Tottenham Hotspur has signed Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who has been praised for his talent and humility. Vicario's former coach believes that his mix of skill and humility will take him far in his career. Vicario has worked on improving his physique and athleticism to become a top goalkeeper.
Italy was already in love but, in England, many were apprehensive over the summer. Was new keeper Guglielmo Vicario the right man for Tottenham Hotspur ?but he was and remains one of the best at identifying talent and 27-year-old Vicario had been a goalkeeper he had followed with enthusiasm.
"In my first experience as a professional at Venezia, one was given to me by the fans, Tegoina," he explained. "In Venetian dialect it indicates the green bean, a long, narrow vegetable. I was tall and wiry and I wore green during the match." One particular phone call caused headlines as he spent much of his time assuring the elderly husband of a fan that it was indeed him, the Perugia goalie, and it wasn't a joke. The fans already loved the player but now they admired the man and the humanity he regularly displayed.
He draws inspiration from Samir Handonovic, Inter's former goalkeeper and a great communicator, while Vicario says Thibaut Courtois is currently the best keeper in the world for his "genius". "He's the goalkeeper I like most. If Inter sell Onana for a good price and then sign him, they're making a good deal," Pagliuca added.The Italian currently has the highest save percentage of any keeper in the Premier League at 78.6%. His success was perhaps easy to predict.
His family deserve a lot of credit for his emotional maturity. "I am an only child, pampered and much loved," he said.
