Vlastislav Novák

After conquering his childhood fear of the dark by training alone under the Bohemian pines, this Czech midfielder turns every match into an acrobatic display, gluing the ball to his feet with magnetic skill. Despite a lack of top-end pace and quick-draining stamina, his ferocious aggression and elite touch allow him to command the pitch with clinical precision. He is a reserved figure who channels his past struggles into a quiet, relentless brilliance every time he gains possession.
