    Signori: ‘I’ve taught Neymar how to kick penalties’

    Former Lazio striker Giuseppe Signori will be remembered as one of the best penalty takers in Serie A as he managed a stunning 84.6% of penalty kicks scored during his playing career. Back in the 90s, Signori used to kick penalties without taking a run-up and Libero has released an interview with the former Italy striker who revealed that Barelona have contacted him to ‘teach’ Neymar how to kick penalties.

    “Some time ago Barcelona’s technical staff contacted me to give some advices to Neymar. I revealed him the ‘knee secret’ and he has recently kicked some penalties following my advices. He still misses some penalties without taking a run-up, but that ones are the most difficult ones.”

    “Of course, the most angled set pieces are taken, the better it is, but the power of a shot is also very important. Powerful are the best but also the most risky so the best thing ever is to keep the ball at the ground’s level. If the ball goes up from 70 to 150 centimetres, there is only a 50% chance to score.”
