Alina Akulich

This reserved Belarusian defensive anchor covers every blade of grass with elite stamina and surgical tackling, though she sometimes lacks the aggressive bite needed in tougher duels. To focus, she insists on balancing a raw onion on her head before kickoff, a bizarre ritual that leaves her teammates both baffled and amused. She commands the midfield with high-level defensive intelligence while remaining stoically committed to her odd habit.
