Ana-Marija Dolenc

A silent force on the pitch, this Slovenian defensive stalwart uses blistering pace and a relentless motor to hunt down attackers before they can breathe. She rarely speaks, yet her precision tackling is a deafening statement that strikers soon learn to fear. The intensity of her focus is legendary, dating back to the day she spent an entire practice session successfully body-checking a charging goat that wandered onto her local training pitch.
