Evgeny Polyakov

This Russian wing-back is a defensive nightmare who combines blistering speed with clinical tackles that leave attackers wondering how the ball vanished from their feet. His intensity borders on the obsessive, reminiscent of his youth days when he relentlessly chased an opponent across the entire pitch just to execute a perfect slide tackle at the sideline. While his aerial ability remains a glaring weakness, his relentless work rate and near-perfect jockeying ensure that he remains a constant threat on the flank.
