18 September 2022 will go down in the history books as a significant date for the SP Football brand. The venue? The Francis-Le Blé Stadium. The match? Matchday 8 of Ligue 1: Stade Brestois vs. AC Ajaccio.
Ghjuvanni Quilichini, the Corsican team's number 3 goalkeeper, was on the bench after the second goalkeeper, Sollacaro, was injured. Then, in the 9th minute, a strong collision occurred inside the Ajaccio area. Unfortunately, the starting goalkeeper cannot continue. His moment of destiny had arrived: his debut as a professional player.
This was a well-deserved reward for years of hard work and sacrifice, including great seasons at the AC Ajaccio youth academy and a qualification for the Coupe Gambardella quarter-finals in the U19 Nationals, which unfortunately came to an end due to the pandemic. His first match reflected all of this: he was serious and focused, and always ready to intervene with his feet or his hands.
In addition to that, we can highlight some magnificent saves, particularly the double save in the first half that prevented the Corsican team from falling behind at half-time. This helped him achieve his first clean sheet as a professional and secured AC Ajaccio their first victory of the season. What more could you ask for from a 20-year-old goalkeeper? Semu fieri di voi!
The gloves used are the SP Atlas Pro Strong, one of our best models in terms of balance between grip and fit. A blend of classic and modern gloves, with a hybrid rollfinger/flat palm. They also feature gel inserts on the back to help you make the best possible saves.
