2016 COPA - Positioning and Set Position

This is match between Mexico and Colombia



Cause of lost goal
Goalkeeper's position and set position are wrong.

You look at the pictures and find out the cause.


Attacker pass to center.




Attacker dribble to side and goalkeeper moved allow to the ball.



 Attacker continue to dribble and goalkeeper also move too.




 Attacker just before the shot, but goalkeeper was moving.  
Do you see the goalkeeper's legs?
His stance is narrow.





Attacker just shot,  and defender block the one side attacker's shot range. But the goalkeeper did not aware and  moving continue.







The ball is coming to left side the goal, but the goalkeeper's legs are move to right side.




The ball is coming but the goalkeeper's left foot in the air now.







The goalkeeper start diving but his left foot continue stay in the air. 








The goalkeeper is now diving. 




His hand close the ball but did not touch the ball.





Finally, he lost the goal. 


How to prepare
There are many factors that goalkeeper lost goal, but the most important factors are positioning, set position and body balance.

Even if this basic skill is correct, goalkeeper lost the goal, but the ratio is very low, less than 15% the total goals.

In conclusion, basic factor in reducing the lost goals. 



Training
In the meantime, I have introduced a lot of training on positioning and set position.

This basic training have to be steadfast from childhood, and coaches should be able to continue their development through basic training.

Accurate basic skills keep players growing.
