I don't think you can take good free kicks without practising. Certain skills can be innate e.g. dribbling.
What surprises me is that ST has only scored once from a free-kick this season.

In 1974 he played alongside Schwarzenbeck in central defence. The latter was a stopper. Lacked mobility but was there as a rampart and to win balls in the air.

Everything's subjective but one of the best liberos. Rudi Krol and Franco Baresi were, IMHO, his main competitors as a libero who liked to attack.

He's so used to wanting to get his team moving that he gets frustrated and is liable to choose a bad option. Last season was easy for him from that point of view. I honestly think he'd fit in with a better PL team than us where his players had more time on the ball.
