HERE IS WHO WILL TAKE PENALTIES AT PSG! Messi, Neymar, Ramos or Mbappe? Taking penalties in football is always a special skill. Often it’s not so much about mastery, as it’s about sports cunning, mental stability and unpredictability. Usually there is no problem in appointing a penalty taker in the team. There are often one or two players who are good at taking 11-meter shots even in the top clubs. But things are a little different in the PSG case. Plus, no one dares to call the current squad of the French giants ordinary. We will analyze all the main candidates to take penalty kicks at PSG and tell you who will do it with the highest degree of probability. Guys, be sure to subscribe to our channel. It only takes a couple of seconds, but you will never miss new videos from us. Hello to all of our old subscribers and welcome to the new ones. We say Vamos and let’s begin! A dark story from the past about PSG and penalties The history of PSG and the penalties has a special connotation. Many of you probably remember the conflict that happened between Neymar and Cavani a few years ago. Edinson Cavani was the team's primary penalty taker. In the 2017 match against Lyon, he approached the mark to perform a kick and the club newcomer Neymar wanted to take it away from him. As a result, the Uruguayan forward refused to give away the ball, but did not manage to score. A conflict flared up and almost turned into a fight in the locker room after the match. After that incident, the then manager of the Parisians Unai Emery said that from then on, Neymar would be a regular penalty taker. Such a turn of events could not please Edinson, because in addition to the hurt feeling of pride, he could also lose a serious financial bonus for the number of goals scored. In many ways, the situation influenced the atmosphere within the team, because the star players could not find a common ground for a long time. And such things don't just go away. Such a seemingly petty issue probably had a great impact on the results. Who knows, maybe partially because of the spoiled relationship between the two Latinos, the Parisians have consistently failed in the Champions League. Therefore, Mauricio Pochettino is faced with the task of solving the issue of a primary penalty taker. And we think it’s very important to do this as soon as possible in order to prevent potential problems. So who are the candidates? Here they are: Tricky. Kylian Mbappe The reason why Mbappe may become a primary penalty taker is simple: Kylian may be given that right as one of the bonuses for him extending his contract with PSG. Everyone knows that the Frenchman wants to move to Madrid and the club management is trying very hard to keep him. Although such a decision may have its consequences. Old-timers and more experienced players may simply not accept this, which will provoke a new scandal. And that’s the last thing PSG would want. Possible. Sergio Ramos After Cristiano Ronaldo left for Juventus, it was Sergio Ramos who became Real Madrid's main penalty taker. And it should be noted that he is incredibly good at this. During his career, Sergio converted 30 out of 35 penalties. His conversion rate is 86%. But 4 of those 5 failed shots were for the Spain national team. At the club level, he missed only one out of 23 kicks. This means that he converted 96% of his penalties. Actually, the reason why Sergio Ramos may become a regular PSG penalty kicker is his top skill in this component. And a lot of experience. We estimate the likelihood of Ramos being PSG primary penalty taker at 15%. Conservative. Neymar Everything is simple here. Neymar is the club's main kicker at the moment. He didn’t take a penalty kick only when he couldn’t play. Neymar could also let Mbappe take the shot, if he had already scored a goal in the match, but Mbappe did not. This is the reason why Neymar will be taking penalties next season. Throughout his career, the Brazilian has converted 62 out of 76 shots from the mark. Which means that his conversion rate is 86%. Besides, his statistics are almost flawless in recent years. Last season and the season before that, PSG number ten missed only one penalty in each. Buth both matches were won anyway. Therefore, there is no doubt about his reliability. Emotional. Leo Messi Messi will definitely be among the contenders for the right to be called the team's primary penalty taker. Leo has the most experience in taking penalties, but at the same time, he has the lowest conversion rate. He has scored 101 out of 130 goals from the mark in his entire career. Therefore, his conversion rate is only 78%. That figure is lower than any other penalty kick contender on our list. The reason why Leo will ask the penalty kicker role is that he always strives to take responsibility. This quality, among other things, led him to the achievements that he has now. #messi #psg #vamos
