Jáchym Benda

This Czech center-back is a master of the duel thanks to sublime aerial timing and surgical tackling, though his lack of speed forces him to rely heavily on elite defensive positioning. Rumor has it that as a boy, he learned to intercept passes by standing motionless in deep snow for hours, mirroring the silent, reserved focus he brings to the pitch today. Despite not having raw physical power, his impeccable reading of the game makes him an impassable wall.
