Ademar Pinheiro

This reserved Brazilian defensive midfielder dominates in the air and acts as an unshakable force that blocks shots with surgical precision, even if his defensive positioning occasionally falters. Before every match, he insists on carrying an unpeeled lemon in each sock to "sharpen his senses," a bizarre superstition that leaves his teammates shaking their heads in amusement. His explosive strength and jockeying ability make him a defensive wall that no opponent wants to face.
