Chapter 319 The goalkeeper who affects the rules of football

After listening to Mourinho's introduction of the goalkeeper's development history, the young Cech stood behind the coach, and began to digest the "lessons" that the coach had instilled in his brain.And turn quickly, thinking about the meaning of Mourinho's words.

Before Cech figured it out, Mourinho asked again.

"Peter, I have said so much, do you think the goalkeeper is important?"

"Of course it's important! Mr. Jose!" Cech replied immediately, "The goalkeeper is the only player on the field who can use his hands. His contribution in defense is unmatched by any other player."

"That's right!" Mourinho snapped his fingers, "But is that all?"

Are these only?
Cech was a little unresponsive.

Isn't the goalkeeper's bounden duty to keep the goal?

Can't you just guard the door?What else?

Looking at Cech who was lost in thought, Mourinho reminded, "Peter, if you were Tom, how do you think he would answer?"

Tom?

Cech immediately had a goalkeeper with six fingers on his left hand.

These days, Tang Wu and Liverpool have once again been rumored by the British media.

欧冠八分之一决赛，曼联0比1输给AC米兰，阿森纳1比3输给拜仁慕尼黑，切尔西1比2输给巴塞罗那。四支英超球队，就只有利物浦以3比0的比分赢了勒沃库森。

Even so, Ronaldinho still said in an interview after the game: ".In my opinion, although the Premier League teams are very strong, there will be no Premier League teams in this Champions League to enter the semi-finals."

This is a bit more blunt: I admit that you all have a level, but in my eyes, everyone in the Premier League here is rubbish!
Perhaps this is just a joke by Ronaldinho, but it is undeniable that Ronaldinho is indeed a player who is qualified to say such words.

In this way, as the only Premier League winner in the quarter-finals, Tang Wu was once again on the "hot search" with Liverpool.

"Tom?" Cech smacked his lips, recalling Tang Wu's past.

"Mr. Jose, do you mean that a goalkeeper still needs to make contributions on the offensive end?" Petr Cech tentatively asked, but in his heart, he still disagreed with this point.

"No, Peter, you didn't understand me." Mourinho shook his head.

Picking up the book on the table and turning to a certain page, pointing to the image of the character in the book, he said to Cech: "Peter, do you know this person?"

"This person?" Cech looked at the name under the image of the character, and translated awkwardly: "Ge Gu Ye"

"It's Goyechea!" Mourinho corrected, "He is also a goalkeeper like you."

Of course Cech could see it.

Wearing long trousers and goalkeeper uniform, and wearing goalkeeper gloves on his hands, it would be useless if he couldn't recognize his position.

"Goyechea, Argentine goalkeeper, a very lucky goalkeeper!"

"Lucky?" Cech had some doubts.

Goalkeepers are the most realistic.

Although he wholeheartedly looks forward to the arrival of "luck", he is very clear at critical moments that everything can only depend on himself.

"Yes, he is the lucky darling!" Mourinho laughed.

"Before the 1990 World Cup in Italy, he was the third goalkeeper for the Argentine national team."

"However, due to the sudden illness of the No. [-] goalkeeper Pompido, the No. [-] goalkeeper Isla turned against the team coach Bilardo. Goyechea became the first No. [-] goalkeeper in the history of the World Cup to counterattack."

"Oh! That's really lucky!" Cech sighed sincerely.

As the main goalkeeper of the Czech Republic, he is very aware of how miserable the two colleagues who competed with him for the position are.

"And the Argentine coach Bilardo was notoriously utilitarian at the time, and he never cared whether the scene was good or not."

"In the case of a super combination like Maradona and Caniggia, he still carried out his iron barrel formation to the end."

"This made all the powerhouses complain. Yugoslavia and Italy were dragged into the penalty shootout by the Argentine team successively, and they suffered a lot from Goyechea. The Argentine goalkeeper in the two rounds of penalty shootouts, He actually saved as many as 4 penalty kicks, and what is even more incredible is that he actually judged the direction of the penalty kick in most of the saves."

