#2 Branislav Ivanovic
Right-backs are often noted as nippy and quick, and not necessarily for their physical attributes. It says something that a central defender by trade can revert to a right-back position and play as well, if not better, in that role.
Branislav Ivanovic is just that sort of player.At over six feet, the Serb remains extremely mobile for a big manand presents a fearsome presence to any winger who happens to stray into his territory.
Ivanovic is a warrior, plain and simple. He might give out the rough stuff but he can take his fair share too. Unless you happen to bite him of course! Its a mans game after all.
Rarely is he beaten in an aerial battle with his numbers in that regard among the best in the Premier League. It is an attribute that he also uses to remarkable effect at the opposite end of the pitch. Out of the 343 matches hes played for Chelsea, 215 have been in the Premier League, and he has scored 20 goals in those games. The Serbian has two Premier League titles to his name, in addition to 3 FA Cups, 1 Champions League and 1 Europa League.
