Rui Simonnet

This friendly French defensive midfielder dominates the pitch with an incredible leap and fierce aggression, though he sometimes struggles to maintain his pace for the full ninety minutes. He refuses to step onto the turf without tying his laces in exactly twelve knots, a quirk that has his teammates shaking their heads in amusement while he focuses. Once he turns on his speed, he is an unstoppable defensive force, delivering bone-crushing slide tackles and owning the air.
