Zetti

Zetti earns my respect on one line of his résumé alone: goalkeeper in Brazil's 1994 World Cup-winning squad. At 188 cm he had the frame of a classic last line of defense, and to hold a place in that golden generation says everything about his nerve. What I appreciate most is that he never really left the game, moving into management and punditry once his gloves came off. Goalkeeping is a thankless, isolating job, and the men who do it well tend to be the most stubborn and self-possessed. I have a soft spot for that kind of quiet pride.
