Penalty kicks and the details, both technical and mental, that surround them gained space in Tite's training at Flamengo. The focus is not restricted to the penalty takers, but also to the goalkeepers and the positioning of the other players on the rebound.
With the Carioca knockout stage approaching, Tite's technical committee decided to improve some details in the team's training sessions. penalty shootout. The recent history of penalties during games draws attention: Pedro and Gabigol missed penalties in this Carioca.
But the two attackers remain official penalty takers, depending on who is on the field at the time. In training, there was an adjustment in the positioning of players around the area, the so-called rebounders.
Flamengo started to have two players, one on each side of the area. Against Vasco and Volta Redonda, Bruno Henrique ended up staying there, but it was by intuition and not by guidance. Against Boavista, Everton Cebolinha and Luiz Araújo — then, after the orientation — positioned themselves more actively waiting for the rebound. The same goes for the people at the edge of the area.
With goalkeepers, the headache is relatively less, especially given the history of penalty taking that Rossi brought from Argentina.
While Gabigol missed a penalty against Vasco, Pedro wasted a penalty against Boavista. A common factor in the missed shots was the poor hitting of the two attackers. And then, there's no point in positioning yourself for the rebound. In the case of number 9, who has been a starter, he even lost another one, against Volta Redonda, but the referee ordered him to return. When the hit was repeated, he hit the net.
