Bakhtiyor Akramov

After spending his youth chasing pigeons away from his family's bakery to overcome a childhood fear of birds, this Uzbekistan shot-stopper now commands his area with fearless agility and feline reflexes. His breathtaking diving ability turns impossible saves into a friendly routine, though his occasionally frantic parrying shows he is still a work in progress. He guards the net with a humble smile, turning his past anxieties into the unrelenting drive that makes him a true wall.
