Mirko Morra

With masterful game reading and flawless jockeying, this Italian defender turns every duel into a tactical dance, though he tends to clumsily trip over the ball when under pressure. I will never forget when he once stopped a three-on-one counter-attack during a youth tournament using nothing but his reassuring smile and a perfectly timed tackle that left his opponents stunned. His footballing mind is elite, even if his sluggish acceleration remains a recurring flaw.
