Milene de Assis

This reserved Brazilian goalkeeper flies between the posts with cat-like reflexes, though she occasionally struggles to hold onto the ball securely. Before kick-off, she insists on eating a spoonful of peanut butter with her left hand, a ritual that leaves her teammates baffled and wondering if it is the secret to her acrobatic leaps. She is a towering physical wall, even if her rushing out sometimes leaves fans with their hearts in their mouths.
