Manoel Fontenele

With a flamboyant flair and nearly choreographed slide tackling technique, this Brazilian center-back dominates the box with prodigious leaps and a ferocious tenacity. While his elite tactical IQ allows him to read opposition attacks before they unfold, his unbridled exuberance occasionally leads him into moments of reckless daring. He is an indefatigable presence who turns every defensive clearance into a display of pure showmanship.
