Super Eagles lookman and the worst penalty makers of all time

Atalanta retired from the UEFA Champions League on February 18 after falling to a shocking defeat 3-1 at home to the Brugge club, the lowest team in the tournament that goes to the Ronda de Playoffs knockout.

His victory in Bergamo won a shocking aggregate victory of 5-2 and secured his place in the last 16 against wind and tide. But immediately after the contest, a star of the Super Eagles entered for scathing criticism.

Lookman under fire

Adela Lookman was the star of the Italian club last season with his Hat Hat Trick in the 3-0 final victory of the Europa League against Bayer Leverkusen.

He returned from an injury to the clash against Brugge and scored a goal to drag his team back to the contest shortly after part time.

However, the Nigerian end lost a penalty shortly after, which caused its manager Mario Gasperini to call him one of the worst penalty makers he has seen.

The toasted criticisms of the Lookman manager will not bother Brugge a bit.

Now they are safe until the 16th round of the Champions League, but the betting corridors do not make them a contestant for the tournament.

The popular Betway online betting site Currently makes the Belgian outfit a stranger of range 80/1, somehow behind 9/2 Liverpool fr 4/2.

But Gasperini comments He managed to think: Who are the worst penalty makers of all time? Let’s take a look at some suggestions.

David Beckham

David Beckham’s career is read as a Hollywood script. From his free curling to his role as captain of England, “Becks” delivered countless moments of brilliance. But penalties? That is a different story.

Perhaps this is quite hard, especially because Golden Balls had a perfect 9-0 record from the place in the 2004 Eurocup. However, one slid and ski in a 0-0 draw against Turkey in the qualification for the tournament. Then, when the championships were launched, two more was lost in the most great stage, and that is all that anyone remembers.

In England’s first game in the tournament, the patron of the three lions had the opportunity to seal the victory against France.

Becks and Co were already winning 1-0, and if I had found the network from the place, they would surely have had the perfect beginning against the reigning champions.

Instead, Fabien Barthez saved, and Zinedine Zidane would net twice in the time of injury, the first is an impressive freekick, the second a penalty of his own, to ensure an unlikely victory For Les bleus.

Fast advance to the quarterfinals, and England’s exciting 2-2 draw against the Portugal hosts went to a penalty shooting.

Beckham put the country on his back and took a step forward. As in Türkiye, he skipped the pilot in the Lisbon night sky. England lost penalties, a pain too familiar.

Fernando Torres

Fernando Torres was undoubtedly the most fatal strikers of football at his best. Throughout his time with Liverpool,

The child could not stop scoring and perhaps became the best kicker murderer on the planet, even scoring the only goal in the 2008 Eurocup final when Spain beat Germany in Vienna.

However, when he was given the opportunity for twelve yards, his shooting boots seemed to have other ideas.

Torres was famous for its speed and ability in front of the goal, but the penalty taking was a skill that seemed to avoid as the plague.

Throughout the top of his career, finding the 12 -yard network was not a problem.

However, after that painful fall of grace that followed his movement to Chelsea, it seemed that his ability from the place also left him, like many of the other talents that made him one of the greats of all time.

After 2012, Torres received nine penalties, losing five of them. The most crucial was in a semifinal of the UEFA Champions League, playing for the Atlético of the granddaughter of Madrid in Bayern Munich.

The Spanish team was already leading that draw in the objectives, thanks to the escape goal of Antoine Griezmann. Then they were given a penalty in the second half to put the tie to the bed.

Manuel Neuer saved Torres’s tone, but fortunately his team managed to cling and progress to the final.

Edin Dzeko

Edin Dzeko has built his reputation as an imposing and imposing forward who knows how to harass the defenders and go home. But penalties? They have proven to be their Kriptonite over and over again.

During his time in Rome, Dzeko took a step forward in a critical game against Cagliari in 2019.

With the level of score and the exhausted time, the Giallorossi desperately needed three points to keep their hopes of the Champions League alive.

Dzeko’s weak effort stopped easily, and the opportunity for the victory of Rome evaporated.
