Vidadi Novruzov

Towering between the sticks, this friendly Azerbaijani goalkeeper uses elite shot-stopping and daring rushes to command his area with grace. After a freak lawnmower accident nearly shattered his ankle, he returned with a newfound hunger that transformed his reactions into pure artistry. Though he sometimes struggles when faced with a spot-kick, his brilliant glove-work and instinctive positioning make him an impossible puzzle for any striker.
