Huge well done to Lily for winning the Trainer of the Week this week for some great handling, brilliant saves and some good passing shown too 👏🏻
🚨 "Being a good person is like being a goalkeeper. No matter how many goals you save, some people will only remember the one you missed."
🗣️ Pep Guardiola : "I would say the 'keeper is the most important player on the team, more than a striker, the 'keeper is fundamental."
🗣️ Ter Stegen: "People from outside don't know how difficult it is to be a Goalkeeper."
🗣️ Gianluigi Buffon : "In the end, you need to be a little ma*****stic to be a goalkeeper. A ma*****st and egocentric as well."
🗣️ Peter Shilton : "As a goalkeeper, you need to be good at organizing the people in front of you and motivate them. Just like a good manager in the business."
🗣️Brad Friedel : "For a goalkeeper, there is no hiding place."
🗣️ Eduardo Chillida : "The qualities of a good goalkeeper are exactly the same as a good sculptor. In both professions, one should have a good relationship with time and space."
🗣️ Steve Carell : "Goalies rarely get credit for winning a game, but they always get blamed for losing a game."
🗣️ Ian Rush : "It's best being a striker. If you miss five, then score the winner, you're a hero. The goalkeeper can play a blinder, later, let one in and he's a villain."
🗣️ Gary Speed : "Everybody makes mistakes, but when goalkeepers make them, it is costly. That's the nature of being a goalkeeper."
🗣️ Kevin Keegan : "You can't become a good goalkeeper without being mature."
