RE: DAILY FOOTBALL CHALLENGE [23/01/2022] - WHAT ARE THE KEY QUALITIES YOU WOULD LOOK FOR IN A GOALKEEPER?

in World Of Football ⚽2 years ago

Every manager will like his goalkeeper to good with his feet.

As a manager, the first quality I like about a goalkeeper is his ability to communicate with his defenders. Take a look at Donarunma of PSG in the just concluded Euro 2021, what do you think made him keep more clean sheets in the tournament, that's his ability to communicate with both Bonucci and Chiellini. The thumbs up and high fives boosts the confident of both the goalkeeper and the defense as a whole.

Secondly, Many might be going for height, both to me height doesn't actually matter in choosing a goalie. His passing prowess will be second to put into consideration. Look at a coach like Pep Guardiola, he never jokes with goalkeepers that can use their feet. The likes of Manuel Nuer, Victor Valdes, Ederson etc were some of the goalkeepers he used because their passing rate is so high.

Another quality I will consider in a goalkeeper is his Reflexes ability. When it comes to reflexes, am really impressed with Spanish Manchester united Goalkeeper David Degea, he is really good when it comes to reflexes. Although he isn't quite good with his feet, but his ability to reflect to balls is really amazing and quite recommendable.
