Thorbjörn Rosengren

This reserved Swedish defensive rock operates with surgical precision in one-on-one situations and an explosive acceleration that leaves attackers chasing shadows. Beyond his brilliant defensive IQ, fans still talk about the time he froze an opposing striker for fifteen minutes just by staring him down until the man simply surrendered in terror. His only real flaw is a flickering stamina that makes him look like he desperately needs a nap well before the final whistle.
