Masayo Kawabe

After a freak elbow injury from an accidental tumble into the dugout nearly ended her career, this humble defensive wall transformed her recovery into an ironclad resolve. Standing tall at 178cm, she dominates the midfield with surgical interception skills and an aerial prowess that anchors her team. Though her lack of top-end speed can sometimes be exploited by lightning-fast strikers, her relentless stamina and technical jockeying make her an immovable force in front of the back line.
