My Take
I have a soft spot for anchormen like Salis Abdul Samed. A Ghanaian defensive midfielder grinding away in France's Ligue 1, he plays the unglamorous role of breaking up play and recycling possession, the spine work that lets the stars shine. Born in 2000, he still has his prime ahead, and carrying the Ghana national shirt adds a weight strikers rarely feel. My guess is he favors steadiness over spectacle, winning the ball and moving it on without fuss. Players like this are chronically underrated, and I'd happily see the spotlight swing toward the men holding the middle together.
Overview
