Did you try the quiz? Did you figure out it was a trick question? Of course all of the moments listed are high concentration. If you are looking for some ideas on how you can help your goalkeepers, I’ve curated a simple corner kick defending plan. It’s the one I’ve been using since high school. I’m a shorter goalkeeper, so having a line of 3 defenders on my 6 have been my personal preference. I’d rather stop the shot than try to catch a corner cross on the 6 or further.
