Danilo Pereira

Danilo Pereira is one of those players who doesn't get half the credit he deserves, probably because his job is to quietly make everyone else look good. Born in Guinea-Bissau and raised through Benfica's youth system, he ended up representing Portugal at the highest level — including major tournaments — which is already a remarkable story on its own. At 188 cm and built like a wall, he's the kind of defensive midfielder who breaks up play before you even realize the danger was there. Paris Saint-Germain knew what they were doing when they brought him in, and his two Portuguese civil orders are a nice nod to how seriously his country takes what he's contributed. He's a craftsman in a position that rarely gets the spotlight, and that's exactly what makes him worth knowing about.
