Aïché Samake

Despite growing up paralyzed by a crippling fear of loud thunderstorms, this Malian winger channeled that intensity into explosive lightning-fast sprints down the flank. She glides across the pitch with elite balance and an exquisite first touch that leaves defenders stranded, even if her lackluster ball control can sometimes let her down in congested spaces. Her perpetually friendly demeanor masks a fierce competitor who is determined to outpace any shadow.
