Jonathan dos Santos

Jonathan dos Santos is the kind of player I have a soft spot for. A defensive midfielder from Monterrey, only 172 cm, who still anchored Mexico's national team must rely on positioning, vision and reading the game rather than raw size. Holding midfielders rarely get the spotlight that strikers enjoy, yet the whole machine seizes up without them. Coming from a footballing family adds a poignant sense of inherited destiny. I admire the unglamorous craftsman who does the invisible work that lets flashier teammates shine, and dos Santos reads to me as precisely that. Quiet reliability deserves more respect than it gets.
