When goalkeepers are being rated we always hear talk of shot-stopping, dealing with crosses and how well they use their feet.

One element that doesn’t get discussed enough is the art of the throw out.

It’s an ideal way to get your team up the field quickly to catch your opponents on the counter and Naft Tehran’s ‘keeper Alireza Beiranvand is an absolute master of the art.
