Well it's in that's all that matters EDIT, he shot the rebound almost straight at the keeper as well. lmao. Goalie touched it too.
Not a fan of those calls. If it doesn't hit his hand, it hits his face. Appreciate though that he did kinda move the ball away when he turned.
Modric shouldn’t be taking it… Mbappe is in contention for a major individual award. That wouldn’t be fair.
I wonder what Brahim’s role will be under Xabi? Talented and has had some moments but also does some dumb stuff when he should just turn and shoot. Curious one.
Maybe a bit of a hot take. Mbappe’s shooting technique makes him an unreliable penalty taker. He shouldn’t be the first choice. he’s rarely hit a penalty in our shirt which was confident and assured. He opens his shooting leg too much when he shoots. When you see the rebound you can see again how the ball hits way too close towards the back of his foot rather than in the middle
I dont think any of our penalty kick takers have good technique. Prefer players that smash the ball with force. Valverde and Endrick would make good takers I think
