Chance for a goal
Many players just love to place the ball right at the upper corner of the
goal, but I have found out, that the players do not think about the chances
for a goal with these shots.
If we take out the goalkeepers ability
to take high and low shots and instead look at the chance for a goal, you
might look at it in this way:
A high shot may:
- be inside
the goal frame = chance for a goal
- pass over the goal frame = no
chance for a goal
- pass the outside of the goal = no chance for a
goal
A low shot may:
- hit inside the goal frame = chance
for a goal
- hit the floor and bounce into the goal frame = chance
for a goal
- pass the outside of the goal = no chance for a goal
This mean that you have an extra chance for goal if you shoot low. In
stead of passing over the goal frame, a low shot may pass "under the
goal frame" and still give a chance for a goal.
Worth giving a
thought.
