“If I score a penalty, people will say I’m a crack”

Date:

Did you think of the Elche penalty shooting like this or did you improvise?

I have it in mind. I took the ball, looked at the goal and knew I wanted to shoot it like that. This is a throwaway option like any other.

Did you regret seeing the picture later?

No, I don’t regret it, of course. Obviously, it’s not the greatest joy in the world to miss a penalty, which means your team has to suffer until the end. These are the decisions that need to be made; I took it at that time. It’s part of football. This time I got a frog. If I put it on, people would say I’m a crack. But that’s football, a lot of times it’s a result. Learn from mistakes and move on.

Will he shoot a penalty like that again?

Yes why not? Even my mother had a heart attack. I don’t rule it out, not at all. This is as effective a method as any to shoot a penalty. Many ‘Panenkas’ were involved. The goalkeeper decided to stay in the middle that day and on a day we were definitely going to shoot in the middle, he would go to the side and make a fool of himself.
