Gerald Washington

After overcoming a paralyzing fear of crowd noise by wearing heavy earmuffs throughout his childhood, this lightning-fast American midfielder now channels that trauma into explosive speed and an unshakeable calmness on the pitch. He is a master of close dribbling who dances through defenders, even though his lack of agility can sometimes make him predictable during sharp turns. His relentless determination and pure pace make him a constant nightmare for any opposing defense.
