To be a modern goalkeeper, I have to think offensively, to initiate our attacking moves safely and securely.
I think it's important to make the simple things right: the easy saves, the catches, commanding the box. On top of that, if you make a super save, then that's great. It's the main base as a goalkeeper.
I think a goalkeeper has to participate at the back of the defence and come off the line to play.
It's a strange world, the goalkeeping world.
Often, there are fallacies when a journalist or a fan and sometimes even a coach who has never been a goalkeeper sees a cross in the six-yard box and says he should come out.
As a goalkeeper, you learn from the guys you work with.
As a goalkeeper it's so important to be in the right position to come and clear those through balls, to make those right decisions.
The goalkeeper position is not an easy one. You can only speak about it if you are a goalkeeper yourself.
What goalkeeper doesn't like a little action?
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.
To build more interest in goalkeeping, we have to change how people think and report on goalkeepers. You are not just there to keep the ball out of the back of the net: you are there to impact the back four, to organise the team, essentially lead from the back. It is a really pivotal position.
It is never nice to see keepers make mistakes. All keepers talk about it, and we work very hard not to make those mistakes.
