Romeo Valdes

After overcoming a complex shoulder injury that nearly ended his career, this reserved Argentinian defensive midfielder channeled that struggle into an engine of relentless defensive precision. With surgical tackling and an uncanny instinct for intercepting the play, he dictates the center of the pitch, even if his occasionally lacking stamina requires him to be a master of efficiency. He prefers to keep to himself, letting his immaculate defensive read of the game do all the talking.
