Twice
Of course. Your set up at a free kick strengthens one angle at the expense of another. In every instance you are protecting the percentages and leaving the toughest route to goal open, to be protected by the keeper.

The first free kick found a way around the wall. The second took on the open route. Just Rice showing us he can do both

After all this, don't be surprised if he never scores from a free kick ever again
