PAYING THE PENALTY

愛華頓在英超這個賽季仍未獲得一球十二碼!
領隊莫耶斯對這項統計感到十分困惑。
但愛華頓仍在這賽季能取得52個入球 — 已經平了上季的入球紀錄。
莫耶斯說:「我們從未獲得十二碼,我們只在第二場由史杜比斯射入唯一一球罰球。」
「這完全是一項不可思議的成就 — 實際上不是一項成就!」
愛華頓有一定數目具有爭議性的十二碼遭奪去,最顯然不過的是在葛迪遜公園的打毗戰。
莫耶斯補充:「我不認為我曾在一支球隊,全季是從不獲得一球十二碼的。」
「但我經常回想那一球我們在對陣利物浦的那一球。若那一球都不是十二碼,那便無有任何一球會是十二碼。」

Everton still haven't been awarded a penalty in the Premier League this season.
It is a statistic which has bemused manager David Moyes.
But the Toffees have still managed to score 52 times this term - already matching last season's league total.
Moyes said: “We’ve not had a penalty kick, and we’ve only scored one free-kick from direct play, which was Alan Stubbs in the second game of the season.
“It’s quite an incredible achievement – or non-achievement really!"
Everton have had a number of claims for spot-kicks controversially turned down, most notably in the derby at Goodison Park.
Moyes added: “I don’t think I’ve been at any club before where I’ve not had a penalty kick all season.
“But I’ll always go back to the one we didn’t get against Liverpool. If that’s not a penalty then nothing’s a penalty.” |
