Football is very much a team effort, with each of the 11 players playing a different role. From the goalkeeper to defence, midfield and forward, the team adheres to one tactical system that is applied by the head coach for each game. Among the 11 players in a soccer team, the goal scorer is arguably, the most important member as points can only be won if a goal is scored. That being said, the entire team’s performance is greatly affected by the quality of play of each individual player. A good goal keeper is only as good as the last line of defence in front. If the centre-backs are cohesive and positionally excellent, a goalie’s job is always much easier than a disorganized defence line. At the same time, a top quality goalie always instills great confidence to the entire team. Though the chance of a goalie getting injured is rather slim, it is always a prime concern to the coach whenever the goalie gets injured seriously. Top Norwegian goalkeeper Christensen recently found herself in the unenviable position of twisting her ankle which ended her day!
