Goalkeepers are the most underrated players in the team because they pick up one save after another. They even multiply the value by keeping a clean sheet. But some legendary Goalkeepers break this trend and make the goalposts bend to their will, not the other way around. Below is a list of the best Goalkeeper players attending Qatar in 2022.
Thibaut Courtois – Belgium
Thibaut Courtois has been an integral part of the Real Madrid team since he joined them in 2018. Under him, Real Madrid won La Liga and the Champions League in 2022. He also won the Yashin Trophy for best goalkeeper in the world in 2022.
Courtois is considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world today. He is known for his agility and reflexes, which allow him to make amazing saves even from close-range shots.
His performances have been stellar, and he will be a crucial player for Belgium as they try to win their first World Cup title this year.
Manuel Neuer – Germany
Manuel Neuer is arguably the greatest goalkeeper in the world. He has been a starter for Bayern Munich since 2008 and was part of their 2020 Champions League-winning side.
Neuer’s strengths are his height at 6’1”, and his ability to make saves that most goalkeepers would not even attempt to make. He has good reflexes and can react quickly when shots are taken on goal.
His positioning is also very good, as he knows where his defenders are positioned and try to keep them covered at all times. Therefore, they do not have any trouble getting the ball from him when needed by their teammates on offence or defence, respectively.
Alisson Becker – Liverpool
Alisson Becker is a completely modern goalkeeper. At 6’4 and 196 pounds, he doesn’t have the height of a traditional goalkeeper, but he makes up for it with his athleticism and ability to read the game.
He has great reflexes and excellent footwork, which allow him to make difficult saves look simple. Becker is also very good with his feet; he can play the ball out of the back and distribute it quickly to start an attack.
Yann Sommer – Switzerland
Switzerland’s Yann Sommer is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and he will be crucial to Switzerland’s chances at the 2022 World Cup. He has been a mainstay for his club, Borussia Mönchengladbach, since 2011 and has been part of Switzerland’s national team since 2008.
He has experience playing in the Champions League and Europa League, as well as in international tournaments like FIFA World Cup 2018 qualifying games.
Jose Sa – Portugal
Jose Sa, the current number one in Portugal, is the best keeper in the world. He is a good shot-stopper and has good distribution skills. His performance in the World Cup 2022 will be crucial to his team.
He is known for his reflexes and shot-stopping ability, allowing him to make some impressive saves. He also has very good distribution skills, which allow him to start counterattacks after stopping shots at the goal.
