This comment left under the article, which is supposedly bullshit, says it all: "Justin • 16 hours ago
I have played goalkeeper for almost 30 years, and this article makes no sense. We are not randomly guessing which way the kicker is going. For important matches, you're going to study the other team's kickers penalty history. Most players have a direction they feel more confident kicking to. You pick that direction if the info is available. If not, I always found that even if a kicker was trying to convince me of one direction, his eyes would always give away the true direction right before the kick. Most kickers need to do a visual check of their intended direction right before striking. I'll tell you what never in 30 years influenced my decision: the direction of the previous kicker." |
