Keepers really have a different type of brain. You don't realize how difficult it is until you try it. The positioning, timing, reflexes, awareness, bravery and confidence to just make a regular save is incredible.
And handball goalkeepers are like football keepers...on steroids... Honestly, a good friend of mine has to explain very often that he dies not beat his wife. She is a handball goal keeper (non professional) and wvery weekend she git a new set of bruisesbon her arm and legs.
Goalkeeper definitely don't get to recognition they need. People only remember goals and skills of outfield players. A goalkeeper can make 100 saves and nobody remembers but it only takes one mistakes from goalkeeper and people will forever remember his mistakes.
I feel it is the Defensive Midfielder, also known as the holding midfielder. By far the hardest and most underrated position. You are the connection between defence and the attack, the anchor. Covering defenders going forward, starting attacks, intercepting opponent attacks, dictating the tempo of the play. A great defensive mid will make defenders life easy and attackers life bliss. Some great examples are Sergio Busquets, Xabi Alonso, Javier Mascherano, Ngolo Kante, Jorginho, Nemanja Matic, Fabinho, Roy Keane, Patrick Viera and many others.
Goalkeeping is more than just shot-stopping, especially in modern football where lots of teams press high and try to force the defense into mistakes. Having a goalie who is great with his feet and can pass and progress the ball intelligently is crucial. One of the best goalies of all time (also on your thumbnail) is brilliant at this and even has some assists, his name is Manuel Neuer i think you should dedicate a video just to him
Being good with the feet is just a plus, but not necessary, Buffon and Casillas sucked with their feet but they still were TOP for so long because of how good they were. Besides Neuer also got some stupid goals because of that, he tried to play with his feet way too much and ended fucking it up, the main thing for GK are their hands.
@@MzAbbyxz Neuer is as good as them with his hands and in terms of reflexes he is even better, now he is good with his feet which separate him from others, it also allow better passes from your goalie, which Neuer is a references at and I'm talking about long passes who put pressure on the opposite defense
@@MzAbbyxz what you don't see is all the goals and corners he indirectly assisted. Also the space that opens further up the pitch because he is an option for a pass more often than the keepers you mentioned.. Also the game has changed during the careers of casillas and buffoon and so have the skills required.. You know who was partially responsible for that? Manuel Neuer.. The hands are still number one but the feet are a huge part nowadays
The core training to be a goalie is insane. The reflexes training too. Because you need to be able to go fast on the floor even if you’re 6,4 tall. And get back up even faster to go to the other side of the goal..insane!
You guys are killing it, most enjoyable reaction channel ! Just some perspective on what you said about goal keepers being under so much pressure during penalties. Although it would seem that way due to the difficulty, it’s actual the penalty taker who has the most pressure as they are expected to score as the odds favours them (around 7/10 penalties are scored) and if they miss they are especially in a big game they are heavily criticised, whereas the keeper isn’t expected to make the save, if they do they are the hero and if not saved no one blames them.
I always feel really happy when seeing someone who doesn't know much about football watching that Higuita's save 🤣. Even when it wasn't happen in official match, it was still very entertaining for any newbies in football world 😁👍.
Being a Scot, seeing René Higuita pull the scorpion kick in, if I remember correctly, was about the 88th/89th minute was both heart stopping and amazing
I'm Colombian and see you reacting to Higuita Scorpion Kick at this time is amazing, thank you for that!! one of the greatest GK, a different man inside the futbol world!
