Mujtahida:
Is this the evidence? Haaa, I thought you were going to produce a statement from the club or the coach saying that Ederson was bought firstly because he is good with his feet. Haba, this is a YouTube compilation which even you can do na.

Mujtahida:
Buffon himself contradicts your point. Yes you are right in seeing his reference to the fact that coaches these days desire keepers who play with their feet, I think the reason why odunayaw posted that excerpt is to show that Buffon disagrees with the trend.

Danielnino00:
Lemme get something straight...If you were a coach in this era, and you wanted to pick a goalkeeper for your team, the first thing you would consider is the goalkeeper's qualities with his feet rather than his hands?

TheGoodJoe:

Na wa. These are the fathers of the possession game. A hint of Pellegrini while at Villareal.

That means you did not know Amaju , when he was commissioner and defacto chairman of Warri Wolves.

He was always an opportunistic politician anchored on local politics and tribal sentiment. He pathway to fame allegiance to Dynasty of Ibori extended to inept Uduaghan.

How did he become NFF President remember what happened at Warri and the pay off to the delegate's sponsored by who ❓

Your probably not from Delta state and don't know therefore the permutations of our politics.

komekn:
Oh yes with the maestro Nwakali and a limited ball passer DM in Ndidi.

We can be pessimistic and even optimistic but let's leave emotions and be REALISTIC.

TheGoodJoe:
The point is that today, modern top teams prefer coaches that are good with their feet. It is what they look out for first. Your post does not disagree with that fact. Buffon is saying he does not agree with it but that is the modern way of top coaches.

Finito.

Odunayaw:
If I ask for your modern top teams now or the coaches you'd only mention Pep and Enrique

Ancelotti+ Courtouis
Tuchel + Arrizabalaga/Mendy

Top coaches that have won major things. And their keepers are revered for their hands.

"Modern" doesn't revolve around your Pep and his peeps

Great. That's precisely the answer I expected. Now did Wenger and Pelligrini play tiki taka?

'KEPA ARRIZABALAGA IS AS GOOD AS ANYONE WITH THE BALL AT HIS FEET' - JOE COLE ON CHELSEA GOALKEEPER

https://www.eurosport.com/football/champions-league/2022-2023/kepa-arrizabalaga-is-as-good-as-anyone-with-the-ball-at-his-feet-joe-cole-on-chelsea-goalkeeper_sto9202097/story.shtml

One of the reasons Chelsea signed Kepa is because of how good he is with his feet.

Start watching this more.

Odunayaw:
Let's believe you didn't pull this out of thin air. It makes it clearer why Chelsea had to run to get Mendy


And Cole's talk is 4years late

TheGoodJoe:
Most coaches today are adapting to the modern game. It is literally becoming impossible to find top teams without them.

Let me help you with EPL.

Guardiola
Arteta
Tuchel recently
Graham Potter
Emery
Eddie Howe

So, it is beyond Pep and Enrique.

TheGoodJoe:

"Kepa has an ability to trap the ball rather than clear it first-time, at the risk of losing possession," Iturriaga said.

"He has great quality with his feet, especially with his right foot, which will be very important for [Chelsea manager] Maurizio Sarri's style of play, which is based on possession of the football, with the goalkeeper starting attacks.

"Kepa is very precise with the ball. He can often jump the first line of an opposition team's forwards and send the ball to the wing-backs or Jorginho, who will probably be a key man in the centre of Chelsea's midfield.

ChrisKels:
So no one rates Ndidi anymore? So Idenna aka Omanbala1 wasn't wrong after all?

TheGoodJoe:

Just say now you know. Even Mendy is good with his feet.

Odunayaw:
Anyone who doesn't rate Ndidi is an unrealistic SE fan.

The blame rests solely on our Coaches and their demonic midfield combinations

If Ndidi was from another country, he'd be celebrated and his type would have been wished for in SE

Truth be told, Ndidi's ball playing needs improvement.

charlesemeka85:
the time you all understand that ndidi is an out and out dm/destroyer is the time you stop expecting defense splitting passes or magic from him

Ndidi is a destroyer who shields the back four as well as cover a lot of grounds. He is no deep lying playmaker for Christ sake

He does what he is good at perfectly well for the national team which is screen the back four which is his primary responsibility on the pitch


No be the same ball playing ability wey gavi,pedri and busquet get na wey amrabat collect midfield from their hand?

TheGoodJoe:

The current leader of the English Premier League table is Arsenal, coached by a Barcelona academy graduate and former assistant coach of Guardiola.

Second on the table is Manchester City coached by former Barcelona academy graduate and promoter of the Heavy possession philosophy.

So, how can you say the system is nullified?
