Sandro Cocco

An imposing Italian defensive general, he patrols the pitch with ferocious strength and a masterclass in aerial dominance, though his somewhat lumbering top-end speed can occasionally leave him exposed. He insists on balancing a single unpeeled clove of garlic on his nose for three minutes before every kickoff, a bizarre ritual that has his teammates alternating between genuine fear and stifled laughter. Despite this strange quirk, his relentless engine and impeccable timing in the tackle make him the heartbeat of the defense.
