Hernâni José da Rosa

Hernâni reframes my lazy assumptions about Brazilian footballers. From Santa Catarina and standing 191 cm, he made his living not as a flair attacker but as a central defender, and that height alone must lend a back line real calm. Shutting down opposing stars is thankless, unglamorous work, but anyone who watches closely knows its value. Born in 1984, he reads as a seasoned craftsman who has seen the highs and lows of the game. I'm firmly on the side of the unsung defender, and Hernâni deserves the spotlight more than the box-score suggests.
