Saúl

Saúl is one of those midfielders I have always respected more than the highlight reels suggest. Coming up through Atlético Madrid's academy and racking up over 300 appearances takes a rare blend of loyalty and grit, and his ability to slot in as a box-to-box engine or even a left-back tells you everything about his football intelligence. What intrigues me most is his recent leap to Flamengo in Brazil. Walking away from a familiar European stage into the sheer heat of South American football takes courage. He is the kind of selfless, hard-running professional who quietly becomes the spine of any serious side.
