Roman Bürki: The Tempo Keeper
Not every goalkeeper changes a game with a flying save, sometimes it’s the choices that matter most.
He reads pressure early and picks the safe moment to play, rather than forcing a risky pass for style points. That steadiness feeds into the whole back line because defenders can hold their shape and trust what’s behind them. When CITY are under a spell, he’s the one turning danger into a reset, then letting the team breathe and go again.
