Mario Hermoso Canseco

Mario Hermoso is exactly the kind of defender I find underrated. A left-footed centre-back who came up through Real Madrid's academy, made his name at Espanyol, then spent five seasons and 174 games at Atletico Madrid under Diego Simeone, winning the 2020-21 La Liga title. Surviving Simeone's brutal defensive demands says everything about his temperament. He doesn't grab headlines the way strikers do, but a ball-playing left-sided centre-half is a rare commodity, and his move to Roma shows he still has value at the top level. I have a soft spot for players who win by being solid rather than flashy.
