Carles Puyol.
Played CB for Barca, but could also plate fullback or RB; and always went forward to assist with attacks
At youth level he started as a GK, then switching to a forward due to a shoulder injury.
At La Masia, he switched from forward to defensive midfielder. And eventually to a more permanent defensive role
But at every level, no matter what position he played, Puyol was the heart of the team almost always becoming Captain
IMO, he embodies the total-football mentality of a gritty defender. A true pleasure to watch
Exactly. He is by nature a humble and shy guy. And doesn’t feel comfortable doing interviews - he did a couple of talks with Kun, and his personality comes out.
But, nothing wrong with someone just going about their business, doing their job and spending the rest of his time with his family in private
