces, let's just take a look at some top players who could be doing the same at their club but are not.

Chelsea

Hazard, Willian, Morata are the three players who usually take Chelsea penalties, but Hazard is the first choice. With regards to free kicks the position of the ball determines who takes it and that duty is shared among Willian, Fabregas, Hazard, Pedro and David Luis.

Manchester City

Sergio Aguero is the go to man when it comes to spot kicks for the Citizen, but sometimes Yaya Toure is also given the chance and they do it without any confusion. De Bruyne has been taking most of Manchester City's free kicks. Yaya Toure and David Silva are also some of the free kick takers at Man City.

Manchester United

Lukaku and Paul Pogba are he penalty takers for Manchester United, whereas Mata and Lukaku are looked up to when it comes to free kicks.

Arsenal

The Gunners have about four penalty takers at the moment Lacazette, Sanchez Giroud and Carzola whenever he is available. They have Ozil, Sanchez, Cazorla and Theo Walcott as their free kick takers and the position of the ball determines who goes for it, yet Ozil has been the standout player in that regard.

Bayern Munich

Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller and Robben are the penalty experts for the Bavarian giants, while Ribery and Arjen Robben have been taking the free kicks.

Cristiano Ronaldo take penalties for Real Madrid and when it comes to free kicks he does it with Gareth Bale and that is dependent on the position of the ball and these two super stars dont clash on who should take it.

Barcelona

Lionel Messi is your sure bet for penalties at Barelona. The Argentine is also the free kick take, but sometimes he delegate some of his teammates to take penalties and free kicks. Luis Suarez who is also a super star understands that and they never clash. Even when Neymar was around the duo never disagreed on the taking of set pieces, but Messi from time to time allowed the Brazilian to also try his hands on set pieces.
