Ireneo Delgado

This powerhouse Argentine midfield anchor is a physical force who bullies opponents with relentless energy, though his clumsy slide tackling often leaves him catching his breath. To stay focused, he insists on reciting ancient tongue-twisters to the team masseur, a bizarre ritual that has his teammates suppressing fits of laughter before every kickoff. Despite his brutal style on the pitch, he remains a locker-room favorite with his endlessly friendly demeanor.
