Most people around the world are rooting for their favorite football teams, watching all their games, and often even attending football matches in person at the stadium! Football has become entrenched in our life as a mobile, interesting and, on the other hand, a gamble. For 90 minutes of the game there are many interesting and fun moments, one of them - a penalty.
And for the game they can appoint a lot of referers, depending on how hard the players play. With every gross violation in the free zone of the gate of the offender, a penalty is assigned to the goal by the referee. And almost always the blow ends with a goal. Indeed, how can you miss the wide gate frame from 11 meters? If he did not miss, the goalkeeper, who rarely guesses the direction of the ball and jumps in his direction, will hinder him.
The best goalkeeper for the last ten years recognized Gianluigi Buffon, the percentage of the penalty shootouts he has significantly higher than the rest. In the 2010 World Cup goalkeeper Iker Casillas stood out, he broke the record set 60 years ago by Antonio Ramalles, leaving the gate not "punctured" the total duration of the games in 315 minutes. Do not talk about goalkeepers who missed a lot of balls, because there are so many, and to get the skills of an excellent goalkeeper one must either be born to them, or, gaining experience, they become.

And not all footballers who are beating penalties are scored. And the reasons for this are two: I missed the goal or the goalkeeper caught the ball. Of course, to miss the gate is very shameful for a football player, because the whole stadium looks at him like a miminum, but here a big gate, 11 meters ... and past. There have been cases, as for example, the Argentina national football team's Martin Palermo, when the football player could not score a single granted case from the penalty spot for the whole game! Martin Palermo could not score a penalty 3 times in a row, which would otherwise help Argentina finish the game with a draw. A Russian football player Dmitry Kirichenko noted on the other hand. In September 2009, his personal record was fixed: 21 penalty shootings in a row in 9 years!
In general, a penalty is still more likely to be successful for a battering player. But there is a chance that this ball will fly past the gate or be caught by the defending goalkeeper.
