After the friendly match between Germany and Spain, the goalkeepers of both teams did not respond very favorably to Adidas Telstar 18, which will be used in the final tournament of the 2018 World Cup.

"The ball gets into the air strange things and moves along an unpredictable trajectory," As quotes the Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea. - Its creators could have tried better ".

"The ball could have been better," goalkeeper of the German national team Mark Andre ter Stegen agrees with his colleague. "It's very mobile ... It's necessary to get used to its flight trajectory and bounces, and, since we have no other choice, we have to do it before the World Cup".

"I think that in the final tournament will be scored at least 35 goals from long distances," said the doubler De Gea Pepe Reina. "Not only is its trajectory unpredictable, it is also covered with plastic film, which makes it difficult to catch it and hold it. It seems to me that there is still time to make this ball more acceptable ".

Criticize the balls came into the habit of modern goalkeepers, although sometimes it is difficult not to agree with them. For example, when it came to Jabulani (World Cup 2010), bringing the goalkeepers almost to hysterics with their irresponsible behavior. The current ball is improved (as claimed by its creators) version of the legendary telstars of the 1970 World Cup and the 1974 World Cup.
