Alseny Nabe

Haunted by a childhood fear of darkness after getting locked in a windowless storage room, this Guinean goalkeeper uses every flight and acrobatic reflex to keep his goal radiant. While his elite diving and lightning-fast reactions are things of beauty, he struggles to find his position when the lights dim on the pitch. His silent, steely focus is the fire forged from his past, making him a formidable, albeit enigmatic, presence between the posts.
