Gonzalo Castro

Gonzalo Castro is the sort of dependable midfielder I find easy to appreciate. Born in Wuppertal in 1987, he built a long German career and even earned international caps, which tells me coaches kept trusting him. At 172cm he was on the smaller side, and I always have a soft spot for players who thrive on touch and positioning rather than size. Over 400 Bundesliga matches for Leverkusen, Dortmund, Stuttgart and Bielefeld across a 17-year career is the real story. To me he reads as a quietly reliable professional, the kind of figure every squad needs.
