- Title
Penalty-ul din fotbal – de la loterie la ştiinţă.
- Authors
Dumitru, Gheorghe
- Abstract
It was in 1891, about 30 years after the Football Association was formed (1863), when the penalty kick was introduced. However, penalties still remain a subject of romance, dread, excitement, myth, pressure or fear - depending on the position or role of those speaking of or being involved in, and the great majority of soccer managers, coaches and players continue to say they are „a lottery", „a roulette" or even "a Russian roulette" and consider practicing them is a waste of time. Surprisingly, only about 25 years have passed since the first paper on penalty, but it is evident that the topic attracts more and more researchers. Currently the internationally circulated literature on this topic is still scarce, consisting of at most 200 papers. Some of them represent the base and the substance of the present paper, whose main purpose is to give a brief survey of the recent and reliable knowledge in the field, insisting on the problem of choking under pressure, which many of the penalty takers participating to the penalty shootouts within international soccer tournaments seem to experience.
