Bruno Guimaraes has admitted that he needs to change his penalty taking technique after suffering more disappointment from the spot in 2026. The midfielder previously missed an important penalty for Brazil at the World Cup and repeated almost the same run up and technique when he failed to convert against Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup.The two misses have clearly made him reconsider his approach, and he now accepts that continuing with the same method would be a mistake. Guimaraes understands that penalties can have a major influence on important matches and does not want to put his team at risk by relying on a technique that has not produced the desired results.During his time at Newcastle United, the Brazilian was not among the club’s regular penalty takers. However, he scored twice from two attempts when he was given the responsibility during normal playing time, showing that he can be reliable from the spot.Guimaraes admits his penalty technique needs changingThe midfielder is not one of Arsenal’s regular penalty takers either, but he could still be called upon during a shootout or if the usual options are unavailable. That possibility means he must be ready to take responsibility whenever the opportunity arises.His recent misses have highlighted the importance of having a dependable approach rather than taking unnecessary risks. Guimaraes has acknowledged that his previous technique has not worked and appears willing to make the adjustments needed to improve his conversion rate.He also recognises that missing important penalties is disappointing, particularly when the same approach has failed on more than one occasion. Rather than ignore the problem, he has accepted that he needs to learn from those experiences.(Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images)Brazilian ready to adopt a different approachSpeaking about his penalty-taking difficulties, Guimaraes explained, as quoted by Sport Witness, that he had attempted the same technique on different occasions but now understands that a change is necessary.“I was trying to take them in a certain way. I tried it at the World Cup and I tried it here, and I’ve already seen that it doesn’t work.“I’m humble enough to recognise that I need to improve, that I need to change the way I take them.”Guimaraes will now need to develop a more reliable technique and rebuild his confidence from the penalty spot. Although he is not currently among Arsenal’s first-choice takers, being prepared could prove important when the team needs him to step forward._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
