Emmanuel Más

Más is a defensive chameleon in Argentina’s top flight, operating as a high-volume progressor who blends the rugged aerial dominance of a center-half with the ball-carrying flair of a vintage winger. While many defenders in tier-C sides are content to hack the ball clear, Más demands possession, ranking in the top 30% for passes attempted and interceptions, proving he is as proactive without the ball as he is with it.
