World Cup Goalkeepers - Dragoslav Jevric
Dragoslav Jevric played his debut match for Serbia & Montenegro against Mexico in 2002 at the age of 28 years. But it was in the qualifying matches for World Cup 2006 that he made his name. Of the ten matches in which Jevric kept the goal, Serbia & Montenegro did not concede even one goal in nine matches. Much of the credit for this accrued to Jevric. His fans hailed him as an impregnable wall. They forgot the errors he used to make in the past, and lauded him for the outstanding saves he made in the qualifying matches. The Serbia & Montenegro team too recognized his skills under the bars. It was on account of his feats that the country was able to qualify for World Cup ahead of Spain. Today, this 1974 born goalkeeper is Serbia & Montenegro’s number one goalkeeper, known for his goal stopping abilities. He has a large following across the country, and is quite popular among footballers. In 2005, the 1.87 meteres tall Jevric joined Ankaraspor, a Turkish club, and has been keeping the goal for them. But he is understood to be looking for a bigger stage. His good performances in World Cup 2006 should surely bring him to the notice of leading European clubs. Keith MacLean is the mental training coach for athletes the world over. To book a private session and get your game to the next level, check out http://www.goalkeepertips.com |
