An implacable Turkish wall, she utilizes her blistering sprint speed to neutralize attacks, although her often overly aggressive approach keeps referees on high alert. To stay focused, she insists on trimming her toenails in the locker room right before the opening whistle, a bizarre ritual that leaves her teammates confused and slightly uneasy. Her humility on the pitch masks an unfazed ferocity that dismantles any opposing attack.
