2016 EURO GOAL ANALYSIS AND SOLUTION

This is the goal of the match between France and Rumania.

First of all, please look at the pictures and find out 

the cause of the goal.

 picture 1

Do you see the right side of the goalkeeper wide?

The position of the goalkeeper wrong.

Especially, the defender reduced the goalkeeper's left side defensive range, 

but he did not recognize it.

Look at the picture above and think about it.

picture 3

 The goalkeeper's stance is too wide.

If the goalkeeper's stance is wide, the range of diving defenses is reduced 

because he can not move his foot sideway. 

picture 4

It is a dive preparation movement in which the goalkeeper moves 

his weight without moving his foot.

Eventually, the goalkeeper could not even dive and lost goal. 

Positioning during the game.(picture6)

As shown in the picture below, defender's(red borders) block the goalkeeper left side range, 

so if the goalkeeper is positioned a little behind the right, 

there is a high probability that he wouldn't lost goal.

(picture 7)

Note that when the player is shooting left - foot, it is the path of the ball's movement.

(picture 8)

As the ball is bent as above, the right side of the goalkeeper becomes wider.

Therefore the goalkeeper moves to the right by 20cm from usual position, 

and can cover both directions.

Each time I emphasize, it is very important to choose the position of the goalkeeper according to the position of the defender

20cm is a short distance but it is an important distance for the goalkeeper to save or lost goal.
