PLAYER POSITION | GOALKEEPER

PLAYER POSITION | GOALKEEPER
This is of course the only player in soccer who can use their hands. However, in today’s game, the keeper has to be skilled at using their feet too, so they can clear the ball and help their team maintain position and switch the attack. Keepers need to possess a fearlessness, as they have to put themselves in dangers positions, whether it’s coming out for a cross or stopping a player charging at them one versus one. Keepers don’t need to be tall, but quick and agile, able to tip balls over the bar and get down to deflect the ball from going into the lower corner. Who are some of the best keepers in the game to learn from: Gianluigi Buffon of Juventus and Edwin Van Der Sar of Manchester United.
