Sauro Marchi

This Italian center-back is a relentless force of nature, combining explosive pace with a fierce aggression that intimidates any striker. His friendly off-pitch demeanor vanishes when the whistle blows, like that time he calmed an irate fan with a hug before single-handedly stopping three counter-attacks. Despite occasional lapses in his defensive positioning, he compensates with monumental jumping reach and clinical slide tackles that command the backline.
