Joe Mariani

A true force of nature, this Italian center-back combines an exceptional leap with a boundless aggression that turns every duel into a real battle. Legend has it he was once shown a red card for attempting a perfect slide tackle on a guard dog that wandered onto the pitch during training. Despite his imperial reading of the game, he sometimes struggles to control his temper, which can lead to sluggish reaction times against the most agile strikers.
