70 <strong>Goalkeeping</strong> | 3. Technical preparation<br />
The goalkeeper’s movement towards the ball<br />
The goalkeeper analyses the ball’s trajectory and reacts<br />
by moving accordingly to make a save at the right time<br />
and in the right place. The goalkeeper uses the following<br />
1. sprint<br />
Ball crossed to the near post.<br />
2. side steps and crossover steps<br />
3. ¾ movement (in the form of side steps and/or<br />
crossover steps)<br />
Ball crossed to the far post.<br />
The choice of movement between side steps and crossover<br />
steps depends on the speed of the ball and the distance the<br />
goalkeeper has to cover (very short movement – side steps,<br />
otherwise crossover steps).<br />
While moving, the goalkeeper decides whether to catch or<br />
punch the ball. This decision may be infl uenced by:<br />
• the ball’s trajectory,<br />
• the presence of other players,<br />
• the weather conditions,<br />
• the goalkeeper’s mental state (if he has dropped the<br />
previous two balls, he will probably choose to punch or<br />
even stay on his goal-line for the next ball).<br />
Remember!<br />
• It is very important for the goalkeeper never to take his<br />
eyes off the ball.<br />
• If the trajectory changes (wind, defl ected ball, etc.), the<br />
goalkeeper must quickly adjust his movement.<br />
movements depending on the height and direction of the<br />
ball:
