Can a goalkeeper pick up a return pass in a soccer game?

No, you can touch it with your feet first and then pick it up with your hands.

When it comes to the ball that is passed back to the goalkeeper, it is naturally a deliberate pass. In this case, according to the latest FIFA rules, only the goalkeeper who passes back to the goalkeeper above the shoulder can pick it up. The goalkeeper who passes to the goalkeeper in any other part cannot be received.

FIFA deliberately changed the rule that a goalkeeper can catch a ball with his foot on a return pass, which is an example of a foul in the new rules.

The goalkeeper cannot directly catch the return pass with his feet.

In football, a player passes the ball back to the goalkeeper, and the goalkeeper cannot catch it with his hands.

The goalkeeper can't use his hands to catch the throw-in ball thrown by his own team, nor can he use his hands to receive the ball that his team members deliberately return with their feet, whether it is a low ball or a high ball, even if it is a high return pass directly in the opponent's half, it is obvious to pass back to the goalkeeper's ball, if the goal is the goalkeeper, you can't use your hands.

If the player in front of him is a big foot or a low flat pass to his defender, and the ball leaks due to the defender's mistake instead of intentionally leaking, he can catch it with his hand, because there is an indirect in the middle, and it is not allowed to hold the ball with his hand after receiving it with his foot. Players can use their hands to catch the ball with their hands on the return pass above the thigh.

In addition, after the goalkeeper receives the ball with his hand (whether it is his own return pass or the opponent's pass or shot), if the goalkeeper puts the ball on the ground, he cannot pick it up again, he must kick it out with his foot, no matter how dangerous it is, and he cannot pick it up again, otherwise it will be regarded as a foul and an indirect free kick in the penalty area will be awarded.

When the defender deliberately passes the ball to his goalkeeper with his feet, the goalkeeper cannot catch the ball with his hands, this kind of ball is called a return pass, and if the goalkeeper catches the ball with his hands, then he will be punished for a foul and give the opponent a chance to take a free kick.

The return pass is when the player of his own team passes the ball to the goalkeeper of his team, because it is very easy to delay time, so the goalkeeper is not allowed to receive the pass back with his hand.

When a player of his team deliberately passes the ball to his goalkeeper with his feet, the goalkeeper cannot catch the ball with his hands, but can receive the ball with his head.

If your player doesn't know how to pass the ball during the game, he can kick the ball to the goalkeeper, in which case the goalkeeper can't take it directly.
