Fernand de Groote

This fiery Belgian defensive anchor dominates the midfield with explosive hops and brutal tackling, though he often misjudges aerial crosses. He insists on eating a single chilled cucumber slice precisely three minutes before kickoff to stay grounded, a bizarre ritual his teammates have learned to endure with confused shrugs. His defensive instincts remain absolute, turning the pitch into a suffocating arena for any attacker brave enough to challenge him.
