Karlheinz Bräuer

With blinding acceleration and surgical slide tackling, this reserved German wingback turns his flank into an impossible barrier. He still recalls as a youth player how he once slide-tackled straight through an advertising hoarding just to beat a teammate to a ball, even though it wasn't even a match situation. While his defensive reading is masterful, he avoids aerial duels at all costs because he firmly believes the ball belongs at his feet.
