Roberto Sensini

Roberto Sensini is the kind of defender I always appreciated more in hindsight than in the moment. Born in Arroyo Seco in 1966, he anchored Argentina's back line as a centre-back or defensive midfielder across three straight World Cups in 1990, 1994 and 1998, plus a third-place run at the 1989 Copa America. The runner-up finish in 1990 stands out to me, because reaching a World Cup final usually rests on exactly his kind of unglamorous, reliable defending. That he later moved into management feels natural for a player whose value was in reading the game. A quietly substantial career rather than a flashy one.
