Goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne has acknowledged their behavior during the penalty shootout that got them into Qatar 2022.
The definition of penalties for a quota at Qatar 2022 between Peru and Australia on Monday continues to make the rounds. The Socceroos prevailed in the series and one of the protagonists was the Australian goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne who, in addition to his movements to distract the rivals and contain one of the shots, drew attention to another fact.
In the midst of the launches of the 11 steps, television cameras caught the moment the Peruvian goalkeeper is seen drinking water from a bottle wrapped in a towel. Then he puts it on the ground, takes another bottle, drinks some more and throws it on the ground to go to the center of the ark.
Next is the Australian keeper who, despite pleas from the linesman to go to the designated post to wait his turn to save, goes straight to the bottle with the towel and throws it over the billboards behind the arches .
There you can see a piece of paper fall as Redmayne begins to walk away. Realizing this, he steps back, takes the sheet and leaves it on the other side of the posters. .
This fact has generated a series of reactions, but in any case Redmayne defends himself and has no problem recognizing his actions, as exposed in the Australian media.
“yes it happened “said the goalkeeper. “Lor we talked about it, if we had notes on our water bottle, and if anyone saw it, they threw it away. I know how much it means to the boys and it was a kill or be killed moment so I seized my moment “, he explained later.
He also took the opportunity to thank the signs of affection received in Australia after reaching the quota in Qatar 2022. “It was huge, we can already see the impact it had. Fans and media are so positive, optimistic and anxious. This is the influence we have on the national team. Success is contagious ”.
Finally, he talked about the impact of his performance. “It’s quite surreal. He hasn’t really penetrated yet. I am not a hero. I only played a very small part so I can’t take credit for it ”.
