Javier Balboa – Right Midfielder – Equatorial Guinea

Though he was formed in Real Madrid’s Castilla, and he spent some time with the first team and champions Benfica, many analysts overlooked Balboa’s quality. The attacking midfielder, who now plies his trade at Estoril, was fantastic from the opening ceremony on. Nzalang Nacional had but one real tactic in attack: ‘Get the ball to Balboa in open space and let him operate.’ He was not exactly creating scoring opportunities at will (two of his three goals were penalty kicks), but his all around play was sublime.
