Ricardo Pereira

Ricardo Pereira is the kind of footballer managers quietly treasure. At 175 cm he is not physically imposing, yet his climb from Vitoria de Guimaraes to Porto and then to the captaincy at Leicester City speaks to relentless reliability. I find full-backs who attack and defend with equal commitment endlessly compelling, because their value rarely shows up in highlight reels. What impresses me most is his resilience, the way he has fought back from serious injury more than once. He is a craftsman rather than a headline-grabber, and I have a real soft spot for that.
