'Maybe I should have said I want to take the penalty,' he could not help thinking to himself, but the next second that thought went up in smoke.
He was a new member of a team that already had a system for how they worked and that involved the set piece takers.
On the list of penalty takers for the team, he probably didn't rank in the top five of the penalty takers so by right, he shouldn't be taking the penalty, however, the real reason why he hadn't jumped at the opportunity to take the penalty was different.

The thought, 'What if I miss?' appeared in his head and prevented him from stepping up.
