Nicolás González Iglesias

Nico González intrigues me precisely because he occupies the least flashy, most demanding role on the pitch. To rise from A Coruña to Manchester City, anchoring midfield for a Guardiola side, is no small feat for a player born in 2002. Defensive midfielders rarely get headlines, but those who read the game and recycle possession quietly are the ones connoisseurs treasure. I suspect there is real growth ahead of him, and I enjoy watching the unglamorous engine-room work he is asked to do. He feels like a player whose value will only become obvious in hindsight.
