Raúl Ruidíaz

Raúl Ruidíaz is my kind of striker. Standing just 167 cm, nicknamed The Flea, he turned a small frame into an asset, slipping past defenders with close control in a game that usually rewards size. I have always been drawn to athletes who win with craft rather than physical advantage, and a goalscorer who thrives on cunning over reach is exactly that. That he is still competing well into his thirties, back home in Peru, speaks to a stubborn love of the game. He is proof that touch and timing can outlast raw power, and I find that quietly inspiring.
