A mustache, a dense, copious, impenetrable black mane kept in order by its own thickness. A hair that ate his face and seemed capable of breaking the bristles of the comb that dared to try to tame him. Gregorio Benito Rubio . A lion. a cyclone A fast, tough, unforgiving, "racial" central defender. A man from a single club, Real Madrid, with whom he won six league titles and five cups. A historical. A myth. Goyo Benito.

Born in Puente del Arzobispo (Toledo) on October 21, 1946, he arrived in Madrid in August 1964, at the age of 17, from the Salesians of Atocha and El Sabio. Physically it was a hurricane and a rock. The club loaned him to Rayo Vallecano and incorporated him into the first team in 1969 to discuss the position with Pedro de Felipe and Fernando Zunzunegui. He made his debut, however, as a left back on October 26, 1969 against Real Sociedad. His bandmate was, already 36 years old and with six European Cups, Gento , whom the young debutant treated with due obedience and reverential respect. "Short and to the foot, kid." "As you say, Don Francisco." Little by little he gained the trust of Miguel Muñoz (he liked his courage to go out to the crossroads, the aggressiveness with which he played and made himself respected by the opposing forwards) , until he won the starting role in the 1971-72 season. He took the position from his friend De Felipe, which led to some pique. In that decade of the seventies he gained fame, encouraged by himself, of being the "most wood-burning center-back in Spanish football". His way of playing, open and always risking the most, led him to undergo five knee operations, two nose operations and one tibia operation. Icon for many (they chanted 'Benito take out the axe' or 'Benito kills') he retired in 1982, with six Leagues, five Cups won and 22 caps, although he did not attend the World Cup in Argentina 78'. The pleas of Biri Biri, a Sevilla player, who in a match, and due to the fouls he was receiving, turned to the Madrid player and snapped at him: “Please, Mr. Benito, don't hit me any more! !”. Or his impressive header against Porto that gave the Whites a pass in 1979. His dream was to retire having scored a decisive goal for Madrid. And that one was. He celebrated eleven titles in official competitions with Real Madrid, six in the League and another five in the Cup, and he always regretted not winning the European Cup. His iron markings were famous, such as when he annulled Gerd Torpedo Muller in a Spain-Germany duel in the long-awaited Sarriá.

His athleticism made him one of the best central defenders of his time. He had extraordinary physical strength and never shirked a challenge, which led to some memorable encounters with centre forwards. Difficult and tough marker for forwards, physical wonder, with huge jumps, he made himself respected with his power and toughness. He was a very fast defender, very forceful, very difficult to beat man to man. Benito did not show off outstanding technical skills. He didn't get the ball clean or excel in passes and crosses. But he went to intersections like lightning and, although of average height, he displayed a powerful head jump. He was rude. He was brave. He was elastic. He had a sense of anticipation. He was clearly a centre-back. A stopper. Despite his jumping power, Benito only scored three goals in his 420 official matches for Madrid. He used his head exclusively for defence, perhaps because he did not combine skill with force. He did not usually go to corner kicks. He was a pure defensive centre back.

Without technical excellence, his firmness and forcefulness as a defender made him one of the last exponents of the so-called "Spanish fury" and to be considered one of the best central defenders of his time. Hacha Brava - They nicknamed him like this because of his iron marking and sometimes his hard tackles, always fulfilling the maxim "pass the ball or pass the player, but never both together".

International:
Benito was an absolute international on 22 occasions. He did not get to play a World Cup. According to him, he was dismissed by Kubala to go to Argentina "because there were already too many Madrid players.." His debut was on 9 May 1971 in a 2–0 away win against Cyprus in the UEFA Euro 1972 qualifiers, but he would never take part in any major international tournament as the national team failed to qualify for any during that timeframe. Additionally, Benito was part of the squad at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico, playing all the matches for the eventual quarter-finalists.

Goyo Benito: Tough, but fair

Qué jugador el Goyo!!!

Indeed, Goyo was a force of nature!

Aggression in old PES stats system has nothing to do with how "aggressive" a player was on the pitch, it affects how frequently a player goes forward during the match. Someone like Benito who focussed on defending mainly and staying in his own half, he should have low 60s value for AGG as maximum (after all you also rated him with 57 for ATT). If you want to emphatize his fighting spirit where he's mainly famous for, then MEN could be raised.
Also I don't know if he needs 90 for HEA. Orange value for HEA should IMO be given to guys who frequently scored with headers and were specialists in placing the ball with their head. Even with mid-yellow value for HEA and 92 for JUM a player can win most of his duels in the air and that seems more "realistic" for a player that usually just headed crosses/corners out of his box.

Great feedback, tnx a lot gurkenjoe! I've got a ton of players that I would like to post and it's great to have an insight from start about these things. I'm trying to be very cautious with orange values though, this is the first set i've given a value above 90...
I'll make the changes and post them separately, tnx again

As per gurkenjoe's suggestions:

HEA: 90->82 (comparing to similar players of same or better quality, this seems like a reasonable value)
AGG: 84->62
MEN: 91->93
