I think you are focusing a lot on getting that hop before kicking whereas Jorginho actually jumps and uses the airtime as a delayed shot to see if the goalkeeper commits to which side. You were focusing on the ball when jumping whereas Jorginho is looking at the goalkeeper.
I am totally agree with it. I personally feel it a lot easier to take a penalty while jumping before hitting the ball, because I just wait for the keeper to commit to either one of the sides and then I just shoot to the opposite side. I have mastered this technique and my penalty conversion rate is a lot higher now. So yeah, I think this myth is true based on personal experience.
if u dont look at the keeper mid air while doing the jump u will as in this vid place the ball in a corner u chose beforehand thus making it an easier save if the keeper guessed the right corner or it will make it impossible to save since the keeper is moving in the opposite direction however this is valid if the keeper reacts to the jump by moving to the side he thinks the pen taker has chosen.When u look at goalie as bruno fernades does u will probably gain info which side the keeper chose to jump so you can decide where to place it with the keeper jumping the other way(fernandes pen against watford 19/20 season and many more examples).if the keeper composes himself to not even flinch then u gain no intel and u lost momentum to kick the ball harder thus making it a bit more easy for the keeper(missed pen by bruno against newcastle for example).
Not going to lie Kieran you've came a long way as a keeper, I remember back when you'd get out of the way, now you're catching balls like it's nothing! Props my man!
@@eliteheister880 Synthetic materials are supposed to be a good comfortable fit from the get go since they don't tend to stretch. Leather boots are supposed to be (slightly too) tight and stretch to the shape of your foot as you wear them.
For the hot water myth, I think some reasons why you got it busted. 1. When you soak it in warm water and then leaving it overnight, of course, it would shrink. 2. You should have soaked the boots only, after that wear it until it is cooling down, moulding the boots to your feet even better. I used to do it for my rugby boots. It worked as I did it like in no. 2. It fits better to my legs and the shape of my legs. This is also what we always do with our mouthguard to get better mould. If you leave it until it cools down, of course, the moulding wouldn't take shape. The myth works, for me at least. However, some people said it is not good for the longevity of the boots. Athletes did it, no problem. They could afford or sponsored a pair of new boots for every game.
I would say soaking the boots in hot water depends on the boot material; back in the day boots were leather and would definitely stretch and mold to your feet but youre supposed to soak the boots on your feet then while theyre still wet go play in them and they stretch and mold to your foot further. The boots that are made of synthetic materials i wouldn't think would benefit from soaking in water.
another way is to wear your football boots when your not playing (when you put them in the hot water) or you can put a newspaper or some tennis balls to help it mould and not shrink
The jump penalty is meant for you to look up and see where the keeper is moving as the keeper will move towards the direction he’s going if you do a jump because it is sudden motion
Based on personal experience I think that the jumping penalty myth is true. I personally feel it a lot easier to take a penalty while jumping before hitting the ball, because I just wait for the keeper to commit to either one of the sides and then I just shoot to the opposite side.

There's another factor to the shirt sale thing. IT HAS TO BE SHIRTS THAT WOULDNT HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN SOLD. For instance there were 520,000 Ronaldo shirts sold for Juventus, but how many of those would have just got another player on the back if Ronaldo hadn't signed?
I used the water myth as they call but its meant for leather boots and old style nike boots as it helps the boots to break out more. Boots this days are made with cheaper materials so they break in minutes
one of the skinny adidas ones. i had the same problem, and after long searching and testing, the adidas ones that are thin are the best. you can get them at any local soccer/football or general sports store.
The jumping penalty doesn’t work like that, it is used because when you jump the goalkeeper will move the way he will dive in, so when you see where he moves, you shoot the ball at the opposite side
The hot water trick works well for me. I have wider feet and soaking for 10 minutes in hot water, putting newspaper or small towels on the inside and letting dry overnight, then put them back on the next morning always works for me. It doesnt work if you dont put something on the inside to soak up moisture or use any outside heat. I know people use it to soften boots, but I think it doesnt help unless you have wider feet to help stretch the boots to fit better
With the boots in hot water. It will only work on leather boots, synthetic aren’t supposed to change. Like when you’re playing in the rain. Leather boots become much heavier and synthetic don’t.
