FC Cincinnati’s record setting keeper has espoused that particular piece of wisdom multiple times. He doesn’t take credit for it, always citing his source of Paul Rogers, FC Cincinnati Director of Goalkeeping, for the line, but he does try to remember it most when going through the rigors and challenges of a season.

He will also remind you that goalkeeping is far more nuanced than that, another thing he says that Rogers will hardly let them forget, but if you can’t get that simple directive right, the rest of it doesn’t really matter.

So with that in mind, Roman Celentano, the man between the metal for FC Cincinnati fresh off his 150th appearance for the club, is looking for 2026 to be another year of personal improvement and finding ways for his play to further help the team find success.
