Annunziata Vannini

This reserved Italian wing-back haunts the flank with blistering acceleration and dominant aerial presence, though her occasional lapses in aggression can leave the defense vulnerable. Before kickoff, she insists on braiding three strands of fresh garlic into her shin guards to ward off bad luck, a quirk her teammates treat with a bewildered but respectful distance. She remains a focused, physical force who shuts down attacks as quickly as she speeds away.
