Laurent Abergel

I have a soft spot for the unglamorous engine room of football, and Laurent Abergel embodies it. At 170 cm he is no towering figure, yet he has carved out a durable career as a defensive midfielder, the player who quietly snuffs out attacks and recycles the ball so others can shine. Born in Marseille, a city famous for its fiery temperament, he became the calm metronome of a midfield instead, which I find rather poetic. Lorient is not a club that grabs headlines, and neither is his role, but teams simply do not function without players like him. The understated craftsman gets my vote every time.