React to the one in the thumbnail, his name is Manuel Neuer he is a German goalkeeper and was nominated as the best goalkeeper a couple of times in the last 10 years. There is a video called sweeper keeper I guess. That explains pretty good his style of playing
Manuel Neuer is the best goalkeeper in Europe in the last 10-15 years He was in the world footballer's choice 3 and that as a goalkeeper There has never been anything like it in the history of football. He won everything. From the world championship title to a sixtuple with Bavaria. 💪
At min 2, that was René "El loco" Higuita, and you can see why he was called "El loco" x'D That dude would leave the box with the ball at his feet and dribble passed people and be one more on the field, dude was nuts hahaha
As someone who plays gk when playing with friends, I always thought the gk position was underrated by both fans and kids growing up playing football. Its actually very fun to play ( a 1v1 save gives me the same adrenaline as scoring ) and its one of if not the most important positions on the pitch ( although every position is important )
imo the biggest save was Rogério Ceni's against Gerrard free kick... The ball was ON POINT, if was any other keeper, any other day, it would be a goal... It was literally a miracle. So glad that I saw it live, nothing beats that
you are right guys. in soccer there is a team-captain, but there is the goalie too, the heart of the team. he delegates his defense players too and they have to listen. often players apologize for bringing the goalie in certain situations that should have been prevented, because the goalies job is effin hard. he is the only hope when everyone else messed up...
Modern GKs may be more athletic and fascinating to watch, but there's something about old-school GKs (Lev Yashin, Rene Higuita, Peter Schmeichel, Oli Kahn to name a few) that made strikers have fear in their hearts when facing them
one of the saves featuring on your video and very significant was done by Casillas during the World Cup Final played on South Africa in 2010. Due to the game was tied 0-0 on the last few minutes of the game and Casillas (Spain - Navy Blue Jersey) made the saved against Roben (Holland - Orange Jersey); the game went to extra time where Spain - Iniesta scored giving Spain their first World Cup or Estrella as futbol fans call it.
I played and still playing as goalkeeper from time to time with my friends and I am glad that you are showing goalies some well deserved love. I would say that goalies have an extra sense and most of the time they are the craziest players in the team :)).
Ran into your channel randomly but i really fuck with the content. The passion sports can bring is one of the best . watching great moments from all sports especially futbol basketball and baseball get me super hyped and super amped . 😭😭
Facts bro, goalkeeper is the most important and underrated positions in football. Goalkeepers are also important for ball distribution in the modern game to play the ball either short to the defence or long to the wingers and strikers, or to the centre midfielders in the middle of the pitch. They have to do this fast and think quick and be good with the ball as many teams press high meaning the opposition put pressure on the defensive players when they have the ball
That save at 4 minutes , in the world cup final , He scores Holland win the trophy, his face fills with instant regret, and Spain ended up lifting the trophy.
You have to understand that for a person who've never watched football is easier to see actual videos (sorry if i had some grammar mistakes, still improving my english)
in my opinion, bert Trautmann is the best goalkeeper of all time (1956). the fact he BROKE HIS NECK on the field, got back up and kept going for the last 17 mins of the game! amazing.
As a goalkeeper you have to read the game. The positioning is the most important skill you need because with bad positioning it is impossible to save shots and you confuse the defense completely.
Some of your favourite moments have come at the expense of my national team England. The goalkeeper scorpion kick, Zlatan's overhead kick, Maradona solo goal..shieeeet lol
Zinedine "Zadine"🤭🤭 Honest mistake but I love it✌🏽 note: the best keepers leaves no easy rebounds. Think about lying in the air and still control where to deflect a hard shot. More impressive then it looks sometimes:)
There is Metal Mesh in the ball and detectors on the goal line to work out if it crosses the line (whole ball) This has only been the case for 5 or 6 years though. Also they recently introduced VAR (video assisted Referee'd) so Goal decisions are checked and offsides can be too, or any situation when the ref makes a clear and obvious error (although in reality they still get it wrong sometimes, but it is a lot less than it was)
Higuita was 1 of the best badass goal keeper ever n even play as an outfield player while in goal .....u need to react to him the 1 who did the leap frog kick
You guys would be amazed at some of the training drills goal keeper have to go through. Is like they train to try and stop a bullet. Actually some of the training reflexes involve using a NFL football ball or some type of weird shaped ball to help the goalie with their reflexes, I’ll find a video for you guys to watch
A striker can make 10 mistakes and score 1 goal and be praised as a superstar, a goalkeeper can make 10 amazing saves and make 1 mistake he will be remember as a failure
As a keeper, I would always try to join struggling teams. Because that was when I had alot of action. When you're on a winning team, you're just standing around for 90 minutes.
