Utkir Yusupov

Utkir Yusupov fascinates me as a small story about identity in Central Asia: born in Kazakhstan's Sayram, yet the man between the posts for Uzbekistan's national team. At 185 cm he's a commanding presence, and a long stint guarding the net for Navbahor marks him as a seasoned keeper. I've always thought goalkeeper is the loneliest job on the pitch, where one lapse becomes a goal, and doing it under that pressure while carrying a flag other than your birthplace's takes real conviction. He makes me want to look closer at the region's football, and that curiosity is a credit to him.
