The goalkeeper is the most important figure in the game of football. The actions of the goalkeepers often attract attention on the field. All of that can not be separated from their greatness in keeping the goal so as not to concede many goals.

However, in the current era, goalkeepers are not only required to be able to block the opponent’s kicks, they are also required to have many advantages. Here are five goalkeepers who have multiple skills.

1. Manuel Neuer
Manuel Neuer is a great goalkeeper whose form has been very consistent in the last decade. This German goalkeeper is known to have great skills in processing the ball. Not infrequently he dribbles like a great striker.

Thanks to his extraordinary vision of the game, it is not surprising that Neuer has managed to create several assists throughout his career. So far the 35 – year – old goalkeeper has recorded 6 assists . One of his assists came when Germany played England in the 2010 World Cup.

 

2. Alisson Becker
Alisson Becker’s quality as a goalkeeper is certainly undisputed. The proof, he has successfully presented four prestigious trophies for Liverpool, including the Champions League and Premier League titles. In addition to being reliable in goalkeeping, Alisson has also scored goals in the Premier League competition.

The incident occurred on May 16 when Liverpool faced West Bromwich Albion and the Brazilian goalkeeper scored with a header in the 95th minute to help the Reds win 2-1. That record made Alisson the first Liverpool goalkeeper to score in an official match.

 

3. Marc-Andre ter Stegen
Marc-Andre ter Stegen is another goalkeeper who has many advantages. This German goalkeeper has proven his quality by leading Barcelona to several titles. The demand to play more balls makes him have very high confidence.

In addition to being good at dispelling the attacks of opponents, ter Stegen has also created assists . He has recorded 2 assists while defending Barcelona. The first time the goalkeeper did was when he fed Luis Suarez against Getafe on 28 September 2019. Stegen repeated the feat three months later when he fed Antoine Griezmann to score in a 5-2 win over Mallorca in December 2019.

 

4. Ederson Moraes
Ederson Moraes’ role has not been replaced at Manchester City so far. He is not only great at securing opponent’s shots, the Brazilian goalkeeper is also a big influence in building the game from the back.

His passes often fall directly behind the opponent’s defense line which overwhelms the enemy defenders. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ederson plays an important role for The Citizens every season.

5. Keylor Navas
Keylor Navas is not young anymore. However, he still looks special with Paris Saint-Germain at this time. In fact, the 34-year-old managed to make a quality young goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, a backup at PSG.

Navas is known as a goalkeeper who is calm and confident in possession of the ball. His passes were almost always spot on and he made very few mistakes. In addition to being good at flowing the ball, Navas has also created assists.
