Laurent Mansaly

With bottomless stamina and a fearsome aerial prowess, this Senegalese wingback turns the sideline into his personal territory, though his tactical awareness occasionally leaves him stranded. To get into the zone, he insists on balancing a single unpeeled banana on his forehead for five minutes, leaving his bewildered teammates to watch him perform this silent, steady meditation. When he finally moves, his ferocious energy turns that quiet calm into a whirlwind of relentless speed and intensity.
