Adilson Bartolomeu

This Angolan center-back combines raw physical strength and exceptional aerial timing with a humble demeanor that hides his ferocious competitive nature. After overcoming a complex wrist injury sustained during an absurd attempt to climb a burning building, he channeled that experience to fuel his rise to defensive elite. Though his stamina occasionally crumbles under extreme pressure, he remains a formidable, albeit sometimes clumsy, wall at the heart of the defense.
