My Take
A Spanish centre-back from the Barcelona area carries a certain expectation, that defending will be paired with composure on the ball, and Víctor Ruiz fits that mold for me. At 184 cm he had the frame to dominate aerially, but players raised in that footballing culture tend to read the game rather than merely clear it. Centre-half is the least glamorous, most thankless post on the pitch; the strikers get the headlines while defenders absorb the pressure. I have a soft spot for that unshowy work. There is a quiet dignity in spending a career protecting a goal, and Ruiz strikes me as exactly that sort of dependable professional.
