Mario Ochoa

After overcoming a severe grass allergy that prevented him from playing as a child, this Guatemalan center-back has become a silent force of nature, dominating the penalty area with ruthless aggression and masterful defensive instincts. Despite some clunkiness in his stand tackles, his imposing frame and towering leap make him an impenetrable wall. His fierce dedication was forged during those years spent watching from the sidelines, turning him into the granite-like pillar who anchors the defense today.
