Attributes

An agile and sprightly goalkeeper in addition to being a penalty specialist, Armel was Gazelle's first choice penalty taker, following in the footsteps of other goal-scoring 'keepers such as Brazilian Rogério Ceni, Vincent Enyeama of Hapoel Tel Aviv and Nigeria, Hans-Jörg Butt of FC Bayern Munich and José Luis Chilavert, formerly of Paraguay. Armel has scored 11 goals for Gazelle, all of them penalty kicks; however his penalty taking privileges did not extend to the Chad national football team, for whom he has 14 caps,[2] with Misdongard Betoligar occupying the role for the Sao.
