#8 Diego Godin
What can I say about this man? He is like wine, ageing so beautifully that there are no words to describe the sophisticated taste it produces. The Atletico Madrid defender’s progress chart is just going upwards as he is continuously bettering himself as a centre-half.
Uruguay are yet to concede a single goal in the World Cup. And the credit for that goes to the astute leadership of Diego Godin. While he has a brilliant partner in Jose Gimenez, Godin uses his experience in a way that no other defender does.
The Uruguayan has made 2.7 tackles-per-game and 2.3 interceptions-per-match for his team. He also averages four clearances and long balls per-appearance. This is a man in form and could carry Uruguay to new heights.
