You can take 100 penalties in training, but when you go out on that pitch in front of all those people and the television cameras, it's completely different.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I could give 48 penalties in every match if I wanted to. It is a question of sometimes choosing what is - in your own mind - of material importance and what isn't, what might be a crucial potential penalty and what might not be.
I always practise penalties, but what people don't understand is that you can never recreate that pressure situation that you're under.
To me, discipline in football occurs on the field, not off it.
What we've seen this season is that if something that will enhance performance is available, some players will indulge... unless the penalty is an absolute deterrent.
It's not just what you do on the pitch, it's what you do off the pitch.
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?
I don't think there are many larger lessons to be found in sports.
It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.
You want to play in every game, and you especially don't want to be in the penalty box for five minutes and give the other team a chance to get a power play, and you don't want to hurt anyone on the other team.
There's a complete difference between training for a specific event and goal and just training.
