Praveen Mathew

This humble Qatari full-back is a defensive wall, shining with pinpoint interceptions and imperial heading ability, even if he occasionally lacks bite in his challenges. To stay focused, he insists on juggling a moldy old lemon in the locker room, a bizarre superstition that leaves his teammates both baffled and amused. On the pitch, he compensates for his gentle temperament with tireless stamina and exceptional reading of the game.
