Stefano Chiari

After a freak bungee-jumping injury threatened his career, this reserved Italian maestro returned to the pitch with a cold-blooded tactical genius that dissects opposing plays before they even begin. His aerial dominance and surgically precise tackling are matched only by his tendency to drift into silence during post-match interviews. He transforms physical recovery into ruthless defensive perfection, serving as the ultimate, albeit quiet, wall of the midfield.
