5 world class midfielders who do not get the attention they deserve

#2 Blaise Matuidi

Defensive midfielders just don’t get their due do they? Frenchman Blaise Matuidi has been ever present in the PSG squad since 2011 and he has been one of their most consistent performers.

A master at reading play and making intelligent interceptions, Matuidi has been described as a “fierce and strong” tackler. Matuidi is adept at winning the ball back and starting off his team’s attacks. The Frenchman is also blessed with unbelievable stamina and his runs from midfield often creates space by drawing opponents out of position.

While Marco Verratti runs away with all the plaudits for his midfield performances at PSG, the Frenchman is also equally important and has played an integral role in the Parisian outfit’s rise as a European super club.

The 29-year old is definitely among the top midfielders in world football at the moment.
