My Take
I have a real weakness for towering center-backs, and Dorin Goian fits the mold perfectly. Born in Suceava, Romania, the 194 cm defender anchored the heart of defenses, won a Sport Merit Medal, and battled across the European stage with the Romanian national team. Just imagining him rising to clear high balls is reassuring. Now back on the touchline as a manager, he embodies a truth I hold dear: defenders never get the glamour that strikers do, but there is enormous value in the quiet work of keeping the score at zero. The last line of defense always earns my deepest trust.
