La clasificación de Australia a Qatar 2022 no es magia, son detalles [COLUMNA]

"Yes, that happened. We had talked about it. If someone saw something like that (a sheet with notes), we were going to throw it away. It was kill or be killed," said Australian goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne when asked about the incident where he was seen throwing Peruvian goalkeeper Pedro Gallese's bottle behind the advertising panel during the penalty shootout.

They had everything prepared. From how they wanted the match to unfold, the stage they wanted to take the match to, and the strategy to win it on penalties. Even the Australian coach said it in a press conference, but unfortunately, we didn't pay attention.

Penalties have always been penalties. Very few things have changed in these types of decisions. However, unlike in the past, there are tools that allow you to better prepare and reduce the margin of error. Ignorance can lead you to "fatality" or to miss out on the World Cup.

In the broadcast, it only took a couple of minutes to get information about Redmayne and his peculiar way of facing penalties. But it wasn't just dancing, the Oceanian goalkeeper was the master of a ceremony that had not only to do with "dancing" on the goal line before his opponent's shot, but also with other details.

That blessed word again. The coordination between Arnold and Redmayne was done. The goalkeeper saw how everything his coach had told him was coming true, and when his moment came, he couldn't fail. Especially after studying the possible Peruvian shooters. With Lapadula, Advincula, and Tapia, he was crossed. When it was Callens' turn, he stood still, waiting for the shot down the middle. Coincidence? Certainly not.
