My Take
Gabriel Paulista is the kind of centre-back I genuinely admire. At 187 cm and born in Fortaleza, he defies the lazy stereotype of the flamboyant Brazilian defender; he's a composed, no-nonsense last line. His path fascinates me: titles with Vitoria, a Copa do Brasil final, then the leap to Europe before returning home to Corinthians. That arc speaks of grit and adaptability, the Sagittarian willingness to start over in a new land. Defenders rarely get the headlines, but I value the ones who simply make a back line feel safe, and Paulista has spent his career being exactly that.
