My Take
Merih Demiral embodies the kind of centre-back I instinctively trust. At 192 centimetres and still young, he already anchors both Turkey and a Saudi Pro League side, which tells me his composure outruns his age. I have a soft spot for defenders, the unglamorous craftsmen who win matches with a decisive header or a perfectly timed cover. Demiral plays with visible fire, and I think that emotional edge is his signature. Defenders who care that intensely tend to drag teammates up to their level. For me, he is exactly the sort of player you want shielding a fragile lead.
