One game is enough to destroy a person's confidence and enough to change a person's career.
On that Kiev night 17 months ago, when the Liverpool crowd was ready to go at the Kiev Olympic Stadium, Loris Karius became the laughing stock of the world's spectators more than two hours later.
Those were two huge super low-level mistakes that triggered the butterfly effect - Real Madrid, who had achieved a triple crown, had no desires and began to experience personnel changes, and as for the Liverpool club, which had to respond, it bought The Brazilian international Alisson from Roma for the price of the world's number one goalkeeper at the time (72.5 million euros).
According to The Brazilian International goalkeeper coach Daniel Pavan recalled, as early as the 2009 U-17 World Cup, he heard liverpool's concern for the Brazilian, and after the recommendation of the Reds' veteran Doni, Alisson and Liverpool's love affair was like a fateful love affair.
Last summer, as Alisson prepared to make his debut at Anfield, his predecessor, Loris Karius, reluctantly boarded a flight to Turkey. With an unsurprising ticket and two years of uncertain loan contracts, the German goalkeeper, who played for Manchester City's echelon, welcomed his third career owner.
Looking back over the past 15 months, Karius, who bid farewell to England, firmly occupied the position of the main goalkeeper in Besiktas: in the 2018-19 season, the Turkish Super League played 30 games with 2700 minutes, 6 clean sheets, and the Europa League played 5 games and 450 minutes without a clean sheet; as for this season so far, he played 990 minutes in 11 league games, playing 6 clean sheets early, while the 4 games and 360 minutes of the Europa League also continued to prove his absolute status.
Currently, Besiktas, who have conceded just one goal in the last six rounds (13 in 12 rounds) and have knocked down four consecutive wins, are fifth in the table, just three points away from Top Sivasspor. It is clear that from the individual clean sheet rate (20% to 54.6%) to the team's average goal conceded per game (1.35 to 1.08), the German goalkeeper has played better at Besiktas.
Over the past few months, a segment titled "Shock! You can't believe how fried Karius is now" highlight video, which quickly spread on Youtube until it won 1.429 million super hits.
When the nightmare of the Kiev night is irreparable, Karius is still one of the highs and lows in Turkey. The mistakes of the so-called other goalkeepers will be compared with him, and his own mistakes will be "dug up".
Compared with the ups and downs inside the stadium, Karius has had to deal with the disturbances outside the stadium in the past two years. Hearsay in the Turkish media always associates his name with a "return" or a "buyout." When the rumors were not conclusive, Karius followed Besiktas and attacked higher rankings.
Goalkeeper, this position is about loneliness, forbearance and fate. No outsider knows exactly what Karius has been through in the last two years – perhaps, only by witnessing the mutual encouragement of the two goalkeepers before the penalty shootout, Begovich's refusal to celebrate and apologize to Boruts after a long-range goal, and Robert Enke's mental journey in "The Death of a Goalkeeper", you can roughly imagine that these heroes standing in front of the goal line are experiencing an indescribable ordeal in every minute of their careers.
In this era of entertainment to death, playing a few less "hahaha" limited to ridicule and ridicule is also a goodwill worthy of being cherished.
