India’s only goalkeeper at Tokyo 2020 came across as an animated player, bringing off saves, shouting encouragement. The face behind the mask turned into a scowl when defenders committed mistakes.

Adrian D’Souza had visited fellow goalkeeper P Sreejesh’s house in 2016. He will need to make a repeat visit this year and is overjoyed at the thought of watching the reaction on a former junior teammate’s face. “I dropped in at Sreejesh’s home in Kerala when he was chosen for the Rio Olympics,” revealed the Mumbai-based custodian who excelled for Bombay Republicans, Air India Academy and later on for India at the 2004 Athens Olympics. “When his wife asked me when I would visit again, I had promised to return to Kerala the moment he came back with a medal from the Olympics. The time has come to keep that promise.”
