Gema Silvestre

This imposing Spanish centre-back is an unbreakable wall that combines raw physical power with flawless jockeying technique, though her fiery aggression sometimes pushes her to the edge of the rules. To find her focus before kick-off, she insists on brushing her teeth with anchovy-flavored toothpaste in the locker room, leaving her teammates consistently stunned and standing several meters away. Her presence is as intimidating to opponents as it is to the olfactory senses of her own squad.
