The goalkeeper of Borussia D Roman Birki answered the criticism of the "experts" after the defeat from Tottenham.

In the Champions League fight against Tottenham, goalkeeper Borussia D Roman Birki was far from perfect, but believes that not all criticism of him is fair.

"Yes, it was not my best day," wrote Birki in his Instagram. - But I want to say a few words to those who consider themselves an expert in the field of goalkeeping skills. I do not know where this myth came from, that the goalkeeper has no right to pass into the near corner. All who stood on the gate at a sufficiently high level know that it is necessary to close a large space, and to control not only the near, but also the far corners, and the entire situation in the penalty area.

If the blow is good, then it is difficult to cope with it, wherever it goes. In addition, attacks in the near corner are often applied from a short distance, which further complicates the task of the goalkeeper ".

In the match Tottenham - Borussia D the hosts won with a score of 3: 1, and the only goal for the "bumblebee" was scored by Andrei Yarmolenko.
