WHY DO GOALKEEPERS SPIT OUT THEIR GLOVES?




surely they have noticed that in football games and prior to a play against the goalkeeper, he spits his gloves and rubs the saliva that he ejected seconds before in the palms. Sure it is a very grotesque image, but it is common in matches. Well, here we tell you why the goalkeepers spit out the football gloves?


 


Although it is a pretty disgusting action,Most professional gloves for the exclusive use of soccer are made of latex, a material that helps to cushion the impact of the ball, but generates adhesion. One tip is to keep the palm part moist to have a better grip.







That is why they use water, but this liquid makes them dry very quickly and the glove loses adherence. It occurred to someone that it would be a very good idea to spit to hydrate the latex, this way they can repeat the action while they are on the field of play and without losing grip on the ball.

This is a great technique and that is why many goalkeepers use it, only there is a problem. Gloves wear very quickly using spit. It turns out that saliva is made to protect tooth enamel and contains enzymes that aid digestion. For this reason, the material of the gloves will wear out very quickly and will not last long.

It is obvious that the goalkeepers who play in the First Division care very little that their work tools wear out, because they give them the gloves and they can use different ones per game. So they can easily spit out.




But if you do not have that much budget and you must take care of the protection of your hands, we have an advice. From the start, stop spitting and you don't want to gamble. You can touch the wet grass to make the gloves wet, but not so much because they can lose adherence.
The best thing will be to buy “glove glue”, what is it? It is an adherent spray for goalkeeper gloves, which does not harm the palms. Now, this is for high-end gloves, if you have cheap ones it won't do any good to get them wet, since they are made of another material.
UPS!! FORGETS TO SPIT IN MY GLOVES...
