Roberto Soldado

What strikes me about Roberto Soldado is how cruelly the math of a giant club can read on paper. Twenty-seven matches and four goals for Real Madrid undersells a striker who, in my view, was always a finisher in search of the right stage. At 179 cm he was never the towering number nine; he won with positioning, timing and that quiet instinct in the box that scouts call clever and fans simply call goals. I have a soft spot for these understated Spanish forwards who do their best work away from the spotlight. Soldado deserves to be remembered for more than a youth-system footnote.
