Joshua Espinosa

With an angelic first touch that seems to freeze time, this Filipino maestro dictates the rhythm while gliding across the pitch with unsettling calm. He fondly recalls childhood days spent dodging market vendors in Manila while dribbling a piece of fruit until he was chased out for his audacity. Despite his clinical brilliance, his stamina is a glaring weakness and he avoids heading the ball as if it were a scorching hot potato.
