Born in a land of wines and goalkeepers, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Guglielmo Vicario follows in the footsteps of legends like Dino Zoff and his fellow Azzurri teammates, Alex Meret and Ivan Provedel. Much like Amarone della Valpolicella, which improves with age, Vicario has flourished after years in the lower leagues, reaching the pinnacle of his career by keeping goal for Tottenham and the national team.
"My career started from the bottom, from the interregional leagues", he shared in an interview with Vivo Azzurro TV during the national team's latest training camp in Coverciano. "I embarked on a journey that allowed me to gradually climb every step, all the way to Serie A. Moving to the Premier League was the culmination of a dream. I chose to take on a different life and cultural challenge, stepping out of what was my comfort zone".
