Oleksandr Kovpak: "It really annoys me when the goalkeeper before a penalty kick..."

The former forward of the Ukrainian national team, Oleksandr Kovpak, commented on the new penalty shootout rules, which will come into force on July 1, 2023.

— It really annoys me when the goalkeeper kicks the ball before a penalty, passes it from hand to hand or does anything else that is very distracting and prevents concentration. At the same time, I do not understand how the referees will evaluate the behavior of the goalkeepers, according to what criteria? It is important that there is no double interpretation of the rules by different judges, said the forward.
