Tahar Poulain

This French defensive midfielder is an assertive force of nature, combining elite game intelligence with explosive pace to shut down any attack in its tracks. Local legend says that back in his youth days, he once earned a red card simply for staring down an opposing striker with such intensity that the forward gave up on the play entirely. While he is an absolute master of the tackle, his stamina can occasionally dip during the closing stages of a grueling match.
