FK Vojvodina '13/14. A deep squad full of talent.

Albert Riera says out loud what many coaches think but rarely state so clearly: playing too much with the goalkeeper doesn’t help you win games. The priority is simple: - play forward. - find the free man. - find the players who change the game. The goalkeeper is there to defend. Sometimes to help create superiority — yes. But assists from goalkeepers are rare, and results are not decided by them. That’s why Riera trains it deliberately: use the goalkeeper once — and then you must play forward. Remove the safety net. Force solutions ahead of the ball. Train it. Automate it. And in games, you’ll naturally play less with the goalkeeper.
