Cecilio Fariña

With unmatched defensive brilliance and explosive acceleration, this Spanish full-back turns the pitch into an impenetrable wall, though his weakness in aerial duels makes him vulnerable to crosses. He is so obsessed with shutting down opponents that he once famously blocked a waiter’s path at a team dinner just to practice his positioning. His relentless aggression and elite reading of the game make him a nightmare for any forward daring to challenge his flank.
