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.

[@Empowerment_avenue750]

Yes. You even in this vid you could tell that the keeper was moving prematurely

[@Jorology]

Ya that is very true, the point of the hop is to get the keeper to commit and then you pick your side

[@jeronimocardenas4200]

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.

The jumping penalty is to see what way the gk goes to a place the ball the other side

[@vidyanoble4478]

Yeah.....i was just searching for this comment!!

[@icecoolmusic]

Unless the gk choose a side before the player kicks, due to ball speed, it's impossible to catch

[@Osman1c57]

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).

[@AfnanStudio_]

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.

[@whoppers2]

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.

[@rezmoon]

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

[@jeronimocardenas4200]

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.

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

[@jonnyharding3646]

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?

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

[@afaleq2322]

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

[@lanovyr2497]

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

[@mattrag4988]

During the pk test you need a keeper that's actually going to try to save it, not just hopping to either side haha

[@callejonization]

That Juventus shirt is a beauty!

[@AfroDominus]

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

Nice one. For the hot water trick, I learnt to go break them in immediately after the bath. Running around in them after they're warmed up helps them stretch out where needed.

[@danboorne_3275]

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.

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
