Josip Iličić

Talking about Josip Iličić, I have to start with the touch. A 190cm attacker born in Prijedor who went on to star for Slovenia, he paired that towering frame with astonishingly delicate feet, and his Atalanta years in Italy produced moments that bordered on the artistic. What moves me beyond the skill is his resilience: clawing up from small clubs to shine in Serie A is far harder than it sounds. He has weathered real adversity as a person, not just a player. That he is still out there playing for Koper back home, competing well into veteran years, earns my deep respect. A wonderful footballer, truly.