@@-_-DatDude your mistakes stick out like a sore thumb on a good team. On a bad team you can make up for mistakes more often. But that all boils down to of your a good or bad goalie. I was the best goalie in my rinky dink league.
@@rutiliocaballero9505 Hahaha yeah I get you mate, that's a really fair assessment mate. Like you alluded to, for a big team that wins most games you are basically standing there like a spectator doing nothing for most of the game but it requires you to have extremely high concentration levels, alongside the strong fundamentals that all keepers need to have regardless of the level you play at. In my younger years, before I did track, I was the goalkeeper for my school year and a Sunday League team briefly(low level UK amateur football) . I hated it loool, I make a good save all I got was a clap at best from the peanut gallery and if I made a howler I was the villain of the day. It was a helluva rush. But yeah playing in goal makes me appreciate the position a lot more.
being a keeper is hard because the shots are very fast, somebody tested how fast Ronaldo's shot was and it turned out that he was shooting the ball at 80mph. obviously not everyone shots with that power but that puts it in a prospective on how fast your reflex have to be just to even see a ball that is shot at 50/60mph with everybody in the way. love from italy🇮🇹, keep it up🔥
hardest thing i found being a kepper is that you may only be called upon once in a match or a 100 times in a match but you have to be ready at any moment to be fully swtiched on and ready no as easy as it sounds when you might have nothing to do for 20 mins then the next moment you have to be ready at peak form.
Eyy gotta react to my man Iker Casillas. Widely regarded as one of the best (if not THE best) goalkeepers of all time. Also a player of los Galacticos (Real Madrid's legendary era). Edit: Also played a huge part in spain's most dominant era from 2008-2012 in which they won everything internationally
I have a friend who loves basketball, specially NBA. He is able to talk about championship stories, legendary matches, know about numbers and statistic, talks to me about the OGs like Wilt, Karim or Bill Russell and he eventually got me going with it, he invites me to his place to watch NBA now and I enjoy a lot. We are from Chile, and so you can understand he is like a soccer fan in America, so he cant share his passion as he would like to. Thing is, when he was showing me about basket I used to not properly appreciate their skills or the beauty of the game, I even felt is was kind of easy . Now a few months after I got interested in basket I think I can kind of understand more the enviroment, the importance of little things like sending a message with a dunk or a block, scoring streaks or you can sense when a player is in the zone , etc and it made me think there are little perks about the game that you wont appreciate when you are new to it. When I watched your reaction to Zinedines video it made me realise what usually people who dont know about football uses to miss. This game biggest difference with basketball is that the ball is never really under control (except when the goalie grabs it) its just bouncing around and players are a tool to drive it through the field. You never grab the ball as in basket, you never conotrol it you just can bounce it with your foot (or any part of the body besides the arms) and expect it to react as comfortable and convenient its for your positioning considering your rivals positioning , momentum, etc. You cant either throw the ball as in american football or basket. You can just kick it or hit it with any part of your body. Consider you also do all of that with the same limbs you are suposed to move your body with. What Im trying to say after I watched most of ur reactions (and specially zidanes reaction) is that this little things means a lot in football. Take for example zidane, his highlights arent THAT crazy as neymars or ronaldiñho, etc. But he is one of the all time greats and with a very unique football style, this guys first touch was the best ever probably. He was so smart as how to touch the ball when it came to him so he can manage the timing of every play. You can see he barely ever loses the ball, every little contact with his chest, foot, thigh, head, shoulder, backheel or whatever is perfect for him to do the next contact or move. Even when he dribbles, every little touch to conduct the ball is simple, but perfect so no defender can touch it, he is always ready to give a pass, score, etc. Thats why he is some of those player who can play slow pace football and dominate anyways. His control is just outstanding. Another player that fits that description is Juan Roman Riquelme. The kind of players whose technique is so good and their football IQ is so high that they can literally play walking. What I was tryng to say is that there are things that dont look too cool at first but but once you understand you can really appreciate them. Remember, football (soccer) is not as espectacular as basket, where u get 20 dunks per game, 20 triples, some blocks each team gets usually over 90 points and even the rules are made for the attackers to flourish. In football is different, is harder to score, and one goal could mean an entire championship (that why it might seem so passionate sometimes). It isnt hard to find 0-0 games and you can tie too. So lot of the entertainment of the sport is the process of a goal even if it doesnt finish in the net, the way they treat the ball is for me the most beautiful part but is hard to understand when u havent played some significant amount of football, the feeling when you properly hit it, or when the ball comes from the air and it feels almost impossible to control and then you watch zidane or bergkamp make a 40 meters ball sleep in one touch is just moving. I hope it doesnt get interpretated as if I were saying something bad about your reactions, of course there are lots of thing you dont know, Im just trying to get you to enjoy it even more, cause it might seem boring at first if you watch an actual game and not only highlights.
