Mavlyuda Rasulova

This energetic Uzbek center-back is a defensive whirlwind, capable of intercepting attacks with an explosive speed that makes strikers look like they are standing still. Legend has it she once struck a clearance so hard it embedded itself deep into the goalpost, forcing the referee to pause the match just to pry it out. While her sliding tackles still need a bit of polish, her aerial dominance and sheer physical strength make her an almost impassable wall.
