Ionela Ferro

This charismatic Italian center-back is a defensive genius with a natural ability to dominate every aerial duel, even if she occasionally lets her intense aggression boil over into reckless challenges. To find her focus, she insists on eating a sliced lemon, peel and all, right before kickoff, a ritual that leaves her teammates equal parts impressed and queasy. Despite this strange quirk, her unrelenting strength and brilliant game sense make her the undisputed anchor of the back line.
