He used to be good at them...

He used to be good at them...

Yeah used but nowadays they are weak without precision.

its odd...isnt deadballs something you only get better and better at? i.e even until the end Ronaldinho was a reliable PK and FK taker

we know he's not short on confidence..

a lack of concentration perhaps

Ibra shows you can become also worse....look also at Ronaldos free kicks which arent as good as in his old manu/Real days

 

[BarcaOG]

yeah, that's fair. FK's are much trickier than PKs, though. the PK should be a 7/10 in favour of the player, always...

Wait, Zlatan recieved a red, does that not carry over to Serie A?

You think lack of public has something to do with it?

 

[BarcaOG]

On the face of it I think the public/no public argument is spurious and unconvincing, but a lot of players (including at different points Messi and CR) have complained about it that there might be something to it. For players who thrive on adulation and even hate (CR, Zlatan) it might actually make a difference....but even if it does, it can't be so decisive.

Question is, is taking a penalty easier or more difficult under pressure. Maybe some players get more into the zone under pressure and take the penalty with more focus. For Barca at least have seen some penalties taken with little power behind the ball.

Having the crowd certainly helps the home team ..

I saw stats today ..

English Premier League 20/21 season so far

72 HOME wins
75 AWAY wins

It?s supposedly the first time there?s been more away wins than home wins since 1888 or something ..

 

[Morten]

Good goal.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Nice goal from Ibra

 

[Latschenkiefer]

The commentator said it's his 500th club goal.
