Essam Hamoudi

This Iraqi winger is a human rocket whose technical finesse is only matched by a tricky habit of pushing his first touch a bit too far when he gets overly cocky. It is legendary how, in one youth match, he dribbled a defender so many times the poor guy actually asked the referee if the ball was glued to his feet. With a dangerous blend of explosive acceleration and lethal finishing, he makes every defense look ancient.
