Gianpaolo Pizzi

This humble Italian wall combines lightning pace with an aerial presence that terrorizes strikers, though he sometimes clumsily trips over his own feet when calmest. He insists on peeling a single kiwi fruit with his bare fingers before every match, a bizarre ritual that leaves his teammates both confused and slightly unsettled. Despite his eccentric snack break, his defensive dominance makes him the indispensable heartbeat of the backline.
