My Take
Miquel Soler is the kind of footballer I genuinely admire. A left-back from Girona who racked up 652 competitive matches across two La Liga decades, he embodies the unglamorous longevity that wins my respect. The detail that floors me is that he is the only player to have turned out for both Barcelona and Real Madrid, Spanish football's great rivals; you do not earn that twice without elite quality and real character. A Euro 1988 cap rounds out a serious career. I prefer the dependable defender to the flashy star, and his move into coaching feels like a natural, principled next chapter.
