Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul has revealed what he said to Troy Parrott during the penalty shootout win over Tottenham in the FA Cup.
The Dutch keeper, who has a reputation for being a penalty specialist, saved two spot-kicks during the shootout.
Krul was famously brought on by Louis van Gaal late in extra time during the 2014 World Cup when the Netherlands beat Costa Rica in a shootout to advance to the semi-finals.
Republic of Ireland under 21 international Troy Parrott (pictured below) was introduced by Jose Mourinho in extra time and the 18-year-old put his hand up to take a penalty.
Krul had a list of the penalty-takers on his water bottle which he referred back to before each penalty.
The 31-year-old told the Telegraph he also looks at the body language of the player:
"For me personally, I look at the player. Who is comfortable? Who is confident? With the young lad Parrott, I played a little bit with his head as well.
"I just said to him, ‘I haven’t seen many penalties from you on my homework’, and he was looking at me. I hadn’t seen any of his penalties."
Erik Lamela failed to hit the target and Krul also saved from Gedson Fernandes to send the Canaries into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
