The lone fighter. That’s how I have always defined the role of a goalkeeper.
You train separately, you warm up separately, you are fighting for just one spot and then if you make a mistake, you’re quickly the idiot. It does mean that you are a bit lonely sometimes, but I enjoy that challenge and I wouldn’t want to play anywhere else.
It’s such an important part of the team and I like that you don’t need to be a showman to play there, you don’t need to be flashy like a forward or a midfielder. That’s just not my style.
