Julio César Cáceres

I have a soft spot for defenders who do the unglamorous work, and Julio César Cáceres is exactly that kind of player. Anchoring Paraguay's backline across the 2002, 2006 and 2010 World Cups is no small feat; that is roughly a decade of being trusted to face the world's best forwards. To me, the most telling detail is his move into coaching. Centre-backs who turn manager tend to bring a hard-earned, organizational view of the game, and I suspect he carries that quiet discipline into the dugout. He is the sort of figure casual fans overlook but teammates never forget.
