Johan Cruyff Pass Penalty Kick

Cruyff pass penalty kick: Passing the soccer ball to a teammate when you take a penalty kick? Yes, that’s what Cruyff did. The Johan Cruyff pass penalty kick. An idea for a penalty that Cruyff came up with it seems. Instead of striking the soccer ball on goal, Johan Cruyff decides to pass the soccer ball to his teammate Jesper Olsen and get the soccer ball back. A nice give and go or one two in front of the goal for a penalty kick. Pretty risky really. And I’d be a bit upset though if I was the other team for Cruyff even trying something as audacious as this…but they pulled it off.

Isn’t the other team getting shown up? They were already winning by five goals: Ajax 5 Helmond 0. Did really Cruyff need to showoff and score a penalty like this? Well, it’s pretty smooth…take a look. Perhaps there’s more to the story and a history between these two teams we don’t know about. Still impressive to pull this off in a game. Cruyff is a legend.
