Francis Ishimwe

This Rwandan center-back is an explosive defensive force, pairing elite aerial dominance and blistering sprint speed to cover for his occasionally hesitant defensive decision-making. He maintains focus by chewing exactly three different flavored gums before kickoff, a bizarre ritual that leaves teammates perpetually guessing what flavor he will choose next. With his brute strength and lethal slide tackles, he patrols the pitch like it is his own personal playground.
