Almir Diogo

Towering at 197cm, this assertive Brazilian goalkeeper relies on lightning reflexes and elite positioning, though he can be dangerously hesitant when charging off his line. He credits his rise to an elite level to a shattered shoulder suffered during a bizarre training ground collision with a goalpost, an injury that forced him to sharpen his focus and mental dominance. Today, he commands his area with unbreakable confidence, turning every penalty and save into a statement of his grit.
