sports dictionary Football - GATE AREA
Football GATE AREA vratarskaya square. A section of the football field located directly in front of the goal. Draw a white line along its edge. In the goal square, the goalkeeper has the right to move freely and go to the ball. At the same time, it is forbidden to push the goalkeeper or otherwise violate the rules against him. Attacking players need to take this into account when making their overhangs. Therefore, it is best to give the ball to the penalty area. There, even their own can compete for it, and it is more difficult for the keeper to intercept such a canopy. If the ball goes into the goalies box, then it is very likely that all such canopies will be easily taken by the goalkeeper.
