“Penalty shootout is not luck…”

Osasuna went yesterday to the next qualifying round of Copa del Rey after forcing overtime and eliminating the Legs in a dramatic penalty shootout where they won 2-4 thanks to the success of all their shooters and the saves of Sergio Herrera, the ‘rojillo’ goalkeeper.

It is often said that the fatal batch of maximum penalties was lucky. However, Osasuna are in charge of deciding that this is not the case. And how did he do it? Posting a graphic image on twitter where it will be crystal clear that everything has been carefully studied.

In the picture you can see the usual plastic water bottle goalkeepers carry with a paper cheat sheet and the names of all the Betis pitchers along with the side they usually shoot. In the tweet, Osasuna wrote: “The penalty shootout is not a matter of luck. It is training and learning. All our goalkeepers and their coach, Richard Sanzol, are excellent.”