In my opinion the bad thing about being a goalkeeper is that when you do your job, no one notices you unless you do something really sensational and then they notice you for a few minutes. However, when you make a mistake, everyone immediately realizes that you are on the pitch too, and they will remember it later. For a few games you will remain the one who made the mistake.
In my case (a shitty goalkeeper that never played at any serious level), boxing has helped a lot. Reflex, arms/legs speed and coordination, maintaining eye contact on target, being used to hard contact… and shoulders just never get tired.
Can goalkeepers dunk? I would guess probably yes, but the skill set they are looking for is actually a different one. The typical goalkeeper is 1,85-1,95m (that would be roughly 6'1"-6'5"), so in basketball sizes a guard - small forward size. The football goal is 24x8ft in size, so the top is significantly lower than a basketball rim. In the videos it looks smaller than it is when you are standing in front of one in real life. When you are in the real life goal you wonder how you alone can cover so much area. So the goalkeepers main skill is to read the game and anticipate where the shot will most likely be coming, so they position themselves at the correct spot to cover as much of the goal as possible. Being quick on their feet is key for that, and a lot of saves where you feel the player simply shot at the keeper, well ... that is because the keeper had made sure he was in the right spot to begin with, the place the shot was most likely to go to. Of course having quick reflexes and as you mention being willing to put your body on the line are also key skills. One thing such a highlight video doesn't show is the role of directing the defense the goalkeeper has. Because the whole game is in front of him, the goalkeeper often has a view that the other players don't get, so goalkeepers will yell instructions at their teammates like "cover the space on the right", "watch out number 7 is unguarded", or even when you team has the ball and needs to escape the high pressure from the other team "pass to the right", "give it back to me", etc. This is a cool video of the drills that goalkeepers do in training: ruclips.net/video/7n51nnJPT6w/видео.html
This video focuses on Europe (with the exception of Higuita), and unfortunately, left out one of my top 5, Rogério Ceni. he's 3rd on my list, and the funny thing is, you have to react to 2 types of videos, the "best defenses," and the "best goals," you've read that right, Ceni is currently the keeper with most goals in history, a little over a 100, the guy had one season he scored over 20 goals, that's a striker's okay season, and his most memorable defense was against Liverpool in 2005 in the club world cup finals, he's a legend.

But yeah playing in goal makes me appreciate the position a lot more.
@@-_-DatDude I feel you 100% and yes the RUSH is amazing.
2:10 that was an exhibition match
3:56 just think it was the final on the word cup 2010 where iker Casillas has saved Spain at the minute 61
being a keeper is hard because the shots are very fast, somebody tested how fast Ronaldo's shot was and it turned out that he was shooting the ball at 80mph.
obviously not everyone shots with that power but that puts it in a prospective on how fast your reflex have to be just to even see a ball that is shot at 50/60mph with everybody in the way.
love from italy🇮🇹, keep it up🔥
🤣the most important skill of goalie is to have fast thinking in predicting where the ball goes before the other player take shot
Iron Mike Maignani the best Goalie 👌🏻❤️🖤
hardest thing i found being a kepper is that you may only be called upon once in a match or a 100 times in a match but you have to be ready at any moment to be fully swtiched on and ready no as easy as it sounds when you might have nothing to do for 20 mins then the next moment you have to be ready at peak form.
