My Take
Roman Burki is a goalkeeper I associate with a very particular era of Borussia Dortmund, when the club was all youthful chaos and counter-attacks and someone had to be the steady last line. At 187 centimeters and coming out of Munsingen in Switzerland, he had the frame and the temperament for it, and his run with the Swiss national team from 2014 to 2018 confirmed he belonged at the top level. What interests me now is his move to St. Louis City SC in Major League Soccer, a reinvention that feels less like winding down and more like a veteran lending real European pedigree to a young league.
Overview
Roman Bürki (born 14 November 1990) is a Swiss professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Major League Soccer club St. Louis City SC. From 2014 to 2018, he played for the Switzerland national team.
