England manager, Gareth Southgate, has banned his players from talking about penalties to keep their shootout secrets safe during Euro 2024.
The Three Lions are in the semi-finals of the tournament, following a shoot-out win over Switzerland.
All five takers converted their kicks, while goalkeeper Jordan Pickford saved from Manuel Akanji.
Southgate has used different strategies to improve England’s record at penalties, including a psychologist, analysts and intense practice sessions.
But he has also blocked players from talking about shootouts, in a clear attempt to stop it from becoming too much of an obsession.
Squad members like Jordan Pickford, Marc Guehi and Ezri Konsa have all been banned from answering questions on penalties during this tournament.
