JPL Goalkeeper: Teklak Names Top Performer | Football News

Alexandre Teklak has put together his team of the year. What is particularly striking is the choice of the goalkeeper, who, according to him, was the most constant factor of 2025.

Bruges dominance in the team of the year

For the composition of his 2025 team, Teklak looked at individual strengths within the competition. The squad includes several players from Club Brugge, which he believes illustrates the impact of their core. Union is only represented by one player, highlighting their collective strength.

Within that context, the goalkeeper position clearly emerges. Teklak sees Colin Coosemans as the most stable choice of the past year. According to him, his performance and regularity made the difference.

Coosemans was described by Teklak as someone who makes few mistakes and is rarely injured. “He is the most regular, the one who makes the fewest mistakes, even though he has made some recently, and also the least injured,” said La Dernière Heure.

Coosemans’ role at Anderlecht

According to Teklak, Coosemans fits perfectly with Anderlecht’s current needs. His breakthrough came at a time when the team needed stability. Despite the fact that he did not always have the support of management or trainers, the analyst adds, he still managed to persevere.

Teklak emphasized that Coosemans has a different profile than many modern goalkeepers. “He is a bit smaller, but can stand out excellently at the feet, something you see less and less.” According to him, this quality makes him particularly valuable in a team that is often under pressure.

Teklak also pointed out the mental role of the goalkeeper. “In a team under pressure, he had to take on certain responsibilities without it going to his head.” His balanced attitude and ability to mediate within the group are seen as important assets.
