Mariano Pernía

Mariano Pernia is one of those players I enjoy precisely because he defies his position. A left back who scored ten La Liga goals in a single season with Getafe is doing something most defenders never approach, and his rise from Independiente to Atletico Madrid, eventually earning a Spain call-up as an Argentine-Spaniard, speaks to real ambition. What I love most is the second act: trading the pitch for a race car. That tells me his appetite for speed and competition was never really about football, just about attacking whatever was in front of him.
