My Take

Júnior Baiano fascinates me precisely because his nickname is his hometown. A 192-cm centre-back out of Feira de Santana in Bahia, he carried his region's name onto the pitch and built his game on the unfashionable art of stopping people. I have a soft spot for the defenders who do the dirty work while the strikers collect the glory, and a towering stopper like him is the backbone a team is built on. That he later moved into coaching feels fitting to me: a man who lived by the discipline of defending now passing that philosophy to the next generation.
