Abbes Khelifa

This Algerian center-back is an impenetrable wall who lives to humiliate strikers with surgical interceptions and towering headers, even though his defensive awareness is chaotic enough to keep any manager on edge. He is so flamboyant that he was once spotted filing his nails with his cleats during a defensive corner just to distract the opponent. With immense strength, he dominates the box with a theatrical elegance that turns the gritty job of defending into a purely flamboyant performance.
