Soumanou Lafia

Towering above every aerial duel with an unstoppable leap and rock-solid strength, this calm Beninese defender transforms every challenge into a masterclass of defensive poise. Despite being born with a hearing impairment that forced him to sharpen his spatial awareness and non-verbal reading of the game, his physical dominance and ruthless tackling make him a nightmare for any striker. He remains a serene guardian of the box, though he often struggles to anticipate plays before they develop, leaving him slightly vulnerable to quick-thinking attackers.
