Yusuf Barthel

Towering over attackers with lightning speed, this calm German titan shuts down counter-attacks through clinical, perfectly timed sliding tackles. Haunted by the childhood embarrassment of being rejected by a ballet troupe for his 'lack of grace,' he transformed that frustration into his hallmark ironclad defensive focus. While he can occasionally get tangled up in clumsy footwork, his relentless recovery pace ensures no striker outruns his mission to dominate the pitch.
