While it’s already an achievement to try out with a handful of other talented and experienced players from all parts of the globe, what probably sets Paolo apart is the fact that he made it to the national team. All that at 20-years-old.
“Ang tangkad ko kasi eh"
Paolo started playing football when he was 7-years-old at Paref Springdale School. Asked why he chose football over other sports, he said “it was the only club in school."
Coincidence? Maybe. Meant to be? Definitely.
He was a striker until grade seven when his coach realized he had the potential to be a good goalkeeper given his height.
