Would you believe that this guy that supposed to be the best footballer of 2011 could miss an easy penalty.........twice, this season only ??
Yup, it must be sucks to be the person to blame for the loss. Because he deserves it, since the shot was not strong enough, and was too predictable. Valencia's goalkeeper had no trouble at all in catching the ball. Infact, he said that he already studied Messi's penalty's shot, where he realized Messi doesn't have variety in the direction.
The same situation happened last year over Sevilla. Messi missed the shot, and when he missed, the team somehow failed to win. In all 6 penalties this season, he have failed twice, that's around 35%.
Messi is indeed having a bad term when it comes to penalty kick. He's usually full of confidence when dribbling the ball passing the guards, but that when he knew he gets backup from his other trustable team mates. But in penalties, he's on his own, at least until he take the shot.
(Remember how he did a funny penalty against AC Milan last November ?? He had to repeat his shot after received a yellow for doing such weird gesture..... )
In total 20 penalties he had taken so far, he failed 7th of it. So, it's another 35% failure. A bad record for number one player.
