Best way to take a penalty ?

[DualityNSNO]

Here's the original - Ajax doing it in 82.

Barca also did it a few years ago with Messi and Suarez I believe.

Powered high into either corner of the net and most goalkeepers quite simply won't stand a chance.

Before you take it put on a RS kit... that way if you miss the ref is guaranteed to let you retake it.... it’s the law

Just watch Milner whack it passed Pickford, in the 7th minute of injury time at Analfield in December.

Low and hard right into the corner. Controlled power. Very very very hard to ssve

My son is a goalkeeper and has played at a good level. He has been involved in nine penalty shoot outs and never lost. He always said that if you can get the penalty taken to make eye contact you can generally work out which way they will go. That and the way the taker shapes his body on the run up.
Recently I was watching him play in a GAA match, his team were a point up with only seconds to go when the opposition were awarded a penalty which he saved. Talking afterwards he said he knew he would save it because of the pressure the taker was under to score.
When I played I always volunteered to take the first penalty, I took the first in a cup final. When everyone was standing about looking at the ground I spoke up and said give me the ball, I'll go first. Luckily I scored and we won, In his speech after the match the manager waxed lyrical about me leading the way by example. I later explained my logic, I was depending on someone else missing if I missed, if you miss 4 or 5 then you are more to blame. I'd rather miss the first than the last.

They say the worst taker should go first, and the best last. I imagine you would still want that to put the five five best first, in order of ineptness for margin of safety.

Surely low to either side is the hardest to save, as goalies tend to jump higher? It is also far safer than aiming high

Smash it in the side netting and it doesn’t matter what the keeper does

This.
