Djamal Giraud

This French midfielder, whose unshakeable calm was forged after overcoming severe stage fright early in his career, reads the game like he’s predicting the future with his precise interceptions. Although his defensive discipline and aerial prowess are elite, he often forgets to track long balls, allowing pacey rivals to find space behind him. He is an imperturbable rock in the middle who uses his agility to stifle attacks before they even get going.
