There is more than a 50 percent chance that the winners of the World Cup in South Africa, which kicks off on June 11, will have to survive a penalty shootout en route. Some of the world’s top sportsmen will inevitably buckle under the pressure, consigning millions of fans to despair and a lifetime of muttering “what if…?” Derided as a lottery by critics, the penalty shootout is unsurpassed as the ultimate test of nerve to decide tied games. Despite its flaws, it makes compulsive viewing. The split-second moment can make a player a hero, or forever scar an otherwise unblemished career. “It affected me for years,” said Roberto Baggio, the Italian forward who was one of the best players of the 1994 tournament until he missed in a shootout defeat to Brazil in the final. “It was the worst moment of my career. I still dream about it. If I could erase a moment it would be that one.” England’s Stuart Pearce shared that sentiment after missing in a 1990 semi-final defeat to Germany. “My world collapsed. The walk back to the centre circle was a nightmare as the first rush of tears pricked my eyes,” Pearce said years later. Four of the last five winners of the world’s biggest sports event have had to come through a shootout test of nerve during one of their four knockout games, including Italy and Brazil in the final games of 2006 and 1994. Since penalties were introduced in 1982, to decide matches that remained drawn after extra time, there have been 20 shootouts in seven tournaments. Five players from each side take a kick and if the scores are level a “sudden-death” process starts. Fifty-six, or 30 percent, of the 186 spot kicks have been missed. FIRST MISS Germany have proved most clinical, winning all four shootouts they have been involved in. German defender Uli Stielike was the first man to miss in a shootout in Spain 28 years ago but his team still won the semi-final. Not one of his countrymen has missed since, giving German players a 94 percent success rate. In contrast, England have lost all three of their World Cup shootouts, missing half of the 14 kicks they have taken. The Swiss, Mexicans, Romanians and Dutchmen have yet to win a shootout, while this year’s favourites, Spain, may need to improve their record of one win from three. “It may not be wholly representative of the game but it’s a test of skill under pressure and some countries have proved good at it,” said Matt Pain, part of Loughborough University’s football psychology research unit in England. “It’s clearly not a lottery because the statistics show how many Germany have scored and how many England and the Netherlands score.” Coaches going to South Africa will spend much time on research, trying to improve their chances, backed up by sports science and psychology experts who have spent hundreds of hours studying the art. Sixty percent of shootouts are won by the team going first, so the captain who wins the coin toss can grab a clear advantage before a ball is kicked. >From there, it gets more technical, but experts say the key is controlling the >pressure. “Penalty shootouts are really a psychological game,” said Geir Jordet, associate professor at the Norwegian School of Sport Science in Oslo who has studied shootouts extensively. “It’s not so much about technique or skill, it’s about players choking. Shootouts are not decided by great shots or spectacular penalties. They are decided by the one, two or three players who fail because the pressure gets to them.” FASTER ENGLISH Jordet’s research has highlighted several reasons why some players and countries fail. English, Spanish, Italian and Dutch players, for example, rank high in terms of “star” status, having enjoyed club success and great popularity at home, which piles on more pressure. His research has shown English players take kicks quicker than players from any other country, reflecting their desire to get them over as soon as possible. Germany’s clinical approach — the team are said to have a database of more than 10,000 penalties and goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was seen studying a crib sheet tucked into his sock during a quarter-final shootout four years ago — is being copied by others anxious to know which way opposition goalkeepers tend to dive and which way players prefer to aim. In the run-up to this year’s tournament, all the top teams will practise their technique from the penalty spot. “You can’t replicate the exact emotions you’re going to have but, as Tiger Woods does with putting, you can practise a skill to give you more chance when the pressure is on,” said Loughborough University’s Pain. The English, Swiss, Dutch and Mexicans can at least hope that if tested this time they can reverse their fortunes. Italy did so in style four years ago — beating France in the final after losing their three previous shootouts.

