My Take
Anthony Annan is exactly the kind of midfielder I cherish. At 175 cm he is not imposing, yet he covers every blade of grass, snuffing out attacks before they breathe. His 2010 Kniksen Award as Norway's midfielder of the year during his Rosenborg days proves an African player can travel to the frozen north and still deliver. He sweated for Ghana on the World Cup stage too. He will never grab the spotlight with flashy goals, but teams run because selfless engines like him exist. I always reserve my loudest applause for these unsung workhorses, and Annan earns every clap.
