Italo Umpierrez

Standing as an immovable, 190cm tower of granite, he locks down the backline with a cold, reserved intensity and unmatched stamina that wears down any striker. This Uruguayan once famously chased a loose pig off the training pitch for ninety minutes straight just to prove he could, only to return to his defensive duties without breaking a sweat or saying a word. While his heavy-footed acceleration can leave him vulnerable to sudden changes in direction, his tactical awareness and suffocating strength ensure that nothing gets past him for long.
