Tarek Salman

Tarek Salman is the sort of footballer I keep an eye on: a Qatari center-back anchoring Al Sadd, one of the league's grandest clubs, and a fixture in the national side. Born in 1997, he is right in his prime, and he grew up inside the very era when Gulf football surged onto the world stage. I have a soft spot for the unglamorous craft of defending, the players who quietly snuff out danger while strikers grab the headlines. Backed by a roaring home crowd and throwing his body into the work, a reliable defender like this often turns out to be the true spine of a team.
