Taking penalties (1 Viewer)

[Stu]

Right now I'd tell yuall yes, but if I was being watched by thousands and thousands of people under such pressure I'd probably freeze. I don't have the nerves of steel when it comes to things such as these, and to besides, Del Piero doesn't score an awful lot as it is, he needs to take the penos for his sake.

How about a behind the leg Panenka?

You start your run up like your gong to shoot with your left foot, swing, miss the ball and pland your left leg to the right of the ball, and chip the ball with your right foot behind your left one... Get what I'm talking about? That would be

When I was young, or should I say younger, I used to take all of the penalties that came my way. At school and club level, it didn't matter to me, but I think that's because I had no fear then. Now that I'm old, I mean older, I guess I feel the pressure more. From time to time something just takes over me and I go with the flow and take all the set-pieces, but of late I haven't been my confident self and rather than thinking when I score this we'll win, I think what if I miss?

Really and truly I should take the penalties because my teammates hardly blame me, but it's the crowd that gets to me. I know that I shouldn't really care about what they think because for the most part they can't do any better, but I do.

When I was still in primary school I scored the winning penalty in a shootout and scored the equaliser from the spot in a quarter final. I also scored two in one game for my club team when I was younger, but that isn't me anymore.

I dont mind taking free kicks because it's alot harder to score from them so I don't feel the pressure (in a club match just the other day I scored a free kick and hit the crossbar with another in the same game).

Yeah, Cristiano Ronaldo crosses the ball like that sometimes

i wouldn't mind taking penalties,but i'd never ask to.if you're designated to take them in a way you're not that at fault if you miss,at least not as much as if you asked to take it.

i'm definitely a FK man though.

I would take it, but if my team had DP in it, I'll leave it to him....

 

[baggio]

I'd take it. Considering Dp probably would've missed one the last time.

 

[Rushy]

I could have taken it, but I would have thought the team's best...
And let del-piero take it...(100%)

 

[3pac]

id ask dp for his autograph an take a picture with him and let him distract the keeper by being there then softly pass it in

 

[kurvengeflüster]

I would give DP the chance to boost his scorer value but when I've to take it then an unspectacular shot (left, bottom and hitting the post but finding his way into the goal)

I always place it bottom left. That is when the keeper doesn't wait. And since I take all the penalties for my team and have only missed once in 20 kicks or so, I would definitely take it. I'd just tell Del Piero to take a look at the master.

ill take it every time....glory seeker u see ......

i like the responsibility :fero:

 

[Seven]

yeah..I'm an egotripper as well. But I remember last time my teammates begged me to take it, because someone else wanted to.

i tend to fin that in england,everyone wants to take the penalty if their winning or not under pressure but once pressure is pumped up i often find teammate shying away.....i jus think sod it, im gonna score, so ill take it

 

[Seven]

I'm always thinking: I'm going to score!!! Oh my god I'm going to score!!! Yes!!!!!

I don't like to play against English. A couple of months ago we played an English team. The leftback was kicking me down all the time and then I scored, so I celebrating by saying "**** you" in his face, which costed me yellow. And then my coach even took me off for safety reasons. Quite ridicolous.

 

[#10]

depends on where u go and the coachm but most teams in england have their thugs.

One of my friends had this happen to him a few weeks back: He was playing against some team and the other team won a penalty. The guy who took it put it straight down the middle, and his keeper dived to one side. A bit later on, they won another penalty, and my friend started taunting the other team's forward, saying to his keeper "This guy sucks, he's gonna go straight down the middle again!". The penalty taker turns around, says "watch this", and blasts it into the top left corner :LOL:

 

[Giuseppe#10]

id take it

If I had a choice- I'd tell the coach: I will never shoot the penalties.
