The Qatar World Cup group stage is coming to an end
Despite the fact that there have been many goal battles
But there are also many draws and even white rolls
Among them, the goalkeeper played brilliantly
played a key role
Tunisian goalkeeper Aimon Damen (top) saves during a match on 22 November. Tunisia and Denmark drew 0-0 on the spot.
As of November 30
The trophy of the best player of the tournament in this World Cup
It has been awarded to the goalkeeper four times -
Oweis of Saudi Arabia
Ochoa of Mexico, Shuichi Kwonda of Japan
and Sommer of the Swiss team
That's one more than four years ago when the group stage was all over
Among them are well-known familiar faces
There are also sprung up faces
Two Asian players became
The respective teams beat Argentina and Germany respectively
The protagonist in two "upsets"
In addition to these officially recognized "door gods"
The "last line of defense" for many teams
There is also a performance of divine courage that is a husband and a man
Let's take a look at these "door gods"
What "famous scenes" were created for this World Cup
Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Ovis (left) makes a save against Argentina on November 22.
Let's start with Group A
The Dutch team's 2.03 meter "tall" goalkeeper,
Norpert has long been in the lower leagues
The "debut" of the national team was the World Cup
He is also not disappointed
Stopped opponents from scoring 15 times in the first game
It sets an example for all grassroots players who don't fall behind
Nopert (left) saves in the group stage against Ecuador on November 26.
Mexico's goalkeeper Ochoa needs no more introduction
In 2006 he was named in Mexico's World Cup squad
Eight years ago it was more luxurious striker who hosted Brazil in Brazil
"Pounce" to lose confidence
The first match of the Mexican team in this World Cup
He decisively saved Lewandowski's penalty ↓
Let him add another mark to his record of brave performance every time he competes
Also "pounced" was Lewandowski's teammate Szczesny
Polish goalkeeper who ushered in "another spring" in Qatar
Saved a penalty against Saudi Arabia
A total of 16 saves were made to win
Despite failing to win the best player of the spot
But after the game, it received the support of many fans
Group stage third round
He again rejected Argentine Messi's penalty ↓
Swiss goalkeeper Sommer
This season the Bundesliga has been a heroic one
Now he has brought his good form to Qatar
At international competitions
Defense is crucial to a team's foothold
Has a solid goalkeeper and a "cowhide candy" defensive style
This Swiss team reached the quarter-finals of the last European Championship
Maybe it's worth a good look
On 29 November, Sommer (top) saved the ball in the group stage against Brazil.
"Champions on defense" at the competition
This is especially evident in this edition
After all
Compared to the offensive routine, which has to be practiced for many years
On such a tight encounter as the World Cup
The steadiness of a defender or goalkeeper
It may become the key to victory or defeat
On November 23, Japanese goalkeeper (back) Shuichi Kwon made a save in the group stage against Germany.
Since the Qatar World Cup is at
The interlude of the major European leagues is held
The level of fatigue of the players speaks for itself
Defensive defenses that are used to spare get points
It's more affordable than taking the plunge
This both tests the goalkeeper
It is also one of the reasons why this year's competition is "0:0"
On 26 November, England and the United States drew 0-0 in the group stage.
Of course, we can also see it
Good goalkeepers like Mendy, Neuer, Courtois and so on
The performance in this competition was not convincing
Even low-level mistakes took the team into the abyss
Senegalese goalkeeper Mendy (blue underneath) scrambles during the match on 22 November.
Wales veteran goalkeeper Hennessey
Got the first red card of this tournament
Cameroon goalkeeper Onana suffered after a first-round defeat
Alleged disagreement with the head coach
Did not appear in the squad for the team's second game
On 25 November, Wales goalkeeper Hennessey (pictured No. 1) was shown a red card
As the knockout rounds approach
It is likely that the teams will be more careful in arranging and executing tactics
The role of the defensive line, especially the goalkeeper, will be more pronounced
At that time
The scene where they single-handedly save the whole team
Perhaps it will be repeated
Let's stay tuned for their performance
