Toney’s ability to remain calm under pressure is something that sets him apart from other players. In a high-stakes situation like a penalty kick, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment and let nerves get the better of you. But not Toney. He’s a player who exudes confidence, and it’s infectious.
‘I’ve always been a confident player,’ Toney said in a recent interview. ‘I believe in my ability, and I know that I can score goals.’
This confidence is what allows Toney to take risks on the pitch, like his no-look penalties. It’s a move that requires precision, skill, and a deep understanding of the game. And Toney has it in spades.

As I watched Toney’s latest penalty, I couldn’t help but think of the greats who have come before him. Players like Michael Owen, who made the no-look penalty an art form. And yet, Toney’s ability to execute the move with such consistency and precision is something that sets him apart.
