Since spectators in our country are not able to watch this sport, it is interesting to see the way blind soccer players take penalties at the Paralympic tournament.
A video was published where you can see the way blind soccer players take penalties, which very quickly won the hearts of all soccer lovers.
A blindfolded player slowly approaches the ball and kicks a penalty while the guide tells him where to shoot, and the goalkeeper stands on the goal line and does not wear any blindfold.
By the way, soccer for the blind is a variation of futsal designed for soccer players who are blind or visually impaired.
The rules are very similar to futsal rules, but there are some exceptions.
All players except the goalkeeper are blindfolded, and the ball has been modified so that a rattling sound can be heard during player contact with it.
Players are asked to say “I’m going” or something similar when going for the ball, thus alerting other players to their position.
The guide is located outside the court and gives instructions to the players, and the crowd is asked to be quiet so that the players can hear the ball.
Let’s add that football for the blind has been in the Paralympic Games since 2004 and Brazil has won the championship every time since then, but now they are stopped in the semi-finals by Argentina, who were better after the penalties.
