Salim Khaldi

After struggling with a rare condition that nearly left him unable to walk as a child, this stoic Algerian tower transformed that trauma into a ruthless, unbreakable defensive intensity. He is a wall of raw strength and tactical genius who times every tackle and header with surgical precision, though his steady movement can occasionally be exposed by lightning-fast wingers. Reserved off the pitch but explosive on it, he dominates the aerial duels to anchor his backline with ironclad focus.
