Salah Nasser

This cerebral Iraqi midfielder dominates the game’s tempo with blinding explosivity and tireless stamina, even if his heading ability is virtually non-existent. Before every kickoff, he chews three raw mint leaves to find his center, an eccentricity that leaves his teammates caught between bewilderment and laughter. Despite his reserved nature, his talent for darting past defenders makes him a silent yet formidable force on the pitch.
