@FootynewsIt is wild how the goalkeeper position remains the most cruel role in soccer simply because of how criticism lands. Loris Karius just made his Bundesliga debut with Schalke, and while his team suffered a heavy defeat after conceding three goals on their return to the league, he still managed to make ten saves during the match. He was considered the best goalkeeper in the relegation battle prior to this game, yet many will likely use this event to mock the German goalkeeper anyway. The reality is that Karius gave everything on the pitch and was actually the best player for his team despite the loss. Criticism will be directed at him by many observers regardless of the fact that he did not concede more than three goals. It is a harsh dynamic where the person who tries hardest often gets thrashed while the team collapses around them. ONLY GOALKEEPERS WILL UNDERSTAND THIS FEELING.
