Towering and remarkably humble, this defensive powerhouse blends frightening recovery pace with an aggressive, crunching tackling style that leaves strikers trembling. He famously insists on meticulously re-tying his laces exactly twelve times before kickoff, a quirky ritual his teammates silently tolerate despite the inevitable dressing room delays. While his ball distribution can be frustratingly poor, his pure physical dominance and aerial dominance make him an absolute fortress.
