Despite not being the most technically gifted player, Riadh Bouazizi is a vital part of the Tunisia team; indeed he captained them to the 2006 African Nations Cup, which ended in a quarter-final exit at the hands of Nigeria.

It was Bouazizi's sixth Nations Cup appearance, and he again showed the industrious qualities that characterise his game to good effect.

A defensive midfielder by trade, he can also play in defence due to his strong tackling and sound positional sense.

His workrate and determination set an example to his team-mates, and he is a steady, if unambitious, passer who rarely concedes possession.
