Comments on: David Beckham Goal Vs. Sydney FC: What’s a Goalkeeper To Do? http://keeper-skool.com/david-beckham-goal-vs-sydney-fc-whats-a-goalkeeper-to-do Goalkeeper Soccer Training Blog Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:35:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Coach http://keeper-skool.com/david-beckham-goal-vs-sydney-fc-whats-a-goalkeeper-to-do/comment-page-1#comment-374 Coach Fri, 07 Dec 2007 06:30:40 +0000 http://keeper-skool.com.customers.tigertech.net/wp/?p=515#comment-374 Becks kick is decent. However, if you look at the angle from behind Beckham and straight on at Bolton, just as the kick is taken, Clint shifts his body weight slightly to his left almost anticipating the shot to the left. His feet have come too far apart for him to get a good solid step to the right and drive into the lift needed to cover the shot. If he does not transfer his weight to the left, possibly in anticipation for the shot to the left side, he has good balance and drive to get more of a lift and hand behind the ball to deflect out to the side or over the goal. <br/><br/>He definately has enough power and does great to retransfer his weight to his right leg to get him in the air and get a hand on the ball. <br/><br/>But, that's the problem when facing Beckham's kicks, He can place them at will. I wonder if Clinton had been watching tapes and thinking about where Beckham tends to drive his shots.<br/> Becks kick is decent.

He definately has enough power and does great to retransfer his weight to his right leg to get him in the air and get a hand on the ball.

But, that’s the problem when facing Beckham’s kicks, He can place them at will. I wonder if Clinton had been watching tapes and thinking about where Beckham tends to drive his shots.

Was always going to be about Beckham, but from what i saw Sydney played a fantastic game, and well the score line did prove that in the end!<br/><br/>About the Beckham free kick... Beck's blockers did their job... blocked the view but ultimately made sure the free kick made it past the wall... If the number 10, Donavon from memory, hadnt pushed the Sydney player to the left, the wall might have just stopped the shot from even learing the wall!! I would say Bolton just a touch on it...

He put his hands up, suggesting he couldn't see anything, and then Beckham kicked it and he had to instantly react, which he did very well. And also, Beckham put too blockers at the end of the wall, to aid the lack of view Bolton had. I would've rated it a better kick if he didn't do that.<br/><br/>Bolton would have saved it if he didn't, because he got a lovely touch on it without all the rest of the mishaps. Definately the best keeper in the A-League. Apparently, Bolton wasn’t even ready for the kick.
