My Take
Jose Rodolfo Pires Ribeiro, known simply as Dodo, is a Brazilian left-back, and that detail alone earns my affection. Left-back is the unglamorous engine room of football, demanding you sprint up and down the flank for ninety minutes with little credit. Born in Campinas in football-mad Sao Paulo, he clearly grew up steeped in the game. At 177 cm he is not towering, which tells me he competes on technique and tireless legs rather than brute size. I always find myself rooting for the workhorses, the players who do the thankless overlapping runs, and Dodo strikes me as exactly that kind of honest professional.
