The shape of him
Mike Penders is a 21-year-old goalkeeper at Genk and a Belgium international. In 25/26 that meant 56 club appearances and 4,639 minutes. 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
