Hanna Tadesse

This Ethiopian midfielder dominates the skies with a massive vertical and electrifying acceleration, more than making up for her occasionally clumsy first touch. Before every match, she balances a frozen grape on her nose while the starting lineup is read, an odd ritual that has her teammates shaking their heads while accepting it as the key to her calm focus. Her grounded, humble demeanor hides a physical engine that turns the middle of the pitch into her personal domain.
