Yep, I find it especially hard when the player is up close. In this manga though, they're making us goalkeepers look like decorations for their over the top (undeniably fun to look at) goals.
being a goalkeeper is hard in general, and like shalzott said, it is harder when the opponent is up close. everyone in bluelock is a striker so being a position you normally aren't assigned to is even harder.
Preachhh, and yes indeed, that's another point, they're all forced into positions they normally wouldn't play, either they themselves or by Ego
I dont play soccer or football or whatever that game is called but, is catching the ball so hard for the goalkeeper?
