My Take
Josip Šutalo is exactly the sort of young defender I like to quietly back. Born in Čapljina in 2000 and now a centre-back at the storied Ajax, he is clearly a talent on the rise. I find his path intriguing: born in Bosnia and Herzegovina yet choosing to represent Croatia, a choice that quietly reflects the region's tangled history. Defenders rarely get the glory, but marshalling the back line demands brains and nerve in equal measure. To hold a central role at an Eredivisie heavyweight this early in a career is impressive, and I will be watching where his composure takes him next.