GIMMI DET!
awesome video guys, you guys should react to EURO 2004 highlights: Portugal edge England in penalty drama
You should react to goals at last second in football/soccer, nice videos anyway
Do you know how fast the ball is moving! It’s crazy
Watch "Lorius Karius mistakes" , a Liverpool GK who can't even catch a cold. Then "Adrian Mistakes" another Liverpool GK
Eyy gotta react to my man Iker Casillas. Widely regarded as one of the best (if not THE best) goalkeepers of all time. Also a player of los Galacticos (Real Madrid's legendary era).
Edit: Also played a huge part in spain's most dominant era from 2008-2012 in which they won everything internationally
Great gk but they should react to the man himself oliver kahn
Nobody but Spaniards and mostly barca fans even put rate him top ten
@@user-ve7hn2dh8h i "put rate" this well recherched comment 10/10
3:55 greatest save ever.
React to Ronald tested to the limit. It's a long video so might need to be a 2 parter 👍
I have a friend who loves basketball, specially NBA. He is able to talk about championship stories, legendary matches, know about numbers and statistic, talks to me about the OGs like Wilt, Karim or Bill Russell and he eventually got me going with it, he invites me to his place to watch NBA now and I enjoy a lot. We are from Chile, and so you can understand he is like a soccer fan in America, so he cant share his passion as he would like to. Thing is, when he was showing me about basket I used to not properly appreciate their skills or the beauty of the game, I even felt is was kind of easy . Now a few months after I got interested in basket I think I can kind of understand more the enviroment, the importance of little things like sending a message with a dunk or a block, scoring streaks or you can sense when a player is in the zone , etc and it made me think there are little perks about the game that you wont appreciate when you are new to it. When I watched your reaction to Zinedines video it made me realise what usually people who dont know about football uses to miss. This game biggest difference with basketball is that the ball is never really under control (except when the goalie grabs it) its just bouncing around and players are a tool to drive it through the field. You never grab the ball as in basket, you never conotrol it you just can bounce it with your foot (or any part of the body besides the arms) and expect it to react as comfortable and convenient its for your positioning considering your rivals positioning , momentum, etc. You cant either throw the ball as in american football or basket. You can just kick it or hit it with any part of your body. Consider you also do all of that with the same limbs you are suposed to move your body with. What Im trying to say after I watched most of ur reactions (and specially zidanes reaction) is that this little things means a lot in football. Take for example zidane, his highlights arent THAT crazy as neymars or ronaldiñho, etc. But he is one of the all time greats and with a very unique football style, this guys first touch was the best ever probably. He was so smart as how to touch the ball when it came to him so he can manage the timing of every play. You can see he barely ever loses the ball, every little contact with his chest, foot, thigh, head, shoulder, backheel or whatever is perfect for him to do the next contact or move. Even when he dribbles, every little touch to conduct the ball is simple, but perfect so no defender can touch it, he is always ready to give a pass, score, etc. Thats why he is some of those player who can play slow pace football and dominate anyways. His control is just outstanding. Another player that fits that description is Juan Roman Riquelme. The kind of players whose technique is so good and their football IQ is so high that they can literally play walking. What I was tryng to say is that there are things that dont look too cool at first but but once you understand you can really appreciate them. Remember, football (soccer) is not as espectacular as basket, where u get 20 dunks per game, 20 triples, some blocks each team gets usually over 90 points and even the rules are made for the attackers to flourish. In football is different, is harder to score, and one goal could mean an entire championship (that why it might seem so passionate sometimes). It isnt hard to find 0-0 games and you can tie too. So lot of the entertainment of the sport is the process of a goal even if it doesnt finish in the net, the way they treat the ball is for me the most beautiful part but is hard to understand when u havent played some significant amount of football, the feeling when you properly hit it, or when the ball comes from the air and it feels almost impossible to control and then you watch zidane or bergkamp make a 40 meters ball sleep in one touch is just moving. I hope it doesnt get interpretated as if I were saying something bad about your reactions, of course there are lots of thing you dont know, Im just trying to get you to enjoy it even more, cause it might seem boring at first if you watch an actual game and not only highlights.
