Patience, Coach’s Trust, And Mental Strength The Mantra For Jamshedpur FC Custodian Albino Gomes
AFC Champions League Two: Two matches, two clean sheets, and a quarter-final victory in a penalty shootout. That is what Jamshedpur FC goalkeeper Albino Gomes has to show for in the Kalinga Super Sup 2025, so far.
The 31-year-old has had a stellar season under the bar for the Men of Steel, notching up a whopping 102 saves from his 27 appearances in the Indian Super League this season, as he played a pivotal role in his side’s run to the semi-finals. While his supreme form has helped Gomes maintain a tight back-line for his team, the 1.87 metres-tall goalkeeper admittedly conceded he was somewhat fortunate in the penalty shootout.
“I was confident before the shootout, but I think my team helped me more. They missed quite a few of their penalties, so I did not have to save much, but I’m very happy that we were able to win the quarter-final, and are now just two matches away from winning the trophy,” Gomes said to the AIFF.com.
