Very comfortable in possession but zipping the ball around with end product. Absolute joy to watch.Very in-Italy like…high pressing and high intensity.

I've said it for years. England aren't comfortable being patient. That's why they struggle against quality teams who can hold onto the ball.I wish England would play with this type of zip. Beautiful goal. A wonderful simplicity but so precise.
hat. Italy look scary good. Best I've seen so far

Tonight Italy are doing what Spain did the other night but with pace and purpose.
Didn’t watch this game but Sommer is one of the better keepers in the Bundesliga.The Swiss keeper needs to stop bouncing when Italy shoot.
Both feet off the floor as the player shoots gove him no chance of making a save for goals 2 and 3.
Small error in his basic technique, has massive consequences.

You're right, I think most keepers do it to help them spring, but obviously it's all about the timing. A fraction late and the ball is past you before you're even set.It's a similar thing to what Da Gea does. A little bounce into a wide A frame stance, then a negative step with the lead foot before pushing off. Takes an extra second to get set and push off towards the ball. This tiny thing makes a huge difference in getting to the ball and making a save or not.

The Bruce Grobbelaar wobbly knees school of goal keepingIndeed. It doesn't really help at all. Its something that crept in to goalkeeping a few years ago, and many coaches are trying to coach it out.
That was a completely different level of bouncing around. ?The Bruce Grobbelaar school of goal keeping

Might be the plyometric sessions everybody is doing these days?Indeed. It doesn't really help at all. Its something that crept in to goalkeeping a few years ago, and many coaches are trying to coach it out.
