My Take
Centre-backs rarely get the love they deserve, which is exactly why Oswaldo Alanis interests me. Born in Morelia, a city steeped in music and history, he became a defender whose job is the unglamorous work of breaking up other people's dreams. At 182 cm he is built to win duels in the air, and I imagine him as the calm anchor at the back that managers quietly rely on. I tend to root for the steady over the spectacular, and a Mexican defender who keeps engaging with fans online while doing the dirty work strikes me as precisely my kind of footballer to follow.
