Riad Chaib

Charismatic and relentless, this Algerian powerhouse dominates the midfield with terrifying strength and aerial dominance, though his touch can sometimes betray him in tight spaces. He spent his youth obsessively playing on slick, uneven gravel courts after losing his professional youth contract, a hardship that forged his signature aggressive drive to win every 50-50 challenge. His raw athleticism and magnetic confidence turn every pitch into his own personal arena.
