My Take
Sami Khedira is the kind of footballer I respect more the longer I watch the game. A 189 cm central midfielder, he was never the highlight-reel name, but he was the engine that winning sides quietly relied on. From the Bundesliga title at his hometown VfB Stuttgart in 2007 to seven trophies at Real Madrid, including the 2014 Champions League, his medal cabinet tells you exactly how valuable he was. I admire players who do the unglamorous work of breaking up play and covering ground. Khedira, German-Tunisian and born in 1987, was that selfless presence, and great teams always seem to have one.
