When I was nine or ten, I had a chat with my coach and I asked if I could play in goal. I started playing as a goalkeeper and it was love at first sight. Only a goalkeeper knows how it is.

Ederson

I have always said that a striker scores a goal but not every goal is scored by a striker. A goalkeeper can make a mistake which is a goal, but every goal still goes past him and you have to accept that.

Simon Mignolet

Obviously, I couldn't imagine that my career would go so well. When I first started, I wanted to play out of goal. But there was no goalkeeper, and the coach put me in goal.

Manuel Neuer

The team I used to play for as a kid, we changed goalkeeper every game. Finally I went in goal and we won - and they made me stay there.

Willy Caballero

I played soccer all my life and I used to think growing up that they put the fat kid in goal or they put the kid that wasn't good with the ball at their feet in goal and I never wanted to do goalkeeper, I was always the goal scorer.

Hope Solo

You'll always find that goalkeepers are a team within the team, and I've always had good relationships with the others, which is important because nobody understands the mindset of a goalkeeper like the other goalkeepers.

Wojciech Szczesny

Goalkeeper is a very influential position, and that is becoming recognised now. If you think about it, any error that we make can be fatal for the team. It can lead to a goal and cause a defeat.

Alisson

Of course my first goal is to save the balls. This is obviously the most important thing as a goalkeeper.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

I am a goalkeeper. My first duty is to save the goal. The second is to communicate with my defenders and organize them.

P. R. Sreejesh

There is always a case as a goalkeeper, if you make an error, it will lead to a goal.

Jordan Pickford

As a goalkeeper, you always expect every team to give you nightmares.

Edwin van der Sar

Buffon, for us, is the captain. He is the player with the most experience and we are lucky to have the man who I believe is the best goalkeeper of all time defending our goal. We always try to make sure that he has to make very few saves, but it is extremely reassuring having him in goal.

Giorgio Chiellini

Every position is difficult, but you're always involved in the biggest chances of the opponent; when there's a goal, you're always involved. It's difficult to explain, but this is the importance of the goalkeeper: he's always concentrated, even if he's not running as much as other players. He always needs to be focused.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

The role of a goalkeeper in Pep's team is like the 11th outfield player on the pitch, in terms of the build-up, the pressing. I think it's more difficult. There is a bigger responsibility because you can't afford to make any mistakes. If you do, it probably ends in an opposition goal.

Ederson

To score a goal for Liverpool is always special but the fact it was for the first team makes it even better.
