Eija Lahtinen

Standing tall as an impenetrable wall, this Finnish powerhouse dominates the midfield with blistering speed and relentless precision, even if she occasionally misses a cross due to a shaky aerial game. Her charismatic authority is legendary, dating back to that infamous match where she bench-pressed an opponent just to clear the ball out of her own half. She is the ultimate defensive engine who suffocates every attack before it even starts.
