Henderson absence leaves Kane ‘alone’
Geir Jordet, one of the leading bodies for technical and penalty research Has worked with top clubs and international teams to increase their chances of success from 12 yards.
He told Sky Sports Kane’s technique was not typical of his usual preparations. which can be very transformative for nervous prisoners. And external factors may come into play with the England captain.
He said: “I looked at the penalty, the kick itself, trying to think about the dynamic between Kane and (Hugo) Lloris and his behavior before the shot.
“I really didn’t find anything that I thought was interesting. That doesn’t mean nothing. Because he obviously did something that he wouldn’t normally do. Was he overcompensating because he had to face his team-mates at the club? It wasn’t just Lloris who knew where he put the penalty. but the whole world
“It was interesting to look at the surroundings there. the type of communication that takes place the way his teammates support him He had teammates with him for both kicks. But it’s different.
“Jordan Henderson is the world champion in penalty takers. Nobody did it better than him. for the first penalty He grabbed the ball and led Kane into the box. It feels like a father sends his son to school.
“Henderson was substituted before the second penalty. And that was different. At first, Ken was alone. which doesn’t necessarily mean anything He was used to doing it alone. And it’s not what he perceives, but it will have.”
Former Germany striker Jurgen Klinsmann said he felt the wait from the first foul. Then a VAR review and finally penalty sickness contributed to the missed penalty.
Without Henderson’s calm influence Jordet feels Kane’s well-meaning England team-mate may have contributed to the problem.
He said: “When I looked at the details about it. I felt that he was lonely and a little defenseless. Although the French players weren’t much hostile back then. other players Much worse, Mason Mount and Jude Bellingham stepped up and did their best to support Kane and defend the penalty.
“It might add to the problem a bit or at least cause chaos. After that there was a little back and forth. Contrast that with Henderson being very quiet. fragile but neat He’s totally there. It’s hard to use science. These become art.”
Although Lloris’ advantage over the other goalkeepers was In terms of Kane’s insight into penalty technique, in reality, very little. But the penalty is as much about psychology as it is about. with ability
And if the striker is nervous for a moment, Jordet told Sky Sports it could be an advantage for Lloris.
“In my experience, every small event or addition of a penalty tends to favor the goalkeeper,” he said. If there is some history there something special It will give the goalkeeper a slight advantage. Because the expectation is always that the penalty taker will score.
