Farhod Kovalenko

After overcoming a childhood where he had to fight stray dogs for his food, he channeled that raw grit into a calm, unshakable determination on the pitch. He is an explosive fullback who combines world-class heading and brute strength with almost unstoppable speed, though his inconsistent reading of the game remains his notable weakness. His mastery of jockeying and contained aggression make him an imposing yet perfectly composed defensive anchor.
