My Take

What draws me to Morgan Amalfitano is the quiet persistence of his career. A midfielder from Nice who grafted his way through Cannes, Sedan, Lorient and Marseille before crossing the Channel to West Brom and West Ham is no overnight star, he is a craftsman who earned every minute. His single France cap, won in a friendly back in 2012, almost feels like a footnote, yet I find it strangely moving. I admire players like this far more than the headline-grabbers. They build careers on consistency and grit, and at 176 cm in a giant's game, that says plenty about the man.
