Playing Style

You catch the long ball at the front and hold it while the team climbs the pitch. Reading the defender through your back, your posture survives every hit.Once it's controlled, you lay it off and re-enter the box. The aerial power makes you the first target for every cross as well.The shot is heavy, and the reaction to loose balls quick. The front line's fistfight, taken on alone.The seconds you buy with your back to goal are what let teammates push up without fear.Quick to rebounds too — the second and third attempts are part of the repertoire.

What You're Like

Being needed is your fuel. You dig deeper for others than for yourself, so responsibility makes you stronger, not heavier.

The thankless roles get claimed voluntarily, and the hard parts absorbed in silence. People come to take it for granted; you honestly don't mind. And precisely because you volunteer for the roughest duty, the group's weight settles naturally on you.

The endurance runs long, though, and when the limit arrives you simply go quiet. By the time anyone notices, a great deal has accumulated — an outlet, kept deliberately, is worth having. Those near you have learned the signal: silence means the limit came a while ago.

You put yourself last and register your own condition late; rest happens only when someone insists. Keep one person around who's allowed to be blunt with you, and the form holds. Eating well and sleeping well is, as you know, the one reliable repair. Bad at asking for help, delighted to be leaned on — you are at least wonderfully easy to read.