Interesting book.
@@joseluisceballos355 no way u read it 🤣
In my opinion the bad thing about being a goalkeeper is that when you do your job, no one notices you unless you do something really sensational and then they notice you for a few minutes. However, when you make a mistake, everyone immediately realizes that you are on the pitch too, and they will remember it later. For a few games you will remain the one who made the mistake.
Noooooo😮😮😮😮😮
You should react to goalkeepers trainings especially that one video of Keylor Navas
Check out Oblak's triple save.
In my case (a shitty goalkeeper that never played at any serious level), boxing has helped a lot. Reflex, arms/legs speed and coordination, maintaining eye contact on target, being used to hard contact… and shoulders just never get tired.
Can goalkeepers dunk? I would guess probably yes, but the skill set they are looking for is actually a different one. The typical goalkeeper is 1,85-1,95m (that would be roughly 6'1"-6'5"), so in basketball sizes a guard - small forward size.
The football goal is 24x8ft in size, so the top is significantly lower than a basketball rim. In the videos it looks smaller than it is when you are standing in front of one in real life. When you are in the real life goal you wonder how you alone can cover so much area. So the goalkeepers main skill is to read the game and anticipate where the shot will most likely be coming, so they position themselves at the correct spot to cover as much of the goal as possible. Being quick on their feet is key for that, and a lot of saves where you feel the player simply shot at the keeper, well ... that is because the keeper had made sure he was in the right spot to begin with, the place the shot was most likely to go to. Of course having quick reflexes and as you mention being willing to put your body on the line are also key skills.
One thing such a highlight video doesn't show is the role of directing the defense the goalkeeper has. Because the whole game is in front of him, the goalkeeper often has a view that the other players don't get, so goalkeepers will yell instructions at their teammates like "cover the space on the right", "watch out number 7 is unguarded", or even when you team has the ball and needs to escape the high pressure from the other team "pass to the right", "give it back to me", etc.
This is a cool video of the drills that goalkeepers do in training: ruclips.net/video/7n51nnJPT6w/видео.html

Damn why he left u hangin at 00:29 I felt that in my soul
oh man that was crazy
watch Mo salah
Ive noticed a lot of basketball fans enjoy football more than other sports fans, dunno what it is.
Rene Higuita was the Ronaldinho of GK's, and Gigi Buffon was the R9 !
Should check out best swerve/curl goals ever....or juninho who is regarded as the best free kick taker off all time
Bro thibaut courtois the Real Madrid goalkeeper is 6’7 6’8 and mostly all goalkeepers nowadays are 6’4.
You guys should react to zlatan savage moments , love the content
you gotta check out "defence is an art"
People get mad at me if I dont save a shot but they dont understand how hard it actually is to play as a gk I wish they knew what it was like
Wow my guy thanks for sharing
The Higuita save is called the "Scorpion Save"
This video focuses on Europe (with the exception of Higuita), and unfortunately, left out one of my top 5, Rogério Ceni.
he's 3rd on my list, and the funny thing is, you have to react to 2 types of videos, the "best defenses," and the "best goals," you've read that right, Ceni is currently the keeper with most goals in history, a little over a 100, the guy had one season he scored over 20 goals, that's a striker's okay season, and his most memorable defense was against Liverpool in 2005 in the club world cup finals, he's a legend.
Goalkeepers are like the quarterback in the NFL
3:38 the ball has to be completely over the line to be a goal :)
if u didnt know, goalies usally wear the number 1
That save is called the Scorpion Kick.
The higuita one was called the scorpion
yall from baltimore?
Yea yea
S/O to the football legend Zanedine Zadine!
