Carlo Ancelotti said in September that his punishers were the Spaniard Joselu Mato, the Croatian Luka Modric and the Brazilian Vinícius Junior; but all, including the Brazilianor Rodrygo Goes, They have already failed from eleven meters this season in an aspect of the game that could be decisive.
“It depends on the games but the order is: first Joselu, who has a lot of experience, then Modric who is also good and then Vinicius”, Ancelotti’s phrase after a few days. Rodrygo Balaídos missed a penalty.
But this is not just a mistake. ‘Carletto’ shows his anger because his plans are included Luka Modric like the launcher. He asked for it, but his order was not carried out.
An event that occurred at the beginning of a severe drought for a Rodrygo will go who ended up being erased from taking a maximum penalty against Osasuna after more than 30 shots without a goal. From there, with Ancelotti’s support, as the Brazilian acknowledged, he went on to score nine goals and five assists.
A penalty missed by the first taker appointed by Ancelotti, Joselu. On top of that, Vinícius made another mistake in the preseason against Barcelona.
For this reason, the Italian technician left only the bullet in the chamber. Modric as an expert from eleven meters. However, against Unión Berlin, he also made mistakes and the list of pitchers turned into a list of disappointments.
Four penalties – three in official matches – Real Madrid took and were full of mistakes. Four out of four, despite not being worth points, could wreak havoc in future penalty shootouts that decide playoffs and titles in ‘KO’ tournaments.
A task from the eleven meters dominated by the Frenchman Karim Benzema with 32 goals scored and only 5 missed penalties. 86.49% correct.
However, since he left last summer for Saudi football, the percentage in Real Madrid is 0% and their pitchers, in theory, are more reliable without meeting this condition.
Furthermore, according to data from BeSoccer Pro for EFE, since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2018, a regular kicker during his time as a Real Madrid player, to a team led by Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema, the Real Madrid took 56 penalties and missed 12; of which four are from this season.
