This Saturday, two Ray Vallecano players completely missed a penalty combination attempt.
not everyone can be Lionel Messi And Luis Suarezthis is a lesson that will certainly be learned Oscar Trejo And Isi Palazon. In 2016, the two former teammates at FC Barcelona had surprised their world and especially the Celta Vigo goalkeeper by taking a penalty with two. The Argentinian had indeed shifted his teammate to the right instead of shooting on goal, allowing the Uruguayan to score a hat-trick in this meeting.
A totally missed combination.
This Saturday, the two players of Rayo Vallecano attempted to imitate this technique, which is as rare as it is particular. With Rayo leading 2-1 to Gijon and they had the chance to break before the break, Trejo didn’t take his penalty but rolled the ball forward slightly. Launched, Palazon thought to offer himself a ready-made goal, but his shot from the left flies into the spans of the Campo de Futbol de Vallecas. Too long pass or completely missed shot, everyone will have their own opinion.

But the two players, who had each scored in the game, wasted a precious opportunity at a crucial moment. And this failure was not without consequence since Gijon will equalize at the start of the second period. A bad operation for the Madrid club which could pick up at Villarreal and get closer to European places.
