Julian Baumgartlinger

Julian Baumgartlinger is exactly the kind of player I find easy to root for. A Salzburg-born Austrian midfielder who sat in the deep, defensive role, he was the unglamorous engine who broke up play and kept the team ticking rather than chasing highlights. Players like him rarely top the headlines, but anyone who watches closely knows a side falls apart without that steady heartbeat in midfield. He even wore the captain's armband for his country, which tells you how much teammates trusted him. Now that he has hung up his boots, I just want to quietly tip my hat to a genuinely useful footballer.
