My Take
Steven Nzonzi is the kind of footballer I find quietly fascinating: a 196 cm defensive midfielder whose value lives in the spaces between the highlights. From Amiens to Blackburn and onward across Europe, his career is a study in reliability over flash, the unglamorous craft of breaking up play and holding a midfield's shape. Players like him rarely get the headlines, yet teams collapse without them. The 2018 Legion of Honour hints at a year that meant something larger for France. I have a soft spot for the unshowy anchors who make everyone around them better.
