In soccer, those who play the role of goalkeeper must have particular physical and aptitude characteristics. First of all, that of the goalkeeper is the most particular and delicate role in soccer, his task is simple but at the same time very difficult: he must not let the ball go into the goal beyond the white line.

The goalkeeper is the last player to defend the goal, the only one of the eleven on the field who can use his hands, he must have concentration, calm and great balance to be able to manage his position and that of his teammates in defense for 90 minutes. Usually the goalkeeper wears gloves to make it easier to get on the ball, he wears the number 1 jersey and is tall but not necessarily a giant, this is because between the posts it is essential to be agile, fast and equipped with a great instinct. In fact, his mistake can be fatal and determine the outcome of the game. So here is that, in addition to skill, personality becomes a decisive skill for those who play this role

.

In modern soccer, the goalkeeper must also know how to use his feet well not only for referrals from the back of the field and today his position is increasingly higher close to the defensive department. At the athletic level, the goalkeeper is undoubtedly a sophisticated role that requires speed and quick reflexes, which is why he needs a different preparation from the rest of

the team.
