Mirella Paolini

This lightning-fast Italian engine dominates the midfield with terrifying intensity, though her first touch often leaves something to be desired. She insists on braiding a sprig of dried rosemary into her left cleat laces before every match to channel luck, a ritual that leaves her teammates both baffled and slightly amused. Despite her fiery aggression on the pitch, she remains a deeply friendly presence once the final whistle blows.
