'Fearless, explosive, modest' - what makes Hugo tick, by Michel Vorm

“First of all it’s his dedication and the way he works. Hugo is so competitive. He always asks so much from himself, always looks to be better, always wants more. Always. In football, mentality is so important. You can have the talent but that’s not everything. Hugo’s work ethic is one of his big qualities.

“In terms of goalkeeping it’s his reactions, he’s explosive, fearless. His physique is perfect, in my opinion, he’s not too big, not too small, very athletic...and he’s hardly ever injured. He has all the ingredients and combine that with his mentality and you have one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
