In hindsight, this shouldn't be the first time Malick Thiaw has seen Higo stop a penalty. No, he had seen the same scenario so many times from afar last season, and this season, three of the goals that Higo conceded came from this scenario; at least the goalkeeper managed to save two of them before losing from the second ball.
So, yeah, the young French defender knew how capable Higo was when facing a penalty scenario.
However, seeing from a close distance was a different matter, especially when the goalkeeper did everything to save his ass. The young man saw everything clearly, from how Higo didn't even move to the mind game that the opponent wanted to throw to even that perfect block on the spot, and he had to admit that witnessing how Higo did it was pure art here.
Malick Thiaw was never someone who was easy to get impressed, but this time, the young man had to admit that Higo really showed why he deserved all the praises that he received so far.
