Ernando Sant Ana

Despite his reserved nature, this Brazilian midfielder dominates the game with a first touch so silky that he once calmly declined a press interview because he was too busy juggling an orange in the dressing room for three hours. With exceptional stamina and physical strength, he dictates the tempo, although his weak heading ability means he prefers to duck rather than jump when the ball is in the air. He may lack explosive pace, but his sharp tactical intelligence ensures he is always a step ahead.