Myth No.7 It is all about looking at where the goalkeeper moves to place it the other way. For example, when Jorghino started jumping during penalties it through the goalkeeper off one way and he would look and go the other. I'd say it definitely makes a difference.
The beckham free kick style work for real. I remember when I was 12 and see a champions league magazine in tv where beckham explain his free kick. I've trained a lot with his style and I become the free kick specialist of the team. The ammount of free kick on the goalmouth is amazing once you master the technique. Thank for your video (always amazing) from Italy
You could’ve tested the Ronaldo’s boots thing a bit better if I’m being honest. You were supposed to dip then in hot water and then wear them and walk around or kick a ball about so it moulds into the shape of your foot. Just having them on for a while won’t do much as while wearing them you probably would’ve noticed that the feel a bit loose around ur foot (which is what your basically trying to fix) you’d also notice a bigger difference if you were actually playing as that would help you judge if it the boot feels more flexible and less stiff than normal.
The thing I watch him is his crystal clear everything and 100 percent real if he does comparison you cannot judge him that he doesn't do it correctly because this man shows all the possible ways to compare that make us feel that he is not biased
The jump before penalty technique only works if you wait for the keeper to move and then put it in the opposite corner. That’s why u have to have your eye on the keeper the whole time and is very hard to consistently pull off
Pro tip; Rather than doing all 45degree run ups first, then the 0degree, alternate, because that way both options have the benefit of warming up, rather than just the 2nd half
Just a quick shout, the boots in the bath trick has been around since Ronaldinho and Ronaldo/ Carlos days ... I used to do it myself, it about moulding the boot to your foot 👌🏼
I heard it makes the gloves durability so short that it may take you 5-10 matches to throw it away and I feel it’s a bad one, just go for the sticky gloves inih
I've tried it and it kinda works buh it's better to just buy the glove glue spray or goalkeeper glove balm and apply before a match and like at half time
The hot water myth probably comes from soldiers breaking in their leather boots back in the days where leather was standard. I suspect it would still work with leather football boots to some extent, but with the new synthetic materials being used in modern boots they probably dont get affected by hot water like real leather does
The jumping penalty isn’t about just jumping it’s about giving you an extra second to see we’re the keeper is diving then all your have to do is tap it in to the other
For the hot water myth, it works better on leather boots. I used it sometimes and just got my boots wet with some cold water when I use my Adidas Predators and it did work, but instead of making it a more comfortable fit, I wanted it to be a tighter fit because then the ball would get more contact with my foot because the boot was gripped around my foot so I cold get a harder hit
The tighter fit for me is super useless lol, my feet grow like crazy and every few months I outgrow a pair. Even during my first season I outgrew the pair mid season
Kieran, next time please do if you add more rubber to the boot, if it gives better grip because adidas has started doing that in their predators but I want you to take it to the extreme like adding a big and good amount of rubber all through the boot and test your dribbling and control and shooting.
I would guess the expected effect mechanism of the jumping penalty is that it looks so ridiculous that it might make the keeper laugh so hard he loses concentration ;)
yeah plastic boots are different in water , then you stuff leather ones with newspaper to dry them , also the free kick for swerve you may notice how a player and his standing foot rolles over a bit almost like they twist it .
The jumping penalty gives u an advantage as u can read where the keeper is driving and put it in the other corner, the other guy was just hitting the ball at u in goal.
With penalty kick it depends if you can control the power. Troy Deeney has one of the best conversion penalty rates in the UK and he just uses insane amount off power.
This!!! Physics tell us power is unarguably better if you have actual control of where the ball goes as it gives the keeper less time to react. If your power shot acts like a shotgun going to all kinds of random places not so much.
Forming your shoes wet was in the old days when they was made out of leather. Wet them and then play in them wet until they dry. They then gave in where they were pressing your foot.
Who remember that power house kick from way out on the pitch from Roberto Carlos? That kick was a straight run up and because of the level of power behind the ball i guess that's how it manages to generate so much curve. He also scored something similar like that in a match against Jamaica.
