Europa League
Look at the crazy miss by the Lazio goalkeeper. How much did he have at stake to lose, fans ask
Even horrible mistakes belong to football. Unfortunately for goalkeepers, they are the most visible because they often end in a goal being conceded. Thomas Strakosha of Lazio had one bad moment in the Europa League.
Even horrible mistakes belong to football. Unfortunately for goalkeepers, they are the most visible because they often end in a goal being conceded. Thomas Strakosha of Lazio had one bad moment in the Europa League.
Galatasaray welcomed Lazio in their first Europa League Group E match, along with Marseille and Lokomotiv Moscow. The Italians wanted to enter the European Cups victorious, but they failed to do so.
Also because of, or rather mainly because of, goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha’s blunder. It was the 67th minute of the match when a centre into the Lazio’s penalty area, where no home player was, was kicked high above the ground by the visitors’ defender. The ball gradually rotated into the Lazio goal, which should have been an easy job for Strakosha.
But the Albanian goalkeeper jumped up, the ball fell between his hands, bounced off the bar and ended up in the net. In the end, the whole action looked quite comical.
The fans immediately became suspicious of Strakosha. “How much did you bet to lose?” Wrote one fan on Twitter.
“He did it on purpose. It’s payback for the last 18 months of pointlessly putting Pepe Reina in his place,” wrote a Lazio fan.
