Mefodyi Omelchenko

A blur of Ukrainian speed, this pint-sized winger dances past defenders with lethal acceleration and an elite first touch that mocks their efforts. Despite his genius on the pitch, he is notoriously clumsy and often trips over his own laces when trying to pivot. To keep his nerves in check, he insists on wearing two different colored socks and eating a single, perfectly sliced pickle before kickoff, a bizarre ritual that his teammates watch with a mixture of amusement and concern.
