Andrea Moretti

**Andrea Moretti** (モレッティ・アンドレア , *Moretti Andorea*) is a professional football player who currently plays as left back for Montmartre FC and the Italy National team.

## Appearance

Moretti has mid-length, slicked back hair. He is quite tall and has a sturdy build.

## Personality

Moretti has a laid-back yet scheming personality and is considered a "provocation expert" by many. He would actively provoke others and is unrelenting when dishing out snide remarks. However, Moretti is kinder and more genuine than what his exterior image conveys. After realising he has overstepped a line, Moretti seeks out and apologises to his teammates about the provocation. Later on, proving that while he is a "provocation expert," sportsmanship is still important to him.

Moretti is also shown to be a highly observant and intuitive person when it comes to both football and other people. He quickly tracks down and analyses every move of the wingers, allowing him to put up a successful defence and destroy the momentum of the opposing team.

## Abilities

### Archetype

* **Libero**: The libero or sweeper is a more versatile type of defender that sweeps up the ball if the opponent manages to break the defensive line. Their position is rather more fluid than other defenders who mark their designated opponents. Sweepers are usually faster than that of the other players on the team. The sweeper's ability to read the game is even more vital than for a centre-back; they also are usually confident on the ball and possess good passing and vision, as they are often responsible for starting plays from the back-line.

### Skills

**Spatial Awareness:** Moretti has an incredibly large field of view, being able to take into account the conditions of every player in front of him. It's been noted that even though Moretti was not actively marking a player, he was able to intercept a pass to him, because he was able to adjudge his opponents speed, as well as the source of the pass and the positions of every player. This wide field of view enables him to detect any threats to his team and react instantly predicting any movements or surprise plays.

**Dominant Physicality:** Moretti also has an incredible physique which enables him to perform high level plays without issue. His strength lets him subdue powerful attackers such as Ryusei Shido. His strength is also demonstrated in his jumping ability, being able to reach great heights to intercept the ball. In addition to this, Moretti moves across the pitch with incredible speed, being able to sweep up any loose balls and cover defensive holes left by his team, as well as retreat to the center when needed.

**Immense Speed:** Moretti has naturally strong leg muscles and expert footwork, which enables him to run down the field at incredible speeds. He is considered to be the fastest player in his team and only players with immense speed, like Julian Loki can compete with him. His speed is widely considered his defining weapon, being able to explosively take off from a neutral position and reach top speed very quickly. This speed is so devastating that most professional players have no chance to react, despite him being directly in front of them. In addition to this acceleration, he has the endurance to maintain this speed for an extended duration. This speed, combined with his perception and awareness of positioning enables him to choose the appropriate breakthrough point in an opponent's defence and to speed through.

* **Explosive Acceleration:** Moretti's explosive acceleration is a powerful weapon in his arsenal. With his quick reactions and incredible acceleration, he can react to any movement his opponent makes and intercept them.
* **High-Speed Pressure:** Moretti uses his speed in a defensive manner, by quickly moving across the field to hound whoever is in possession of the ball. This pressure can force errors in opponent's and easily allows his team to set up traps. However, this tactic is incredibly draining on Moretti's stamina, as he cannot run for a long period of time.

**Reflex:** On top of his high spatial awareness, Moretti also has the reflex to immediately determine where the greatest threat to the goal is and the physical ability to go there without hesitation. It is the combination of this reflex and spatial awareness that makes Moretti such an effective defender, as he not only sees all positions of every player at once, but he also moves immediately (often ahead of the strikers) to intercept the ball.

* **Total Defense:** By combining his speed, reflex and spatial awareness, Moretti is able to predict, react to and intercept any ball played into the defensive third, acting as a critical safeguard in the Montmartre defensive line up.
