The shape of him
Alex Paulsen is a 24-year-old goalkeeper at Auckland and a New Zealand international. A goalkeeper is judged in the moments that decide games: the save at 1–0, the claim under pressure, the first pass that starts an attack.
The job
Command the box, organise the line in front, and keep the side in the game when it is under the most pressure.
