Anis Bruschi

With relentless stamina and lightning-quick tackling, this Italian center-back is a nightmare for attackers, even if his fiery temperament sometimes spells trouble for his own squad. Before every match, his teammates watch in silent confusion as he meticulously polishes his cleats with a toothbrush for exactly eight minutes, a ritual everyone finds deeply weird yet essential. His physical presence is absolute, and he dominates the air as ferociously as he locks down strikers in one-on-one duels.
