Goalkeepers Matter
I’m excited about this one because the main player in this analysis is a goalkeeper.
And not just any goalkeeper. I know him as a player.
I played against him back when he was working his way up through the ranks—first in Serie A, and now at Caldes.
His name? Arnau Martínez.
And at just 23 years old, he’s already proving himself among the best keepers in the OkLiga.
What we are going to see it is not something random that he decided to do,
no
no
not at all. It something that needs training, individual work from Arnau and the whole team work.
You wont regret, just real hockey
Reus’ Lateral Play
Reus plays smartly, focusing their attacks down the sides.
They try to create 2v2 situations on the strong side, forcing defenders to react quickly.
But here’s the issue:
- Young Reus players start playing on instinct rather than reading the game.
- Carles Casas (Reus Nº27) passes and cuts straight to the middle.
- Ferran (Reus Nº3) plays a pass “by memory”—without checking if his teammate is actually ready.
What happens next?
The ball rolls away towards position 7, completely uncontrolled.
Arnau’s Big Play
And here comes Arnau Martínez.
