Franca Manzoni

This Italian centre-back radiates friendliness off the pitch, but transforms into an relentless nightmare once the whistle blows with precision slide tackles and a fierce desire to block every attack. While her explosive speed isn't her greatest weapon, her intelligent positioning makes up for any flaw with an intensity that suffocates opposing forwards. She is the beating heart of the defense, combining indomitable courage with a friendly spirit that earns universal respect.
