Goalkeeper - interventions | Defence FIFA 15 Guide

Charge out

Any effective intervention of your goalkeeper must involve proper charging out of the goal - a good position and reducing the angle of an opponent's shot is an absolute minimum, if you want to defend the goal. In order to head out of the goal, push the charge button. Do not move back to the goal during an opponent's attack - it usually ends up with catching the goalkeeper at a wide step, which is a straight way to losing a goal.

Defending penalties

Giving tips on defending penalties is difficult, since penalties are pure lottery, and defending one depends only on luck and the player's intuition. However, opponents tend to aim at the lower corners of the goal, so you should rather place a bet on one of these. The rest lies in the hands of the goalkeeper and depends on your intuition.

A good charge out is half of success!

The last defender

Lately goalkeepers has been train to use proper leg play in front of the penalty area, thus becoming a so-called last defender - such technique is also present in FIFA 15. Holding the charge button longer gives you a chance of getting outside the penalty area and kicking out the incoming ball right from the legs of a single attacker, or stopping a long perpendicular pass.
