Ellina Kondrateva

A force of nature in midfield, she glides past defenders with explosive bursts of speed while shrugging off tackles like a heavy tank. Before kickoff, she insists on lining her boots with exactly thirteen crushed dry mint leaves, leaving her teammates bemused as she sprints into the game smelling like a garden. Despite her magical footwork, she remains dangerously prone to getting winded early if the match drags on too long.
