Marnix Nijs

After overcoming a severe grass allergy that forced him to train on gravel, this towering Belgian defender has evolved into a wall of steel with blistering pace. His humility masks a fierce determination, turning him into an aerial dominator who is nearly unbeatable in one-on-one situations. Despite occasionally naive defensive positioning, his rare combination of immense physical power and rapid reactions makes him a near-perfect defensive pillar.
