Krul’s Team Brings a Cheat to Anticipate Tottenham’s Penalty

DBasia.news –  Krul’s team cleverly placed a cheat sheet on his drinking bottle during a penalty shootout against Tottenham Hotspur. He did this as to anticipate the Spurs’s penalty kick.

The Tottenham vs Norwich City match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Thursday (5/3/2020) AM, had to be determined on penalties. This happened after 120 minutes, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. The hosts took the lead through Jan Vertonghen before Josip Drmic equalized.

In the high-fives round, Krul managed to become a hero of Norwich. He brushed off two Tottenham executors, Troy Parrott and Gedson Fernandes, and led his team to win.

The Dutch goalkeeper was a psychic when facing the Spurs. In addition to warding off Parrott and Gedson’s kicks, he was also able to guess the direction of Eric Dier’s shot despite failing to put a halt to the ball.

It was revealed that Krul’s glory was inseparable from the cheat sheet attached to his drinking water bottle. The cheat sheet is about the direction normally taken by the Spurs kickers.

For example, Davinson Sanchez in the water bottle is marked R. This means he has a tendency to shoot a penalty to the right. While Giovani Lo Celse is marked L which means he has the habit of kicking the penalty to the left.

This cheat sheet looks really influential when Krul dismissed Gedson kicking. Before facing a penalty from the Portuguese player, he took a few moments to drink water in his bottle while looking at a cheat sheet.

The result, the 31-year-old goalkeeper was so right in guessing the direction of the ball shot Gedson. Krul’s clever idea might be copied by another goalkeeper when facing penalties.
