Claire Jonker

This Dutch defensive midfielder is a relentless engine on the pitch, pairing ruthless aggression with pinpoint reading of the game, even if her ability to slide tackle is often a liability. Before every match, she insists a teammate smells a fresh lemon slice so she can enter the game feeling zesty, a ritual that always leaves the squad bewildered and chuckling. With her imposing physicality and explosive acceleration, she bosses the center of the park with absolute authority.
