My Take
Goalkeepers like Matz Sels rarely get poems written about them, and that is exactly why I like watching him. Born 1992 near Antwerp, the 188cm Belgian grafted across France and England before settling at Nottingham Forest and earning the Belgium number one shirt. There is no shortcut to that: keeper is the one position where you must wait years for trust, accumulating clean sheets one unglamorous save at a time. He is the steady professional who makes the flashy attackers in front of him look better. Teams are held together by people exactly this dependable, and I have a soft spot for the quiet ones.
