The ex-Gunners goaltender has slammed those who favor a stuttered foray into taking free kicks, such as the Blues midfielder Jorginho, with Arsenal nicely pointing out that those who take this approach may end up looking like “kn*bhead” when they concede .
A little about the topic
Jorginho fluffed up his lines a lot when he recently got into place against the Hammers, rolling into the arms of grateful West Ham keeper Lukasz Fabianski with a stealthy effort during the London derby. Legendary former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman, who has faced a lot of opposition from 12 yards in his playing days, has never been a fan of those who indulge in the minds of the game and take great delight in seeing any setbacks make players who should know better look decidedly stupid .
What did Seaman say about Jorginho?
David Seaman revealed when reflecting on Jorginho’s shocking penalty miss – who registered 17 of his 19 goals in the PL for the Blues from the spot – that in a way he’d love it sometimes, because he’d be just how right he doesn’t move they’ll see what happens. But according to Seaman, when things go wrong, like Chelsea vs West Ham, how bad does he look? Lukasz just fell on him, not him, it didn’t even sting his hand.
When things go wrong, they look really bad, but just as Lukasz’s rescue looked so easy, if he dives the other way, he doesn’t get it, he overpowers him. Even though they would be kind of relieved that they missed it, they would then think, ‘oh what a kn*bhead'”. David added about an approach that is getting more and more popular lately, which is annoying because they find it’s a bit of a lack of respect. John Aldridge was the first person David remembers doing this in the league. David Seaman says he would run up, stutter, and then lay down, but it was just one leg. He just stops and then hits.
