Vinicius said: "When Raphinha is not on the field, Guimarães takes the penalties. I thought he wanted to take it, but he knew I needed a little confidence. I hadn't scored in several games, and it was important to start scoring again."

I first liked your comment so that we can be lock in the chat. In your opinion a leader always have confidence high? A leader can't be sad or fall? You are confusing confidence with being reliability. Players are judged by their performance. You have no idea what level of pressure an athlete goes through. Maybe you wanted to use the world consistency.
