Jostein Nordby

This Norwegian defensive dynamo patrols the midfield with unparalleled jockeying skill and raw strength, though his fiery temper occasionally costs him with reckless fouls. Once, in a heated youth match, he stopped a breakaway by tackling the opponent into the perimeter fence just to protect his clean sheet. He combines explosive speed with an intense defensive mindset that turns every ball-carrying attacker into a desperate runaway.
