i know andy very well, as i am a sports reporter for the radio. i met him first in 1985. he was the most ambitious football pro i have ever gotten to know! even after a hard two hour training, he would go on for two hours more, just him and the 2nd gk. once köpke allowed me to shoot exactly ten penaltys against him. the first one was in, because it was quite a rough ground in spain. the ball hit a stone just two inches to the line and strangely leaped over his arm. man, was this guy angry... for the following nine penalties i didn't have the slightest chance to score. even though i was in my mid twenties and had quite a heavy right foot. i really got desperate. whatever i tried - andy was like a telepathic panther, catching every single shot easily. i still have the deepest respect for his great performances. btw: great vid, too!!
Really really awesome story.... I like this story very much. Köpke for me one of the underrated keeper of Germany. All speak about Schumacher, Kahn, Maier or Neuer. I had back in time his two trainings videso. It is awesome to watch his performances. For me just in 1994 Köpke had to play instead of Illgner. Illgner good keeper, ok, but Köpke is another world: agil, technical skills, awesome type, concentrate. And I remember his constantely. In mind of his full career maybe I have 1-2 errors. Other keepers like Illgner or Neuer or Kahn I have just their 4-5 errors in memory.
@@SuperAttitudeera I think it is more that he never played in a "big" team and more known as the keeper who went from 1st ond 2nd Bundesliga. Or maybe he was not so "loud" like the other ones. For the rest: I know that the whole performance in the WC 1998 was not so awesome like on the EC in 1996. Some mistakes, ok. But allways normal mistakes and not so big things like Schumacher in the final 1986 or Kahn against Real Madrid in the CL. Well, maybe you are still right. For me remains one of the best german keepers of all time. His consant really awesome.
If there was another one with a superior virtue in a particular aspect is one thing, but he was the only goalkeeper I have ever seen that had absolutely no flaws to his game. There are lots and lots of excellent to amazing saves from many GKs, but you won't see them not only saving hard and tough shots, but grabbing the ball to an absolute halt in the process, like Köpke did time and time again. That's true security and confidence. There's a reason Sepp Maier was never worried about a single penalty at the time with Andreas Köpke between the sticks. His smile after he saved them said everything. My favorite goalkeeper of all time and without a doubt, even with his accolades, by far the most underrated goalkeeper in football history.
Im English and first become aware of Kopke @ Euro 96. AWESOME Goalkeeper. Still one of my all time favourites. German consistently produce World Class Keepers,like England USED TOO!!!
Koepke was the best, Kahn was the scariest goalkeeper, and Neuer is the finest! Koepke could be in 94WC nr.1 easily. If he had a transfer in Barca, he would be more famous!
Andreas köpke makes difficult saves look easy amazing player so talented one of my favorite goalkeepers of all time✌✌and he is not tall I do not know why many consider height so important the best goalies in history are short but the 90's goalie jerseys are the best
First saw him in Euro 96 and what a tournament he had. Probably best keeper in the world in the 90s and remarkable how he played second fiddle to Illgner, as i think he was better.
Simply a shoot-stopping tutorial. His head, hand, and eye position in each set position is always steady, and no extra movement. That always gives him extra reaction time!
Truly the best and from 1992-1998 he was phenomenal and had the old school mentality when it came to playing as well as reading the game. Andy didn't allow rebounds (the ones he did, he was able to push away or allow for corner kicks) and was so ridiculously quick on recovery. His angles were played perfectly! In 1996: Andy was the best goalkeeper in the world. His camps, currently, are wild. I wish that I had the technology that he is using to teach goalkeepers in the 1980s/1990s when I was a professional indoor player. Andy substituted quickness due to only being 5' 10" tall and was like a cat. In closing, Andy is just handsome! Sorry guys, it has to be said, ha! Handsome and I'm sure his wife concurs, ha!
@@gianluigisun1675 Absolutely right! Today fast all the goalkeepers are over 1,90m and they all suck! There's one who reminds me of the 90s short goalkeeper: Jan Sommer. He's 1,82m and his hair style too.
The same for me, I remember him only during the Euro 96 and I also didn't know he was that good before watching this video because he didn't make any particularly amazing save that took my attention during that time although he was not bad at all. In addition to that, he used to be called "the black cat" by the staff because he was often unlucky.
AC Milan Blog 1899 Channel Yeah thats right. Köpke was a great keeper. He is the first keeper after Sepp Maier to win the World Cup and Euro Cup for germany.
Can I just tell you how much I appreciate you making this video? Like, look, I recognize the talents of the younger generation, make no mistake: Neuer, Courtois, Ter Stegen, Navas - everyone does - hell Casillas is my number favorite of all time, but that's only because Köpke made the goalkeeper position look so damn attractive to an impressionable eight-year-old watching his first World Cup tournament. But I swear he's the only German goalkeeper from the last quarter century I've never heard mentioned in retrospect. They always cover Neuer, Lehmann, Kahn (of course), even the Bundesliga goalies of lower profile like Weidenfeller, Hildebrand and Wiese, and then skip to Bodo Illgner, but no Köpke. Although from what I know he is the one who's coached all the major ones after him so... perhaps not all heroes work center stage!
@AC Milan Blog 1899 Channel Partly its his mistake he never did. In 1996 Barcelona wanted to Sign him and did so but voided the contract because he also had signed with VfB stuttgart. At the end he landed in Marseille. Im still a little bit mad at him after 20 years. Back than Stuttgart had a brilliant Team with Balakov, Elber, Bobic, Verlaat and Soldo and Jogi Löw as coach. With a world class keeper like him we could have had a Chance to become Champions. But landed 4th at the end and winning the cup.
like you said, he is our goalkeeper coach for the national football team. and since quite some time. We know what we got in him. :) he is the reason i went from midfield to goalie in my younger years playing football on a VERY low level. XDXD
Toni Turek, Sepp Maier, Harald Schumacher, Andy Köpke, Bodo Illner, O. Khan, M. Neuer... THE GREAT GERMAN GK ACADEMY. Great style, elegance, elasticity and above all technical. Stil, Eleganz, Elastizität und vor allem technisch.
Damn. I can’t believe I’m 28 years old and I’m just finding out about this Goalkeeper today. Wow. Wonder’s shall never end, because I have never heard of him at all 👍🏻 And by the way I used to be a goalkeeper too 😊
It was a big mistake of the German team to make Bodo Illgner no.1 for the World Cup 94. The German team was very strong with East and West reunified, and they had the potential to win the championship ...but Illgner made sure they were eliminated by 2 goal keeper errors in 1 game.
IS NEED A VIDEO OF ROBERTO ROJAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE CONDOR was considered the GK No. 12 in the history of South American football (IFFHS) and that was unfair, because he should have been considered even better. Michel Prodoume said Roberto Rojas was the best GK he saw is all his life.
Sehr guter, entspannter Torwart, der sich nie in den Vordergrund gedrängt hat. Ist nicht so wie Heute, wo jeder ein Star sein will. Leider dadurch unterbewertet. Ist halt kein Sepp, Neuer, Kahn oder Lehmann. Alle Gut im Tor und gute Selbstdarsteller. Die guten stillen werden halt schnell Vergessen. Leider. Neuer hat leider den Punkt verpasst dann zurück zu treten, wenn der Zenit überschritten ist.
Creo que son 2 tipos de porteros muy diferentes, Koepke era de la escuela de porteros agiles y no muu altos como Paco Buyo, Santiago Cañizares, Arconada, Keylor Navas, Casillas o Vitor Baia , en cambio Van der Saar era de la escuela de porteros altos y sobrios como Schmeichel, Illgner o Zoff. A mi me gustan mas los porteros modernos, que son altos y muy ágiles, Buffon, Courtouis, Neuer, Ter Stegen, Oblak....
Giordano Da Frassini ma dai,koepke era forte si ma Kahn ed proprio un mostro...ha avuto un calo dopo il 2004/05 ma resta sempre un portierone incredibile
Youngest talk a lot about Khan, but Khan only play when Bodo Ilgner and Andreas Köpke retire from national team. Bodo Ilgner win World Cup 1990 and no mistakes Andreas köpke win Euro 1996 and no mistakes Oliver Khan he was good keeper but more a show man. Final 2002 shows what he was, very bad in hard matches. I never forget the exibition of Andreas Köpke against Italy in Euro 1996. What a keeper! Mais um grande vídeo!
Kahn is a legend. At the champions league final in 2001 against Valencia he saved 3 penaltys. And at the WC in 2002 Germany was only able to reach the final because of Kahns saves. At the final when he made the mistake against Rivaldos shot, Kahns hand was injured.
@@cedricwhocares5635 Many keepers play injured, so is not a big deal. I said "he was good" but never a legend. My point is... all keeper goes to Bayern its always considere the best german keeper ever. Even now with Neuer... Bodo Ilgner and Andreas Köpke are legend because they didnt make mistake in big tournaments. Hes famous because Bayern have a good promotion on there players and he had crazy personality Cheers
@Lord Giroud why people are so sensitive this days? 😅😂 Its just an opinion. 😂😂😂😂😂 Ok! Oliver Khan deserve a statue and a religion just for him. But dont call me "nuts" i can be traumatized for the rest of my life 😂
Andreas was my favourite goalkeeper. Modern keepers can't show such long jump and skill. The last keeper with such skills was van der Saar.
Moment of silence for all those strikers 😂

