I always thought it was funny how professional players shy away from taking penalties. It's understandable that they don't want to let the team down but it's one thing being sensible and another to be "scared" of it. Obviously I have no experience at professional level but I always thought that I'd gladly take every penalty I ever could. I mean it's fun, isn't it?
It's not like they can blame you for missing, that just means the coach will choose someone else next time.
So the question is would you be willing to take a decisive penalty? You are playing for Juventus, in the Coppa Italia final vs Inter. The score is 1-1, Tudor was alone with Toldo in an attempt to score as he received a kung fu kick in the back by Materazzi. Meanwhile Cordoba was on his way to tackle Tudor before he could score, but he slipped and accidentally knocked Materazzi's teeth out with his elbow. Tudor got up and brushed himself off, Materazzi is in pain and Cordoba is tying his shoelaces. Collina points to the spot. This is your big moment, are you up for it? Or does the honor pass to Bachini?
