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<p>\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<p>\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<p>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":"<p>Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko\u2019s reputation as one of Europe\u2019s most powerful young strikers continues to grow, and now even his own teammates\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":44930,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4650],"tags":[3835,3686,3918,1823,3796,2503,249,218,4040,3836],"class_list":["post-44929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-premier-league","tag-benjamin-sesko","tag-david-ornstein","tag-english-premier-league","tag-fabrizio-romano","tag-football","tag-goalkeeper","tag-manchester-united","tag-premier-league","tag-senne-lammens","tag-sesko"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44929"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44929\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44931,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44929\/revisions\/44931"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
