Goalkeeper Hong Son explains why Van Lam is standing off goal?

According to goalkeeper Duong Hong Son, Iraq's free kick was too dangerous so goalkeeper Dang Van Lam cannot be blamed. The former national team player analyzed: "Iraq's free kick was too good. As for standing in the wall, it depends on the height of the defenders and the goalkeeper.

I say this to explain the question of why goalkeepers do not stand in the middle of the goal during free kicks. The goalkeeper chooses the angle depending on his height and the point of the free kick. If the goalkeeper is tall, he will stand 3-7″ from the goal, if he is not tall, he will stand 4-6″.

"I don't think there's anything to blame Dang Van Lam for. The other team's kick was very tricky" - the champion and best goalkeeper of the 2008 AFF Cup said.

He said: "At the beginning of the match, Iraq somewhat underestimated us, that's how they entered the game. Then, when Vietnam scored, Iraq pushed up to play in the second half."

Commenting on the match in general, the former goalkeeper from Nghe An said that there was nothing to criticize about the Vietnamese team after their performance against Iraq, and goalkeeper Dang Van Lam made no mistakes in all 3 goals conceded against Iraq.

Remember that the Vietnamese team played very well against Iraq in the first half when they took the lead twice. Cong Phuong played extremely well when he contributed greatly to 2 goals, including the goal in the 42nd minute. However, the difference in skill level and physical strength helped Iraq come back to win 3-2.

"Agreeing with Duong Hong Son, goalkeeper Nguyen The Anh said: "When faced with penalty situations outside the 16m50 box, goalkeepers all choose 3-7, 4-6, even 4-5 or 5-5 depending on the distance of the ball from the goal.

Usually there is always a fence protecting the goal, which limits the goalkeeper's vision. So to block a set piece situation, in addition to choosing a good standing position, the goalkeeper must observe the moment when the opponent contacts the ball to judge the trajectory of the ball, which is very important.

In Van Lam's case yesterday, I think he stood 4-6 (the opponent will have more difficulty choosing the angle to kick) would be better than the 3-7 he chose. With that trajectory, it would be difficult for any goalkeeper to block, let alone Van Lam.

I watched Van Lam play from the AFF Cup and the match against Iraq, so I would like to give Van Lam a small suggestion that he has the advantage in terms of physique, so he should be more active in the 16m50 box, especially when the opponent crosses from the two wings. That will help Vietnam's defense a lot when having to defend against opponents who are physically superior"./.
