[엑스포츠뉴스 김희웅 인턴기자] Thierry Henry, who captured more Wonder Goals than anyone else during his active career, put his thumb on Eric Lamela (Tottenham Hotspur)’s’Rabonacic Goal’.
Tottenham lost 1-2 to rival Arsenal in the 28th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020/21 season held at the Emirates Stadium in London, England on the 15th (Korean time).
Lamela stepped on the pitch instead of Son Heung-min, who injured a hamstring in the 19th minute of the first half. In the 33rd minute of the first half, he scored Wonder Goal. In the penalty box, he received a pass from Lucas Moura and scored a goal with a Ravona kick. It felt overshadowed by the late departure and the team’s defeat, but it was a great goal to be considered for a Puskas Award nomination. Sergio Regilon, who pitched together, was astonished.
Henry, who saw this scene, was also impressed. According to British media HITC, Henry appeared on Sky Sports’Monday Night Football’ on the 16th and said, “Repeat makes a habit. Lamela must have tried countless times in training (Rabonacic).”
Lamela performed Ravona kicks in several previous matches. There is also a reason for not using the weak right foot well, but the left foot is full of confidence.
Henri said, “Any other player would have kicked with his right foot in that situation. But Lamela mastered the technique so I could show it calmly.”
He stressed that it was the product of constant effort. Henri said, “Lamela does too much Rabonaki, so he sends a message from his brain to his legs. This isn’t normal, but when I repeat it over and over, I get to believe that I have it.”
According to HITC, Maura revealed through Tottenham’s official website that Lamela continued to practice the technique in training.
Adversary coach Mikel Arteta also applauded Lamela’s fantastic scoring. After the game, coach Arteta said, “It is incredible to show great and pure talent in the game. Lamela scored an amazing goal and had to respond accordingly.”
Meanwhile, Tottenham are scheduled to play the second leg of the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League round of 16 with Dynamo Zagreb on the 19th.
