You’ve practiced how many penalties this week He should maybe have concentrated on the keeper trying to save them. He was in the corner of the goal 2 steps before the taker even hit the penalty. Woeful. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaspode Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 ITV commentator getting right on my nerves - just before kick-off they were talking about Ronaldo being dropped and then he says “Anyway let’s not talk anymore about him” - and then proceeds to talk more about Ronaldo for the entire half…..

Carl Sagan Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 7 hours ago, therealhantsram said: It's trend over the last few years. The top keepers had become so good at reading the subtle changes in striker body language that they were saving too many penalties. The idea with the stutter run is to force the keeper to move first so you can hit your shot taking that into account. Shots taken in this way tend to have less power, but that doesn't matter if the keeper goes the other way. Lewandowski has been one of the architects of this approach. His penalty record using it is astounding. But at this World Cup keepers have been wise to his approach. I think everyone seems to be underestimating just how fast this new ball travels through the air. So many shots are already past the keeper before he's had chance to react. And because of that, I think blasting the penalty is likely a very good option to choose. therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
