Guardiola gives squad fitness update
Speaking in Friday’s press conference, Guardiola stated that his players practice penalties on occasion throughout the season.
“It depends on the players. Sometimes we do, sometimes we don’t even during the year,” he said.
“As an opponent you have to pay attention because with finals lately there are many arriving in extra time and penalties. It’s an experience and you have to try to control it.
“The most important skill is the mentality. You have two options. I’m going to score or I’m not going to score. That makes the difference if you are going to score or not.
“This has to work here [in the mind]. I decide right, left or panenka but you have to fully commit. I’m going to commit to this penalty.”
