The goalkeeper took the set position to save the shooting and the stance was too wide. this stance does not move quickly to the left or right. 
The goalkeeper is best to keep the stance width about 20cm larger than the shoulder width when shooting close range.
It is one of the pictures showing how stance is important to the goalkeeper.
Let's try to take this stance.

Correct the goalkeeper's position has to the effect of reducing the shooting range of the attacker.

If the goalkeeper is only holding the position and stretching out his hand at the moment, the attacker's goal range is 86cm.

The goalkeeper's defense range : 3.9m

the goalkeeper standing range : 2m

ball's diameter  :abo÷ut 22cm

3.9 - (2 + 0.22) = 1.78m ÷ 2 = 0.86m

Even, if the goalkeeper does not move, the attacker must score the shot correctly.

You have recognized the importance of a golakeeper position!!

The position of the goalkeeper and set position are the most important factors in defending opponent's shooting.
