Paulo Freitag

Fuelled by the humiliation of being cut from his youth team for his lack of acceleration, this assertive German wall has mastered the art of elite jockeying to negate any pace advantage. His aggression and masterful tackling turn him into an unmovable fortress, though he struggles when forced to sprint out of his defensive comfort zone. He plays with the intensity of a man determined to ensure no attacker ever underestimates him again.
