Abba Alhassan

This fiery Nigerian maestro dances past defenders with impossible agility and a silk-smooth touch, though his modest top speed often leaves him grounded when he should be flying. Before every whistle, he religiously insists on balancing a single dried bitter leaf on his nose for exactly sixty seconds, a bizarre ritual that leaves his teammates both baffled and terrified of his unpredictable genius. When he eventually finds his range, his long-range missiles turn match-winning moments into pure art.
