My Take
Benjamin Angoua is exactly the kind of defender I rate. A centre-back out of Anyama in Ivory Coast, he's versatile enough to drop into defensive midfield, and he's worn the Elephants' shirt at both the Olympics and the Africa Cup of Nations. Yet he's still grinding away in the French lower leagues rather than coasting on past glory. I have a soft spot for players who make their living at the back, throwing their bodies on the line without the glamour the strikers get. Anyone who can defend reliably for this long earns my trust. A quietly dependable, hard man at the back.
Overview
