Nelly Bahati

After overcoming a career-threatening thigh tear suffered when she tripped over a stray bag of tennis balls, this Congolese defensive midfielder channeled her frustration into becoming a tactical master.

Humble and graceful in the air, she anchors the pitch with precision tackling and an almost telepathic understanding of where the ball is heading.
