Jonathan Maloba

With unmatched defensive brilliance and explosive speed, this charismatic full-back dominates his flank, even if he can be strangely reluctant in physical duels. Before kick-off, he refuses to step onto the grass until he has braided three leaves into his left sock, a bizarre ritual that leaves his teammates just shaking their heads in laughter. Despite his weakness in physical contact, his tactical intelligence and lightning-quick recovery pace are of absolute world-class quality.
