Naldo Neves

This 193 cm Brazilian powerhouse combines explosive speed with a fiery aggression that intimidates every attacker on the pitch. After overcoming a bizarre thigh injury sustained during an ill-fated capoeira kick, he channeled his frustration into a relentless drive that perfected his defensive blocking skills. While he can occasionally lack patience in one-on-one duels, his ferocious work ethic makes him an insurmountable wall at the back.
