Can the goalkeeper play outside the restricted area?

Yes, but after the goalkeeper leaves the penalty area, he has the same rights as other players. He can't use his hands, otherwise it will be regarded as handball.

Goalkeepers are not allowed to catch the ball by hand outside the restricted area. And no matter whether the goalkeeper's body is in the restricted area or outside the restricted area, as long as the ball is in the restricted area, it can be caught by hand, as long as it is in the air.

But even if you are in the penalty area and the ball is in the air but still outside the penalty area, you can't reach out and touch it, otherwise it will be a foul.

Moreover, when the goalkeeper's body is completely out of the baseline, as long as the ball is still in the line, it is also a normal ball.

It all depends on the position of the ball. The rules of football are different from those of basketball. Football is also restricted by the line in the air at the beginning of the restricted area line, so as long as the ball is on the line.

In addition, the goalkeeper can't use his hand to catch the foul ball thrown by his team, nor can he use his hand to catch the ball intentionally returned by his team. Whether it is a low flat ball or a high ball, he can't catch it with his hand even if he kicks the high ball directly in the other half. It was an obvious pass back to the goalkeeper. If the goal is the goalkeeper, he can't use his hands.

If the frontcourt player passes the ball back to his own defender with his big foot or low level, he can catch it by hand because of the defender's mistake rather than intentionally missing the ball, because there is indirectness in the middle, and it is not allowed to hold the ball with his foot after catching it.

Players of our team can catch the back pass above their thighs with their hands.

In addition, after the goalkeeper catches the ball by hand (whether it is his own return or the opponent's pass or shot), if the goalkeeper puts the ball on the ground, he can't pick it up again. He must kick it out with his feet, and no matter how dangerous it is, he can't pick it up again, otherwise it will be regarded as a foul and an indirect free kick will be awarded in the penalty area.

Goalkeeper technique refers to the effective action method adopted by the goalkeeper by using reasonable parts of his body after receiving the ball, or the action method that is helpful to his team's attack.

Compared with other football techniques, the goalkeeper's technique is special, and most of the goalkeeper's technical movements are done by hand.
