Pakistani keepers showing guts: Coach

LAHORE The soccer goalkeeper is one of the most important players on the field - they are the last line of defense and the first line of attack. To play the position well requires special skills and training, said Pakistan U-14 goal keeper coach Noman Ibrahim. I am really happy and thrilled with Usman Khan and Syed Hassan Mujtaba who are showing guts in the ongoing AFC U14 Festival of Football at Iranian town Hamedan, and due to their gutsy performance Pakistan conceded only three goals in five matches, he added. Noman hoped that both will continue their firework in Format II matches too on Saturday and Sunday after Fridays Skill Test. Noman showed fine dedication and ability as coach in recent years and he rose to limelight when he acted as goalkeeper coach of Pakistan that drew 0-0 with Asian Champions Iraq at Damascus three years ago in World Cup clash.
