Several months ago, Thiago Motta, the then coach of the Paris Saint Germain youth team, announced that he wanted to revolutionize the goalkeeper position. He believed that in the build-up phase, the goalkeeper should boldly go out in front of the penalty area and act as a stopwatch to help with. Nobody in serious football has decided to take such a radical step yet, but the role of a goalkeeper is changing. There are more and more followers of Manuel Neuer who redefined the modern goalkeeper. According to “La Gazzetta dello Sport”, the group of modern goalkeepers includes: Ederson, Mark-Andre ter Stegen, Alisson, Pepe Reina and Claudio Bravo. The Italian daily believes that Wojciech Szczęsny is also more and more boldly going beyond the penalty area and trying to be active when playing.

Pirlo gave Szczesny new guidelines
“LGdS” refers to the Sunday match with Roma (2: 2), where the Pole was practically in line with the Juve defenders in many situations. – Szczęsny was given a new position by Andrea Pirlo. He is to play a role similar to that of a goalkeeper in the six-player version of football, where the goalkeeper is actively playing. Pirlo asked the Pole to leave the penalty area and have the ball near his leg, even 20-25 meters from the goal. Even when opponents are close. This is the evolution of football. If you want to be among the best, you have to take risks – we read.
The Italians also pay attention to the fact that when Szczęsny was playing the ball, Leo Bonucci, the Juve stopper, was backing up behind the Pole to secure him. In Serie A, 33-year-old Andrea Consigli from Sassuolo is an example of a goalkeeper who sometimes tries to play like Neuer.
