Riad Nasr

This Tunisian defensive midfielder dominates the pitch with intimidating raw power and an unshakeable attitude, although his sliding tackle technique often leaves much to be desired. It is said he once refused to pass the ball during an entire training session just to prove he could dribble past the whole squad backwards. With brilliant defensive positioning and a confidence that borders on arrogance, he doesn't just protect the backline, but dictates the tempo with authoritative ferocity.
