[quote=Anonymous]An interesting article regarding smaller v taller goalkeepers.  It may well surprise some.  For those who want to immediately dismiss it outright before reading it.  Here is the are the last two paragraphs.

"However if we ask Pep Guardiola on his signing of 185cm goalkeeper Stefan Ortega he states he leaves it to the goalkeeper coach “No. It’s the keepers’ department.” “I am not an expert in goalkeepers, that’s why we have a trainer for that”.

Yes, Pep Guardiola, the most successful coach in premier league history considers himself not to be an expert in goalkeeping. (Just read that again if you wish) If Guardiola claims not to be are you? Perhaps you can join the elite coaches as well by putting aside the preconceived misconceptions of goalkeeping height and identify a future champions league and world cup winning goalkeeper right there in your youth team who is not quite yet filling the shirt?"
