05:51- Ricardo guarded the ball with his life in the video.
Reporter: He doesn't say what side he'll lean before the striker shoots. "So you're waiting, shoot, shoot. (chuta)"
6:23 Ricardo: laughs-
"No, it's hard, you need training, it's not easy, you're there---- Sometimes you [the striker] can do an unexpected movement, throw the game and score. At this level all the players are trained.
One just needs to look for something like, an arm, a leg so you can catch that and then counterattack. You have to find---it's not always possible. Now it's as if every penalty taken, it's well taken unless. That moment, that point, that's what we study. Then we look at the leg most of their weight is, then decide which side to throw oneself to."
