Analysis overview
Mele is a composed goalkeeper who stays square to the ball and keeps his positioning disciplined. He reads danger early, sets himself cleanly, and handles the routine moments with the kind of quiet assurance that helps a defence breathe. His value is in his economy: secure hands, sensible decisions, and a steady presence when the game turns tense.
