Goalkeeper!! Hard Position!!

My memories flying around like football (soccer)’s modern!! 

When I say something about this sport, don’t want you to think I’m just another opinionated opportunist trying to make a profit and talk about something that I don’t have an idea how it’s been played for years. I started playing  many moons ago and those years you were lucky, and really, really good player to get any monetary retribution, you were lucky just to get a promise of a good job!! 

On back posts I wrote about, how to handle (feet) the ball properly,  positioning on the pitch, lately about how’s possibly all the players inside the box nobody can understand the pitch its too long to get back and try to make a goal, it’s almost impossible to run all way back, your brains will not have oxygen enough to think. That’s the reason some players miss an easy goal, with all the goal free of obstruction they shoot the ball wide!!! Also I explained (or tried) too many people around the goalie it’s not good!!  EVERY BALL going inside the box has to be challenged for the goalkeeper!!! 

My memories brings to me great goalkeepers,  one specially we played (and/or was one of tmy first coaching)  on those years wasn’t many “experts “ to coach. (and the players have to step up) We learned already in our pickup games when we were kids. Not adults to confuse us  I don’t remember his name, just the nickname Balconero (balcony man) ,  Remember him because he did like all the others goalies, DIVES to to balls, even if the ball was in the feet of the attackers . He lost several teeth at young age. Today, his son is coaching at an Academy, here USA (West Palm Beach, Florida) Adrian . He made Football his way of living, not like us, we had to work regular jobs!!! I always pick goalies like him, and/or teach how to be a good one, if not, ask    Robert (Bob) Conover, one of the first players (American) to play in C.A.  Cerro-Montevideo, Uruguay ,  

I believe I wrote a lot of ideas how to improve the game. To no avail. Some people gets intrigued, but that’s it!! I keep saying, my last message…. But I can’t quit till I see a few good plays and not anymore those people crying and turning on the grass an imaginary injury yelling like when they children “Daddy, Daddy “ 

And REMEMBER a goalkeeper under the 3 posts is a “DEAD DUCK “!!!

WELCOME MESSI!!!

Even if it’s not my “forte’”  I have to be happy watching all the comments of how the game will improve!!

If anybody read my prior posts would know the I always said money, or a STAR wouldn’t win games!!

In this case would (I don’t believe) be different THREE STARS!!! The magic wand just started to making things happen!!!(much-o).  MONEY!!

To IMPROVE the game don’t need STARS, what you need it’s a new style of playing .

NO MORE throwing the ball without destination, hoping for the best,  

STOP throwing those cross to the hoping for the best, especially 90-95 % of the players just put the head  on the ball!!  It’s a difference to put the head, or HEADING the ball!! (If anyone it’s intrigued to what I mean, let’s chat. I’ll explain)

When defending, go for the ball, don’t let the other players dominate it, just challenge!!  Don’t watch and start  backing and watching how the opponent advance without a challenge!!!

Also when the attacker shoot, DON’T turn around scary the ball may hit your pretty face, (better choice another sport)

After you recuperate the ball, even inside your box, CONTROL, looking around for an open player, pass and keep going with the other players, don’t stay back just in case, have faith then a good play will happens!! If you’re scared to lose the ball, better go to work in an office!!!

I can keep going and going, but if you read my priors posts, you’ll know what I mean!!

WELCOME GUYS!!!  Perfect place for “teaching “!!!
