Playing Style

A defender built to erase the player in front of you. Your control of distance is exquisite — the attacker's freedom is gone before their move has taken shape.In physical duels you give not an inch, and at the last step you rake away only the ball. Beaten once, you stay in it, chasing down and winning it back at the second attempt.Rather than covering ground, you settle matches by deleting the one opponent you've been given.The longer the defending goes on, the sharper your focus — long spells under pressure are where you're at your best.

Defensive Sense 95 is top of this entire list. Paired with Stamina 82, the shape assumes a second chase — beaten once, you win it back.

What You're Like

A promise made is a promise kept, whatever happens — and you quietly hold others to the same bar. Leaving things vague makes you uncomfortable, so your confirmation messages run a little frequent.

The moment something becomes a contest, your eyes change — video games, table tennis, all played to win. Losses are followed by a quiet review and a plan to never lose that way again. You don't coast in practice either, so everyone around you finds their own standards pulled upward.

With your own people, though, you're astonishingly soft — a junior colleague's problem gets as much time as it needs. Stubborn on the surface, soft-hearted underneath, unable to refuse anyone who leans on you. Only talk of favourite food loosens the expression. And for all the strictness, you usually phrase things so the other person keeps an exit.

You don't impose your standards on others; in exchange, the one line you won't move stays exactly where it is. Keep that line intact and you're easy company — surprisingly simple, really. On a day off, running through a planned session settles you more than resting does.
