"Dann fällt das auf": Stuttgart's penalty woes continue
Stuttgart's penalty woes continue, with the team failing to convert a crucial spot-kick in their recent defeat to Bayern Munich.
VfB Stuttgart's penalty woes continued on Saturday as they failed to convert a crucial spot-kick in their 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich. The miss proved costly, as Bayern went on to secure a comfortable victory and extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table.
Stuttgart have now failed to score from their last four penalty attempts, a dismal record that has left them struggling in the relegation zone. Manager Pellegrino Matarazzo has admitted that the team's penalty-taking is a major concern, and he is working hard to find a solution.
One of the main problems for Stuttgart is that they do not have a designated penalty taker. Several players have taken penalties this season, but none have been able to find the back of the net consistently.
Another issue is that Stuttgart's players often seem to lack confidence when stepping up to take a penalty. This is evident from the way they often rush their shots and fail to hit the target.
Matarazzo knows that he needs to find a way to improve Stuttgart's penalty-taking record if the team is to avoid relegation. He will be hoping that one of his players can step up and become a reliable penalty taker in the coming weeks.
Here are some of the reasons why Stuttgart are struggling with penalties:
- They do not have a designated penalty taker.
- Their players often lack confidence when taking penalties.
- They often rush their shots and fail to hit the target.
