Spain boss Luis Enrique humiliated by his own ‘homework’ task as Morocco dominate shootout | Football | Sport
“If you wait until getting here to practice penalties… [it won’t be enough]. It’s a moment of maximum tension, a time to show your nerve and that you can shoot the penalty in the way you have decided, if you have trained it a thousand times. It says a lot about each player.
“It’s trainable, manageable, how you manage the tension. It’s increasingly less luck – the goalkeepers have more influence. We have a very good goalkeeper, any of the three can do very well in this situation. Every time we finish training, I see a lot of players taking penalties.”
Although Spain’s penalties left plenty to be desired, Moroccan goalkeeper Bono was superb throughout the game and Achraf Hakimi decided the shootout in spectacular fashion, chipping a panenka past the despairing Unai Simon.
