Cool Head Not Essential Iemand de penalty van Boudewijn Zenden nog gezien? In de finale van de League Cup liet Middlesborough een penalty nemen door een Nederlander! Zenden struikelde over zijn eigen hoeven en wist met enig, pardon veel, geluk de bal toch in het doel te krijgen, middendoor en via de keeper. Hier wordt betoogd dat de goal zelfs niet geteld mocht worden omdat 'Bolo' (teiltje...) de bal tweemaal speelde. "We then had conclusive proof that a cool head is not essential to land a penalty in the net. Zenden was in a panic as he hit it, keeling over so that his left foot struck the ball and knocked against the right. It still found its target off the trailing boot of the goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen, but the double contact by Zenden should have invalidated the penalty and seen the award of an indirect free-kick to Bolton. Remarkably sharp eyesight would have been required to discern with confidence what had happened and Riley's failure to react is understandable." | <$BlogCommentDeleteIcon$> |
