Tommy Carreras

Towering over attackers with explosive speed and aerial dominance, this flamboyant Argentine defender dominates the backline despite his occasionally erratic temperament. Before every whistle, he insists on loudly reciting 19th-century poetry to his shinguards, leaving his bewildered teammates to stifle their laughter. His raw physical presence and recovery pace make him a defensive nightmare who plays the beautiful game with pure theatrical flair.
