You can not play a high line with possession without a goalkeeper that is good with his feet. That is the most important thing that is needed. With such a keeper, you get fewer shots and require fewer saves.

TheGoodJoe:
This is an outdated discussion. Would have added up if you were arguing this five years ago.

Why do you think Manchester City got Ederson? Why do you think Manuel Neuer was nominated for Ballon D'or. Why do you think Chelsea spent humongous sum on Arizabalaga?

It is because first, these guys are brilliant with their feet

1994. And that one last till Rohr era. We go soon resurrect. We are like a Phoenix

Wc one bro?



A midfield dt can hold d ball and transit quickly to d forwards,bro ,we never get midfield. Aside a rejuvenated iwobi ,who else do we have in d midfield

A stagnant ndidi dt refuse to grow in his style of play

Who again? D BrentFord guy? Not yet proven club Brugge guy? Bro , we neva get midfield

charlesemeka85:
imagine a 35 years old amrabat outplaying the trio of Barca’s pedri,gavi and busquet in midfield

TheGoodJoe:
What you are missing is growth. With time, they will sort turning their insane amount of possession to insane chances created.

Mujtahida:
This is an upside down logic and I do not need any sort of evidence to know that these goalkeepers were not bought for the FIRST reason that they are good with their feet.

AndSunGorilla:
The commentator am listening to, na craze man. He said 'the grand daddy of them all has gotten a goal!!!!, "Pepe old enough to be the father of first goal scorer". Is it a crime to be grow old?

daveP:
what you're missing out is Asian and African opponents have hacked it totally. If they don't restructure, beating Spain will be a normal for both continents. Ba World Cup not League.

komekn:
It's quite possible the NFF may have invested more onto football ⚽ than the Moroccan FA.

However, that investment in Nigeria usually ends up in the deep pockets of individuals. That's the difference in addition service to the NFF is seen as a tool for self enrichment.

Let me get this straight. A very successful team looks at a goalkeeper first because they are good with their feet and not because they are really good with their hands? Being good with your feet separates you from other goalkeepers who are equally (close enough that you can go either way) very proficient in the majority of traditional goalkeeping skills. You must first belong to the category of goalkeepers who are the most competent on duty.
The question is not about what you can do with your feet. I am sure many of us appreciate the bonus of a goalkeeper being good with his feet.
No be by force to play high line.
Maybe na just me, but you seem to be throwing the word 'most important', 'first' around too much. Maybe you just like those phrases/words.

The problem isn't the style of play. Possession football is one of the beautiful brands of football out there. I personally see it as the most beautiful. It totally epitomizes what team work should stand for and Football is a team sport after all.


The problem lies in not having the right kind of players to suit the system. There's no Xavi and Iniesta to organize things and lob those dangerous balls into the box. There's no De Bruyne to make those crosses from the half space to the far post. There's no Fabregas to roam around the 'D' (arc) of the opponent's box. There's no Messi-Jordi Alba relationship and understanding.

Today, Enrique started Llorente as a RB when there's an Azpilicueta who despite his old age, still has it in him to deliver dangerous crosses into the box. Rodri has been playing as a Centre Back in order to accommodate Busquets as a DM. Morata has been on fire in this world cup but was benched for Asensio. Gavi and Pedri are great but they're no Xavi and Iniesta.


If you want to play possession football, you need the right players. There's a reason Guardiola has spent more than a billion acquiring players.

TheGoodJoe:

They have not hacked anything. It is just a basic park bus win. It is normal and has been done for long. Roberto Di Matteo used a park bus system to beat Guardiola's barcelona. Did that mean they have hacked the system.

If they play ten times, Spain will win more. If Spain scored an early goal, Morocco won't have it easy to go past them.

Finito.

Ppogbae:
Honestly. The tactic should've been buried after their ouster from Group stage at the 2014 World Cup.

Mujtahida:
All that build from the back is nonsense. Pass ball or kick it into the air. GKs have been doing either of these two for ages. Now if the emphasis is on passing it to a player in your own half, pass it and mind your post.

If you read attentively, you will know that Buffon is actually saying exactly what I posted.

Buffon is complaining about keepers who are better (better reflexes) being dropped for what he sees as weaker keepers because they are better with the feet.

That is exactly what I am saying. The feet are more important to modern-day football.

Then Buffon himself acknowledged that he has always been good with his feet. Why his why he could fit into the modern game.

"Today there is this great – in my opinion, exaggerated – focus on how keepers play the ball with their feet; how they need to pass and move with their other team-mates. I myself, ever since I was a kid, was an atypical goalkeeper. I often had this role of being a 'libero', playing with my feet a lot. At times, honestly, I did it in an excessive way. Despite that, I MAINTAIN ONE THING: if you lose that true attention, that sincere focus on being a good goalkeeper – which means stopping shots, knowing how to come out for a high ball, understanding how you approach a low ball as you come off your line – then, for me, YOU’RE BEING ASKED TO TOTALLY GO AGAINST YOUR NATURAL ROLE"

...If you ask me, I would say that every great team – or at least the teams that have won – has always had a great keeper WHO KNOWS HOW TO MAKE SAVES FIRST OF ALL. After that, if they can do things with their feet then sure, that is even better."

Your problem is that when you enter argument mode [which you're always in anyway] you choose not to see anything aside any point you're making

How did you see all the cap you typed in this simple submission


Despite playing with my feet, I maintain ONE not two things.

And that thing is the NATURAL ROLE

Teams that win ALWAYS have a great keeper who knows how to makes saves first of all

All i see are lots of if if if and if.

The reality before us is better than if. Nice one there for undermining big wins that were well fought for and rightly won without a scent of favourtism or ojoro. Nice one o.

Spain win-its normal
Opponent win spain-basic park bus system.
