During the game, the goalkeeper must face a series of powerful shots from close in. Rather than trying to stop the ball, he deflects it from the goal. To give opposing players less to shoot at, he advances a step in front of his goal line (which cuts down the angle for the thrower) and uses his entire body to block the shot: arms raised to the side, legs apart. The goalkeeper must always be on his toes so that he can react quickly and kick out his leg to deflect the ball.
