Every goalkeeper has their own strong points and qualities. What I like to do is focus on every keeper. You can pick bits out of every keeper where they are particularly strong, and you can learn from things like that.
I have always been interested in finding new ways to play and have looked at handball keepers and ice hockey goal-minders. It helps me.
In many ways, my job in soccer was like my job in basketball now. I had to protect the goal. That was the name of the game, not letting the other team score.
If you're a goalkeeper, it doesn't matter what you save the ball with - if you keep it out, it's not a goal.
Playing goal is like being shot at.
There are no good saves, there are only weak shots.
Apart from picking the ball out of the net, he hasn't had to make a save.
I hate letting goals in, and some of them have come in a bit of an awkward manner.
Of course my first goal is to save the balls. This is obviously the most important thing as a goalkeeper.
Neuer is one of the best goalkeepers in history.
I started playing soccer at age 6 and played both outfield and goalie. Back then, no one wanted to go on goalie - coaches would make deals with me so I'd do it. It's a tough position as a kid.
As a goalkeeper, you learn from the guys you work with.
Each of the top goalkeepers has a particular quality to teach me. I look at Diego Lopez, Iker Casillas, Victor Valdes, Gianluigi Buffon... they all have tremendous experience and ability, and have spent years proving they are the best.
Big teams want goalkeepers who are not only good on the line but good with their feet as well.
The only technical difference you will find is, if you are keeping goal as a male, they will play a bit further out, but set positions are the same, and techniques are constantly evolving.
