Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi says the use of goalkeepers has changed in modern football. De Zerby has now admitted that his goalkeeper is an important member of his attack. He explained to DAZN: “We struggled against Manchester City because we relied a lot on our goalkeeper.
The same goes for the Liverpool match. This season they [Liverpool] have been bolder with the ball than ever before. “When you play against a man-to-man team, you have no choice but to throw a long ball or give it to the goalkeeper.
“[Gian Piero] Gasperini was the first [to use a goalkeeper]”. He is the best man-to-man trainer. He was the first to use it and is still the best. “I think they realized that goalkeepers are going to be important weapons in the future,” he said.
