My Take
Goalkeepers fascinate me, and Robin Olsen embodies the breed beautifully. At 196 cm, with 79 caps and appearances at two Euros and a World Cup, he carried Sweden's last line for the better part of a decade. What I find genuinely moving is the arc back to Malmö FF, the club of his home city. There is something poetic about a goalkeeper who saw the biggest stages and returned to guard the goal where it all began. The position rewards patience, courage, and a single second of clarity, and Olsen has spent a career mastering exactly that.
