Boris Marchini

This friendly Italian iron-man is known for his blistering recovery speed and pinpoint standing tackles, though his abysmal heading ability can sometimes leave his backline exposed. After a bizarre injury tearing his hamstring while trying to do a handstand, he channeled that agony into a relentless drive that made him a fierce, indomitable presence on the pitch. He defends with a smile, but tackles with the ferocity of a player who has already conquered his greatest obstacles.
