Amadeo Carrizo
Person
Born
Carrizo looked at goalkeeping with an attacker's interest in what might happen next. He could leave his area, use his feet and release the ball quickly to turn a defensive intervention into an attacking opportunity. The Argentine federation's account of his career stresses that broader reading of the position. At River Plate, he became a major example of the keeper as an active footballer, well before the modern expectation that every elite goalkeeper should contribute to possession.
