What Jorginho Actually Does When Taking Penalty Kicks That Makes Him Not To Miss

The Penalty Kick is said to be the easiest kick in football but nowadays it's declared as the toughest and most disappointing kick, because almost everyone is expecting the kicker to score but when he misses it triggers the highest form of disappointment.


Chelsea Midfielder Jorginho is their number 1 Penalty taker and his penalty skills are unique and extraordinary. This article will explain what he actually does when taking Penalty Kicks that makes not to miss scoring the goal.

Most players when taking Penalty Kicks goes for one of the Four moves :

1.Power: This is when the kicker applies soo much power in his shot making too fast for the keeper to reach in short time, but doing this is risky cuz sometimes it lacks accuracy and could go wide.

2.Last Egde Accuracy: This is when a player tries to play the ball very close to the corner of the post making it a longer distance for the keeper to reach, but this has sometimes disappointed because not all players have this level of accuracy has sometimes it hits the post or the keeper could save it.




3.Top Corner: This is when the player tries to play the ball at the top corner of the post. This skill mastered by Lewandoski but has shown that it is not easy to acquire, it sometimes fails by when too much shot and loft is applied by the player and the ball goes over the crossba, or sometimes if the shot power is less it could be saved by the keeper.

4.Luck: This is when the player just picks a side of the post to play his kick and hopes the Keeper goes the opposite direction. They sometimes tries to deceive the keeper by looking in the opposite direction of their shoot or facing their feet in the positioning their feet in the opposite direction of their shot right before taking the kick, which has failed most times.

But the Jorginho technique is a wonderful one and it tends to beat the keeper everytime and almost never misses.

At first Jorginho tries stay calm as he runs to the ball looking directly at the goal keeper and not the ball.


Then as he approaches the ball and about to kick the ball he takes a little jump that suspends him in the air for a few seconds, but while suspended in the air it makes the keeper move to a direction.




And after the Goal keeper has moved to a certain direction Jorginho kicks the ball the opposite side making it difficult for the keeper to make a different move to the opposite side. And with this Jorginho doesn't even need to apply too much power in his shot but just kicks it in smoothly in the opposite direction.

Jorginho has been using this technique since his time at Napoli and has missed just twice and on two occasions the Goal keepers didn't move. It happened once at Napoli but he played it with so much shot that forced a rebound which he still scored.

But the one at Chelsea was against Manchester City Ederson during the EFL Cup final, he scored a penalty during the match using his technique, but when the game got to penalty shootout The Goalkeeper was wiser this time and stayed stagnat till he kicked the which he followed and blocked but unfortunately rebounds can't be taken during shootout.
