Goalkeeper Gloves


Okay, lets take a break today. Lets talk about gloves.
This gear is the most important thing a keeper should have. Its something that makes keeper looks cool. Looks extraordinary and looks to have something big to carry on his responsbility. Thats why I like to be a goalkeeper. In games I always tell the strikers, "Hey you! Gimme what u can? Give me ur life threatening and powerfull shot! I will catch it easily.
The first glove I wear was a diadora glove. It was just a simple and basic glove. Nice design. Got some sticky latex and thats all. I have broken my fingers many times trying to catch balls using the glove! At that point in time it was really scary to be a goalkeeper. Every single part of your body is bound to be broken if not carefully protected especially goalkeeper's fingers. Imagine damaging your fingers beyond repair and imagine the consequence.
But now, with technology, there is a huge evolution in goalkeeper's glove. There is many types of gloves nowadays. Among them are boned gloves, roll finger gloves, surround cut gloves, negative cut gloves, astro gloves and the basic gloves.
Personally I like the boned gloves like the one pictured above. The adidas fingersave gloves. I bought my first Edvin Van de Sar black and yellow stripe Adidas FingerSave gloves 4 years ago and like it ever since. I've never had any single damage to my fingers even since I wear that gloves. You feel much more confortable and you will grip the lightning travelling balll with ease. Totally! Go buy adidas fingersave and you will know what I mean
