My Take
Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson is exactly the sort of player coaches quietly cherish. A Reykjavík native at 186 centimeters, he can fill in as a defensive midfielder, a creative one, or a winger, the kind of versatility that wins games without winning headlines. He was central to Iceland's remarkable run on the international stage, which says a great deal about the grit it takes to compete for a tiny island nation. I admire his understated reliability, that Scorpio-like persistence and tactical intelligence. Stars get the spotlight, but utility men like him are usually the last names a manager wants to lose.
