My Take
Jay Idzes is one of the more compelling stories in current football for me, less because of trophies and more because of identity. A Dutch-born centre-back who captains Indonesia, he climbed methodically from FC Eindhoven through Go Ahead Eagles, earning promotion, all the way up to Serie A with Sassuolo. That is the trajectory of a grinder, not a wonderkid handed everything. At 190 centimetres and born in 2000, he still has his prime ahead of him, and I suspect he will become an important bridge between European and Asian football as his international captaincy grows.
