MANUEL NEUER MADE GOALKEEPING FASHIONABLE AGAIN. Coming third in the Ballon dâOr reaffirmed that point. The face of the ânewâ breed of goalkeeper, the German phenomenon is currently at the pinnacle in his position and at the relatively young age, for a goalkeeper, of 29. Under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola, it doesnât look like heâs anywhere near his peak.
With that said itâs unfair to compare all goalkeepers to Manuel Neuer. Itâs fine for the goalkeepers themselves to aspire to his level in terms of reliability, brilliance and standing within in the game but something thatâs often overlooked is the fact there are various goalkeeping styles. Itâs not simply âtheyâre a goalkeeper, they should be like Manuel Neuerâ. Believe it or not, not all clubs need a goalkeeper like Neuer, and thatâs the crux of it all and that so many people seem to overlook.
Football and the gameâs fans have developed dramatically in the last decade or so, with fans becoming more knowledgeable on players and their positions. Thereâs an understanding when it comes to viewing a player and their position. Itâs this type of understanding that is still lacking when it comes to goalkeepers, however. Itâs not like for like. They arenât all the same.
Manuel Neuer gives this quixotic idea of how goalkeepers should be. Goalkeepers of similar style are becoming more predominant within the game but this super breed doesnât mean all goalkeepers will reach that level, nor should they. Itâs unrealistic to expect every left back to be on par with David Alaba and every right sided forward to be like Lionel Messi. These are exceptional talents with no equals.
There are three broad categories for goalkeepers:
Defensive Goalkeeper â The type of âkeeper that stays in his six-yard area and is at his most confident there. A good shot stopper with great reflexes but not the best on the ball. You get the feelings itâs âyouâre good at what you do so do itâ. (Simon Mignolet)
Sweeper Keeper â High starting point for a goalkeeper, probably on the edge of his area and it means the team can play a high line safe in the knowledge the âkeeper is able and confident enough to come and meet the ball outside of the area. These keepers are usually used in possession-orientated teams. (Hugo Lloris)
Possession Keeper â This is probably the upgrade to sweeper keeper. Teams donât want their goalkeepers to just come out and clear the ball anymore. They want a little more composure and a âkeeper that can pick a pass and start attacks. Itâs almost like a Libero Goalkeeper, they bring the ball out from the back. (Manuel Neuer)
Football is always evolving, so itâs only natural players adapt with the times, but as a goalkeeper how much can you adapt? Youâre primary role is shot stopping. You do whatever and use anything in your power to stop that ball crossing the line. In the past if you saved the most shots you were considered a good goalkeeper. Now if you make the most saves itâs because your defence is letting you down and youâre having to face more shots.
These days youâve got to be able to pick a pass from 60 yards, be able to perform a rabona and save a penalty blind folded to get any recognition from some. Advances in the sport means everything evolves but like in Jurassic World if you tamper with something too much you end up causing havoc.
Itâs not that basic, though. You also have to analyse the systems the teams play.
