Ismael Aranha

This Portuguese engine is an immovable wall whose physical dominance often leaves opponents bruised, even if he is nearly immobile when starting from a standstill. He still recalls how, as a youth player, he refused to swap shirts with a rival for so long that the player ended up crying out of pure frustration. Despite his lack of acceleration, he compensates with unrelenting aggression and a defensive intelligence that suffocates every attacking attempt.
