This Wednesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain won in the final of the European Super Cup against Tottenham during the penalty shootout (2-2 / 4-3 AP).
Number 1 shooter of the Paris club since last season, Vitinha failed to find the net during the penalty shootout against the Spurs. The Portuguese did not catch the framework and remains on two consecutive failures in the exercise (the number 17 had missed a penalty during the semi-final return of C1 against Arsenal).
However, despite this new missed, Luis Enrique should not change his hierarchy. According to information from the newspaper L'Teamthe 25 -year -old Portuguese environment should keep this responsibility again this year.
Luis Enrique continues to trust him and does not intend to replace him, believing that this punctual failure does not call into question the reliability of the player in this exercise. Since he took care of the penalties, Vitinha has posted a satisfactory overall assessment: six successes over eight attempts. A beautiful mark of confidence on the part of the Parisian staff.
A change in the event of a new missed penalty?
Could the hierarchy change during the season if the Portuguese were to continue with a third missed? This is an option that should not be ruled out. If the situation came to arise, it is very likely that a player like Ousmane Dembélé will become the number 1 shooter.
The French striker performed in the exercise as he showed well during the various sessions of penalties (RC Lens, Liverpool and Tottenham) last season and against AS Saint-Etienne on January 12.
