Hamza Ahmed

With explosive pace that leaves defenders in the dust, this Bahraini wing-back is a composed defensive wall, even if his heading ability remains virtually non-existent. He clears his mind before kick-off by balancing a die on his nose for thirty seconds, a ritual that always leaves his teammates shaking their heads in silent bewilderment. Despite the odd superstition, his world-class tackling and composure make him an essential engine for the squad.
