My Take
I have always rooted for players like Boateng: defensive midfielders who do the unglamorous work nobody chants about. From Nkawkaw in Ghana he broke through at Feyenoord, then spent his prime grinding out 384 Premier League appearances in England's most physical league, a number that screams durability and discipline. Seventeen goals from that position is almost beside the point; his value was the ground he covered and the play he broke up. That he moved smoothly into coaching after retiring feels right to me, a natural continuation of a player who clearly thinks the game. The unsung engine-room types are exactly my kind of footballer.
