Why Do Soccer Players Run To The Corner Flag?

Players run to the corner after scoring a goal – why?

Well having done this myself.

When I have managed to score, I have a good idea why exactly players do this.

Now first things first, when you score you are filled with so many emotions.

You get this rush of excitement, that makes you want to the corner flag and hug your teammates to celebrate scoring.

This is not the only reason why a footballer does this.

Secondly going to the corner means it takes longer for the opponents to get the ball back in play.

As you will be far in the corner.

This gives the team that scores the opportunity to regroup too.

To give you a little example, if Team A scored let’s say they were one goal ahead.

If Player X scored and their teammates went all the way to the corner to celebrate.

Team B would need to wait until all opposing players had made their way back to their own half.

So as you can see there are two reasons for this.

One for joy and the other for tactics.

With that said though let’s delve a little deeper into the goal celebration.

The whole purpose of doing this tactic is simply to get an edge over your opponent.

When I first started playing I had no clue what it meant.

My coach would shout at me saying to me get goalside.

I would be so confused.

Thinking to myself ‘Goalside, what is that?’.

Well, it’s all about placing yourself between them and the goal.

So that you’re essentially the goalside of your opponent.

It helps ready you for any move that the player you are against makes.

Enabling you to react quicker and hopefully keep any risk they pose to a minimum.

This simple act of moving you from one side of a player to another.

This can in sometimes be the case, between conceding a goal or not.

Because if you are not goalside, you could easily be shrugged off.

With your opponent potentially having a clear opportunity to score or create a chance.

So unless you want to get a telling of from your coaches or teammates.

It’s always best to automatically put yourself in a goalside position when defending, to avoid getting blamed.

Now with that said, lets take a further dive into the term goalside and go into where its come from and why its so important in the game of soccer.
