My Take
José Callejón is my idea of the connoisseur's footballer. Born in Motril, he came through Real Madrid's reserves, made his name at Espanyol, and became a relentless engine on the right wing at Napoli. He was never the flashiest forward, but his tireless up-and-down running and reliable finishing made him the kind of player coaches build around. I have always valued these unglamorous workhorses more than the headline stars. Callejón gave teams a spine and a heartbeat, and I suspect Napoli supporters still chant his name. For me, that quiet, sweat-soaked devotion is the truest form of greatness.
