Same as Messi becoming the first to score in every round at the World Cup - yes, technically, but it’s slightly different when the % of them that are penalties is 60%+. Not to criticise either obviously, they are world class and have just contested an incredible final between them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow1988 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Meh, the France players were singing about Messi being pocketed by Kante in the last World Cup either after winning the thing or knocking them out. Maybe even both. The Argentina players are doing the same now with Mbappé. I don’t see the big deal.

I had planned to hit my pen across the ball, to my right (and Lloris' left). But Emiliano 'Dibu' Martinez advised me to hit it down the middle, as they had just missed a pen and thus Lloris was likely to dive to a side" Elite level mindset from Emi. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine it's because most players hit their penalties to the left or right. So, after missing one Lloris would dive to either left or right hoping he's picked the right side so having a higher chance of saving it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its because diving to a side is the more "traditional" option and staying in the middle is the more "experimental" option. In the keeper's head, he just saw his team miss a shot so the he feels the pressure to save this shot to make it even. So he defaults to the traditional option. This sounds like a stretch I know, but there must be some sense to it. Although if it is true, I'm surprised its not more well known. Not hard for at least one club out there to get some data analyst to just analyze penalties for patterns like this. Surely something like this would've come up.

Harkanon Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Psychologically, maybe the keeper will feel like he has to be more assertive with the next penalty and hence move. There's a great book that delves into all of this - 'Twelve Yards' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to forget Mbappe only 23. Anyway who cares. Get your ass home Emi! This 23 year old 'kid' was a key player in winning the World Cup four years ago, has almost scored more World Cup goals than anyone else ever, and is paid the thick end of a million quid a week, he can take a small amount of public criticism for something he said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club would have offered him the time off I'm sure. If true then it really is Emi wanting to be back, wanting to help the cause. And naturally to be back home with his family and share this with his mates he sees every day at BMH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