One of the great members of the traditional german GKs school...
one of the best goalkeepers in generally

My favorite goalkeeper of all time and without a doubt, even with his accolades, by far the most underrated goalkeeper in football history.
He had the quickest stand up I've ever seen, after every save he quickly took his positioning back. I've never seen that in any goalkeeper.
Im English and first become aware of Kopke @ Euro 96. AWESOME Goalkeeper. Still one of my all time favourites. German consistently produce World Class Keepers,like England USED TOO!!!
I also remember him from Euro 96, the guy was a machine, absolutely unbeatable keeper then.
A world class goalkeeper.
One Of The Greatest German Goalkeepers Off All Time 👍👏💪
Ilgner, Koepke, Kahn, Lehmann, Butt, Neuer, Ter Stegen,... Germans always had a great GK!
Koepke was the best, Kahn was the scariest goalkeeper, and Neuer is the finest! Koepke could be in 94WC nr.1 easily. If he had a transfer in Barca, he would be more famous!
Agile and effective. His reign coincided and ended with the emergence of Kahn and Leman. His 96 performance was seamless.
He's a legend

I mainly remember Köpke from Euro 96 but damn I never realised he was this good. Preud'homme is still nr. 1 imo.
Preud'homme brought confidence for short goalkeepers，there were so many short（below1.85m） but world class goalkeepers in the 90s.
