My Take
I have a soft spot for players like Taulant Xhaka, the ones who do the unglamorous work. At 172 cm he was never built to dazzle, so he made his living winning the ball and breaking up play as a defensive midfielder. His choice to represent Albania rather than Switzerland speaks to a pride in his roots that I genuinely respect. Forever a little overshadowed by his famous brother, he stayed loyal to Basel and now passes on his craft as a manager. That grafter's spirit, and his second act in the dugout, earn my admiration.
