Juanfran

Juanfran is the kind of footballer I find easy to respect and easy to overlook, which is precisely the point of a right-back. From Crevillent in Alicante, the 181cm full-back made his living on relentless up-and-down running, defending hard and feeding attacks without ever claiming the spotlight. Spanish football gets celebrated for its midfield magicians, but their artistry only works because someone like Juanfran covers the flank tirelessly. I have a lasting fondness for these unsung grafters; they are the connective tissue of a team, and the game would be poorer, and a lot less balanced, without them.
