My Take
Janelt is the kind of footballer I quietly admire more than the flashy names. Born in Hamburg, schooled in the HSV and RB Leipzig academies, he earned his stripes the unglamorous way: a breakthrough at Bochum, then a leap to Brentford and the Premier League. Defensive midfielders rarely get the headlines, but they hold teams together, and his journey from Germany to England reads like a study in patience and graft. Born in 1998, he still has his best years ahead. I tend to root for players who win games in the spaces no one watches, and he fits that mould.
