Alassane Amadou

A compact powerhouse of lightning acceleration and ferocious physicality, he dominates the flank with unrelenting defensive tenacity despite his frustratingly wayward aerial heading. He insists on perfectly buttering his left boot sole before every match, a quirky ritual that leaves his bewildered teammates constantly ducking to avoid greasy stud marks on the locker room carpet. His charismatic authority on the pitch turns him into an impossible defensive force that defines world-class play.
