“I don’t worry about saves,” Valero says. “The most important thing is consistency and you have a better chance of that if the goalkeeper’s positioning is strong. That is the key to everything, positioning.” Hence the chess, played on his laptop.
Take a “one v one” situation; a striker clear on goal. “If all I do is worry about making the save that’s already difficult because he has the ball and I don’t so he has the advantage,” Valero explains. “But what if I say, ‘okay, I don’t need to make a save, all I need to do is have a strategy to put pressure on you? I’m not going to move, I’m not going to dive, I’m not going to guess’. Meanwhile, the striker doesn’t know who’s running behind him. You can then have a clear mind and be in control and from a strong position you can do anything. Not just in football but in life.”