"In the final against Germany, Argentina repeated the old tricks and set up an iron barrel formation from the first minute of the game. If it weren't for the German team's chance to get a penalty kick before the end, I'm afraid most of them will repeat the same situation as Yugoslavia. Same thing with Italy."

"What's interesting is that Matthaus, who took the penalty kick at that time, refused the opportunity to go down in history and let Bremer take the penalty."

"Although Bremer finally scored a penalty kick, Goyechea still made a throw in the right direction, and it was only a hair's breadth away from making a successful save!"

After Mourinho finished speaking, he picked up the boiling water on the table and took a sip.

"My God, he is really lucky!" Cech sighed.

"But Goyechea showed us not only luck, but also his influence, you understand?"

"Influence?"

"That's right! He has developed a new tactical style of play, which is very suitable for cup games!" Mourinho spread his hands, "Goyechea is mediocre in terms of stature, reaction and technique. But he saves penalty kicks very well. In this way, the team only needs to drag the game into a penalty shootout and give full play to his strengths!"

"My God, that's true!" Cech finally understood what Mourinho had meant.

Everyone understands that the difficulty of operating a large iron barrel array is undoubtedly much easier than the subtle offensive tactics.

"And it's very interesting that there is a rule that is very suitable for goalkeepers at this time!" Mourinho turned the book, revealing a new page of characters.

"Schumeichel!" Cech recognized the legendary goalkeeper from Danish fairy tales at a glance.

"That's right, he is Schmeichel!" Mourinho proudly said, "He and the Danish team have caused FIFA to suffer a lot!"

In the European Cup in 92, the Danish team, which barely qualified for the competition as a substitute, rushed to the penalty shootout from the very beginning of the game.

All Danish games are full of drowsy back passes. Even the Dutch team in its heyday had no choice but to be dragged into a penalty shootout against such an opponent.

It was Schmeichel who blocked Van Basten's shot in the penalty shootout, which allowed Denmark to successfully eliminate the flourishing Netherlands, and staged a performance that is still talked about by the world in the next final Danish mythology.

The Danish team relied on the "goalkeeper to return the pass" rule to delay the time.

Whether they are in the lead, or they are aiming for a draw or even a penalty shootout from the beginning of the game, everyone in Denmark unanimously resorted to the "pass back method".

Once the opponent presses wildly, the goalkeeper will hold the ball back with his hands, leaving the opponent's players only to breathe heavily.

As long as you have a little knowledge of football, it should not be difficult to imagine how difficult it is to complete a steal in the frontcourt under the general environment where the goalkeeper can return the pass with his hands.

Goyechea and Schmeichel have excelled successively. Although it is the glory of the goalkeeper, it may not be a good thing for the sport of football.After all, for the vast majority of fans, the game is full of return passes for a long time, which is really not much to watch.In the long run, it will only gradually drive fans out of the stadium.

So FIFA finally couldn't help it, and introduced new rules after the European Cup, prohibiting goalkeepers from directly returning the pass from their teammates with their hands.

This rule has greatly improved the enjoyment of football, but it is undoubtedly subversive for the goalkeeper position.

At that time, many old goalkeepers couldn't change their habits of more than a few years, and they were eliminated by the times.And even if you react, so what?Without the corresponding foot skills, it is a luxury for many goalkeepers to even open their feet normally.

"I know, I was only 10 years old at the time." Cech recalled, "Fortunately, I didn't have the habit of catching the ball back from my teammates with my hands."

"So, a magical goalkeeper can not only change the tactics of a team, but even the rules of the football game. What do you think, Peter?"

"Mr. Jose, you are right!" Cech nodded.

Looking at the obedient Cech, Mourinho sighed. "Peter, I have a hunch that the era of goalkeeper reform is coming again. So from tomorrow, you will do the same physical training with other outfield players. Not only that, after the professional technical training, you have to practice your footwork and long-term skills. Chuan, do you understand?"

Seeing Mourinho with a serious face, Cech didn't mind the "extra training" given by the coach, but immediately stood at attention and replied: "No problem, Mr. Jose!"
