In Japan - S. Zaza's style 11 meter penalty © JumpStory

During the first days of 2021, a bizarre episode flew in from Japan. At a local school competition, Komi Ryota decided to repeat the 11-meter penalty kick of Italian Simone Zaza, who rose to fame in the 2016 European Championship. However, unlike the unsuccessful professional footballer, the long-struggling student struck confidently and the goalkeeper had little chance to deflect the ball.
