Kléber

Kleber, the Sao Paulo-born left wing-back, plays a role I have a soft spot for. Born in 1980 and standing 177 cm, he spent his career patrolling the most demanding flank, asked to defend and attack in equal measure. Wing-back is a thankless, lung-bursting job, the kind only the genuinely tireless can hold down for ninety minutes. I imagine he blended that Brazilian flair for the ball with the quiet self-sacrifice the position demands. He is retired now, but players like him are the unsung architects of a match. The headline goals get remembered, yet the real work often happens out on that wing.