Tendangan Firman kesebelah kiri gawang Malaysia yang dijaga oleh Kiper Muda Malaysia yang tampil gemilang pada laga tersebut , Khairul Fahmi Che Mat berhasil dibaca dan diantispasi nya.Berbicara tendangan sekitar 12 meter dari gawang ini yang dilakukan saat-saat atau sebuah turnamen sekelas final dalam sepakbola pemain yang mengeksekusi harus siap mental dan menghadapi tekanan, ibaratnya disamping “head to head “ dengan kipper seorang penendang harus melawan dirinya juga. Tidak ada yang salah dengan Firman mengeksekusi penalty, begitu juga dengan penjaga gawang ketika dia bergerak ke sisi sebelah kiri maka dugaannya sangat tepat seperti yang dikatakan Che Mat pada wartawan di bandara saat berangkat menuju Kuala Lumpur "Saya memang sudah menyangka Firman Utina akan melakukan tendangan ke arah kiri. Ini karena pelatih Rajagopal sejak semula sudah memberitahu saya bahwa Firman senang melakukan tendangan ke arah itu," ujar Fahmi Che Mat. Sebaliknya seandainya Che Mat menduga sebelah kanan maka tentu akan lain hasilnya, tendangan Firman walau sedikit lemah tapi telah mengarah ke pojok tiang jauh gawang. Jangankan pemain sekelas Firman yang gagal mengeksekusi penalty, pemain-pemain besar dunia sebut saja Maradona, Michael Platini dan Zico pernah gagal mengeksekusi penalty diturnamen Piala Dunia. Disuatu sisi memang seorang eksekutor penalty harus bisa melakukan beragam variasi dalam mengambil tendangan penalty, tujuannya agar kipper lawan kewalahan untuk membaca kebiasaan-kebiasaan seorang pemain dalam mengeksekusi penalty kemana arah yang sering dilepaskannya tendangan tersebut. Salah satu contoh legenda hidup sepakbola Perancis, Zinadine Zidane di perhelatan Piala Dunia 2006 di Jerman, ketika mendapat tendangan penalty di babak 8 Besar berhadapan dengan Portugal, Perancis dapat hadiah penalty, Zidane dengan dingin mengeksekusi penalty ketiang jauh sebelah kanan tiang gawang Portugal yang dijaga Ricardo, bola melesat tajam walau Ricardo tepat menduga arahnya tapi jangkauan dan lentingan badannya tak kuasa menepis bola hasil tendangan Zidane. Ketika di partai final Perancis berhadapan dengan Itali, kembali Zidane mengambil tendangan penalty buat Perancis, Buffon penjaga gawang Itali (mungkin) belajar dari tendangan Zidane kesebelah kanan saat mengeksekusi penalty melawan Portugal maka Buffin bergerak ke kanan ketika Zidane melepaskan tendangan, tapi karena Zidane mempunyai banyak variasi tendangan sungguh menakjubkan Zidane hanya butuh menendang pelan dengan sedikit congkelan mengarahkan bola kesisi kiri, walau awalnya membentur tiang gawang atas tapi pantulannya melewati garis gawang maka terjadilah gol, Buffon hanya terperangah melihat tendangan Zidane yang “aneh dan unik” ini. Saya pernah terlibat mengelola klub sepakbola perusahaan, ketika itu klub saya untuk menentukan masuk final dan juara ditentukan melalui adu penalty setelah perpanjangan waktu normal hasilnya akhirnya tetap seri. Pesan pelatih saat brifing dipinggir lapangan biasanya begini “Siiapkan mental kalian yang mengambil penalty, kosentrasi penuh, jika kalian ingin melakukan tendangan ke kiri kuatkan hati tendanglah ke kiri, kekanan lakukan tanpa ragu-ragu kekanan, keatas pojok gawang lakukan juga tanpa ragu-ragu, tapi sebaiknya tendang menyusur tanah dengan keras kesisi pojok kiri atau kanan gawang jika kalian merasa ragu tendangan keatas pojok gawang akan melambung” Untuk kipper begitu juga biasanya pesan pelatih “Jika anda yakin tendangan tersebut arah kekiri, loncat kekiri, kalau kekanan meloncatlah kekanan tetap focus kekaki eksekutor paling tidak bisa membantu membaca kemana arah bola ditendangannya” Begitulah tendangan penalty disamping memang berbau untung-untungan seorang eksekutor yang hebat dan lihai, mentalnya harus kuat (melawan diri sendiri) juga harus memiliki skill dalam mengambil tendangan penalty dengan berbagai variasi dan gaya menendang, ingat seorang Socrates pemain besar Brasil di Piala Dunia 1982 di Itali hanya perlu satu langkah dari bola menendang tapi gaya tendangan ini cukup sulit kipper menduga kemana arah bola. Itulah sekilas seputar penalty yang saya tahu, amati dan pelajari dari berbagai turnamen sepakbola kelas dunia yang saya tonton.
