User:Sean Ago/Penaltier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Penaltier is a footballer very able to score on penalty kicks.

Term

[edit]

Term comes from mass media language, not existing a real list of players for penalties scored (number or percentage). For instance, Javier Zanetti (former Internazionale and Argentina captain) had scored the only penalty (a shoot-out) of his career, having - therefore - a percentage of 100 %.[1] An other example is about Mario Balotelli who, until 22 September 2013, had himself a full percentage having scored all 21 penalties tried.[2]

Penalties for and against

[edit]
  • Juventus is the club with most penalties for, 506 (368 of which scored, 73 out of 100 in percentage).[5][7] Lazio is, instead, the side with highest number of penalties against: 363, 258 of which scored (71 out of 100 in percentage).[8]
  • Only clubs to have score all penalties for are Frosinone (3 shoots), Ternana (5) and Treviso (1).[5] Pistoiese has - instead - the record of penalty goals against, 7.[5] They also have failed only penalty for: these numbers are related to 1980–81 season, the only in A for arancioni.[5]
  • Best difference (between numbers) owns - again - to Juventus, with 230 penalties for more than against.[9] Worst deficit is of Palermo, −59.[9]

Matches

[edit]
  • Matches of Serie A with most penalties conceded are Atalanta-Livorno (6 January 1949) and Internazionale-Genoa (1 April 2012), 4 in each.[5] In first match (ended 4–2) teams scored one penalty for each[5] while the other (5–3 final) saw every penalty being realized.[5][10][11]
  • Highest number of penalties awarded in a matchday has been recorded twice, in 1950–51 (matchday 13) and 2013–14 seasons (matchday 8), with 9 goals in both cases.[5][12]

Perfect penalty

[edit]

Searches would have shown the formule of perfect penalty, unstoppable for goalkeepers.[18] Procedure would be as follows[18]:

  • Speed of shoot has to be at least 105 km/h;
  • Take a run-up of 5-6 steps, starting to 16.50 metres toward the ball;
  • Hit the ball in a corner of 20-30°;
  • Aim to half-meter under postbar and half-meter toward the inner of goal.

Left-foot players would be have a slight advantage of score, 4 %.[18][19]
