My Take
Edinson Cavani is my idea of the complete striker, and not only because of the goals. Nicknamed El Matador, he combined a poacher's ruthlessness in the box with a defensive work rate most forwards consider beneath them. That blend of cold finishing and relentless graft is genuinely uncommon, and it is why managers across Italy and France trusted him for so long. I also admire the arc: from Danubio in Montevideo to the top of European football, built on sweat as much as gift. He is the kind of player who makes effort look like talent.
