Marca doesn’t hesitate in exalting one of Marcet’s greatest teachers: “Llopis was cherished by the very same “ Arrigo Sacchi for his methods. The fact that Madrid didn’t fail any of their shots in Milan, is largely down Llopis”. He was the night’s hero, but behind those shots is a mind, a key component to Zinedine Zidane’s staff: Luis Llopis, not only taught the keepers where to throw themselves for a penalty in function of the striker, but also gave advice on the strikers themselves. The rotation player from Madrid has the following to say about their eleventh Champions League win: “ Cristiano Ronaldo was responsable for translating the decisive penalty. A path then followed by the Gipuzkoan trainer. He owes this to his ‘guardian angel’, to quote the newspaper ‘Marca’: “With Llopis, Keylor improved in all possible aspects as a goalkeeper and by reason of this union, graced match after match in the Brazilian World Cup and was eventually signed to Real Madrid”.
It was in Valencia where the Costa Rican goalkeeper would make a place for himself in La Liga. He did this alongside Keylor Navas, both of which coming from Levante UD. His experience was sought after by the world’s best clubs and Llopis didn’t take long in returning to Real Madrid as an idol. In Barcelona, Llopis also collaborated on the development of intensive courses and in making the Pruebas Nacionales de Porteros.Īll over Spain, his fame proceeded him. His great charisma and vast curiosity for researching new ways of learning were key when elaborating the Programa Avance, still to date a central pillar in the Marcet approach. After accumulating experience all over the world as a renowned international ambassador for teams like Real Madrid CF and Athletic de Bilbao, he wound up in Marcet to develop an innovative procedure as far as goalkeeping is concerned. However, he decided he wouldn’t be leaving the footballing world any time soon, as he would then specialise in goalkeeper training. Luis Llopis, (Hernani, 1964) brought his sporting career to a hiatus due to a fibula injury. Football’s recent history has made it evident that they don’t even come close to making mistakes and Keylor Navas’ success with the Real Madrid CF shirt has done nothing else but put the cherry on the icing proliferating the legend of one of the preeminent trainers of Marcet. When Luis Llopis made his way to la Foundation Marcet, the International Academy of Goalkeepers didn’t take long to realise that they were in the presence of one of the best and most charismatic trainers in the world. Luis Llopis’s innovative methodology has elevated Real Madrid’s keeper and keeps on giving in Marcet.
