We receive a lot of information from goalkeepers, who ask, among other things, whether goalkeepers from lower leagues have the same high chance to break into professional football compared to field players?
In our opinion, yes, but under certain conditions.
In the case of goalkeepers, growth is very important and unfortunately we have no direct influence on how tall we will be. .
However, if we meet this condition, we can achieve absolutely anything if we work very hard!
Jerzy Dudek are perfect examples.
Dudek up to the age of 23 played in the Polish third league in the Concordia Knurów team where he combined football with normal work to earn his living.
He wasn't even a prominent footballer there.
He was motivated to work harder by a trainer who thought that Jerzy did not have much talent and was throwing himself at the ball like a sack of potatoes.
These words changed Dudek's mind very much to prove to the trainer that he was wrong, he decided to train much harder than before.
He always appeared at training much earlier than others and was catching up!
The effects of this work exceeded everyone's expectations!
At the age of 23, Dudek moved to the Polish Premier League to play there only half a year, because after that time Feyenoord bought a Polish goalkeeper.
Dudek played so well in Feyenoord that in 2000 he became the best player of the league there!
Then he went to Liverpool with whom he won the Champions League in 2005.
