Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko\u2019s reputation as one of Europe\u2019s most powerful young strikers continues to grow, and now even his own teammates are admitting just how difficult it is to deal with his shots in training.<\/p>\n
Goalkeeper Senne Lammens recently shared a candid insight into what it is like to face the Slovenian forward during practice sessions. According to the shot-stopper, \u0160e\u0161ko\u2019s finishing ability can be intimidating even for professional goalkeepers who are used to dealing with powerful strikes.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u0160e\u0161ko hits the hardest shots in training,\u201d Lammens said, highlighting the sheer power behind the striker\u2019s attempts on goal. The goalkeeper explained that situations during close-range drills can become particularly challenging.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s actually crazy sometimes. As a keeper, when people are five yards in front of you, you don\u2019t really want to swat the ball,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n
Close-range finishing drills are designed to sharpen attackers\u2019 instincts, but they can also put goalkeepers in uncomfortable situations. With players shooting from just a few yards away, reflexes become the only line of defense. For Lemmens, dealing with \u0160e\u0161ko\u2019s power at that distance can be a daunting task.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
