Minako Hosaka

Towering over attackers at 189cm, this Japanese dynamo glides across the pitch with unmatched speed and an almost prophetic sense for interceptions. She is an unrelenting defensive force who once insisted on perfecting her sliding tackle technique by chasing down a stray bullet train of a puppy during training. While her aggressive spirit often earns her a reputation as a fierce brick wall, she still occasionally gets too excited and commits needless fouls in open space.
