Frederik Hornung

This German defensive midfielder dominates the pitch with surgical tackling precision and ruthless anticipation, despite his limited stamina. Legend has it he once snuffed out a counter-attack by predicting the pass trajectory so perfectly that he trapped the ball with his chest and handed it to the referee before his opponent could even react. His assertive mentality compensates for his lack of focus on slide tackles, making him an imposing wall that dictates the defensive rhythm.
