Of the hierarchies of penalty takers enunciated by Gian Piero Gasperini, it is difficult to say how much Mario Pasalic, the Nerazzurri’s first to miss a shot from the penalty spot on the second day with Torino, might belong. Procured by Under-23 Federico Cassa, also recently seen on the bench in the Champions League with Bruges of all places, it was hurled by the Croatian into the reach of Vanja Milinkovic-Savic’s long arms. Who in turn, on his return to Bergamo, caught the lofty one from Mateo Retegui, the second in line according to the Atalanta coach.
I rigoristi? No, il problema sono i rigori in sé
Evidently at the “Grande Torino” there was only the wild card Vatreno left to be able to shoot, but it is not that Chapita, second on the list behind Charles De Ketelaere who has to his credit only the temporary 1-1 at the opposite cross in the 2-3 home draw with Real Madrid, has shown who knows what aim. Two out of four, that is okay with Lecce in the double in the league opener and then the other in the hat trick with Genoa, but weighing heavily in the economy of the cup run is the interception of Arsenal’s David Raya in the nil-nil that cost the Top Eight in the League Phase.
Lookman: stessa percentuale di Retegui
Ademola Lookman made a mistake with Brugge by shooting too poorly at an angle to avoid Mignolet’s octopus, but it is also true that the onus was on him to shoot the almost pointless one at 97′ with Como for a home 2-3 that still hurts. One out of two, which is worth 50 percent as much as the Atalanta bomber’s two out of four. Of shots from 11 meters in the season he made half of them, throwing away at least 5 points between Serie A and Champions League. And Gasp himself, on the eve of the retour match with the Flemish, said verbatim “the emotional moment of the person who shoots them also counts.” An issue that concerns the Nigerian only in passing….
