Giusy Balsamo

Standing as an impenetrable monolith, this reserved Italian center-back utilizes lightning pace and suffocating tackles to erase opponents, though she famously struggles to direct headers past the first man. Fuelled by a childhood spent battling a debilitating fear of birds that drove her to obsessively conquer the skies, she now dominates every aerial duel with terrifying intent. Her relentless work rate and defensive intuition transform the backline into a silent, lethal fortress.
