A June 20, 1976, someone had the audacity to reinvent the penalty. How to score a penalty. It was in a league of business, or at a party with friends. It was in the final of Euro Yugoslavia . Against West Germany Franz Beckenbauer, who won the previous edition and the 1974 World Cup. You have to have them square with something daring. Antonín Panenka lazamiento had them in the decisive after failure of Uli Hoeness. The Czech genius gave the trophy home with a touch from 11 yards. Could have failed and end up losing. No title, no glory, no memory. But he chose to risk and hit. Czechoslovakia won the tournament and entered into the history of the European champions. Panenka adorned his penalty and went into the history of football. Each time a player a maximum penalty sublime as he did, 35 years ago, says he has thrown to Panenka.
Throwing a penalty to an eccentricity Panenka is available to a few geniuses. One can try on the streets without fear of catastrophe ridiculous. Another thing is to dare when you compete at the highest level. Unfortunately, not enough to have the guts. We must also have the skill, sometimes luck, to avoid the worst outcomes. Because they failed may offend even your own fans . As happened to Javier Casquero in Madrid 3 - Getafe 2 of the 2008/2009 season. To cite an example near and celebrated our league.
Like many others, wanted to emulate the legendary Casquero goal Panenka to Iker Casillas. Genius or madness, Mallard tried it and the ball went into the hands of the white goalie . The boldness of Getafe, when the score was 2-2, took very ill to his own liking. Casquero could have put his team ahead and add 3 important points above the relegation zone away. The Talavera received much criticism for weeks. One, Antonín itself that, in an interview to the newspaper AS , called it "the worst penalty Panenka what I've seen in a professional."
The worst do not know. But if you think the best we have seen, probably remember Zidane. One of the most beautiful Panenka last I remember, for aesthetics, for the actors and the stage. It was the 2006 World Cup final: France - Italy. The last game in Zizou's career. The Frenchman could not think of anything to say farewell to football in the most beautiful. With a delicious jelly made evident to Buffon , an institution under the sticks. The wonder of Zinedine was marred by the stupidity of a header that sent him away from football early and by the back door.
Many have followed in the footsteps of Antonin . Among them, the Loco Abreu. Uruguay is a frequent visitor of this technique came to be repeated 2 times in one game , the second came against Fluminense, Botafogo when I joined the. Francesco Totti is another superclass that at some time wanted to emulate the Czechoslovak , and also failed . It is not the only stars like Neymar have committed the same error . But not only TottiAntonín has imitated, was also inspired by another myth of the penalties as was Socrates. The Giallorossi idol has, shame is a workout, a penalty goal heel marks . As was the legendary Brazilian, who is credited with a heel prodigious even for the maximum penalty shot .
Innovation in action as restricted as a penalty speaks volumes about the greatness of its author. Today Antonín Panenka is president of FC Bohemians 1905, Prague. Panenka But more than that. It is more than the style he invented. More concretely that run a penalty. It's an idea: surprise. A search for the new that is embodied in the players of today and tomorrow. Of course, in yesterday's legends the likes of Johan Cruyff. Famous is his penalty-played with Jesper Olsen for Ajax . A resource that tried to imitate two cracks as Robert Pires and Thierry Henry in his time gunner , with a final laugh even his coach .
Special mention should attempt to turn the penalty with Djalminha always great for a football match between indoor veterans. Or the delusion of the Betic Ezequinha Spain U19, who shoots with the same supporting leg to completely confuse the goalkeeper . In short, different ways to embellish something as simple as a penalty. Each in their own way and with different styles. But all the essence Panenka as a flag. That essence stirs us when a crazy challenge the goalkeeper, history, criticism and dare with a twist.
