Abdo Sperling

The reserved German striker combines explosive long-range power with near-invincible balance, even though his finishing can sometimes waver in the most critical moments. Before kickoff, he obsessively chews on an old tennis ball for exactly three minutes, a strange ritual that leaves his teammates shaking their heads in silent bewilderment. Despite his middling acceleration, he is a technical magician who keeps the ball glued to his feet.
