Christine de Simone

Standing 190 cm tall, this reserved Italian wall uses her formidable strength and lightning-fast reflexes to transform traumatic childhood memories of being trapped in a locked closet into an obsession with perfect handling. While she remains an elite shot-stopper whose dives look like pure art, her inconsistent positioning and struggle to face penalty kicks occasionally reveal the quiet shadows in her otherwise imposing command of the net.
