Pietra Romagnoli

This calm Italian clinical predator haunts defenders with lethal acceleration and an elite nose for the goal, though her occasional clumsy first touch often draws a laugh from the stands. Her insatiable drive was forged in the isolation of a remote mountain village, where she learned to strike tennis balls against a wall for hours after a childhood injury sidelined her for a full year. Now, she converts that past frustration into cold-blooded penalties and soaring headers that dominate the pitch.
