Could have worked. Similar to what he did in the World Cup QF. By the way, he is by no

means a famous penalty stopper. That was all Jedi mind tricks from van gaal as well. He’d not saved many before either. However Cillissen hadn’t ever saved a penalty in his career at any level (a bit Robert green) and is very short for a keeper. Obviously teams knew that so he wheeled out Krul with all the antics to make it seem as though he was the penalty specialist and unnerve the opponent.

Guess he realised it was probably a very important moment and tried to use the only influence he could to reduce sharp’s chance of a good penalty. Let’s face it, he wouldn’t have made the penalty any better. That’s just an odd thing to say.
