Denise Russell

This Canadian midfielder is an unstoppable force on the pitch thanks to her electric agility and exquisite ball control, even if she tends to be predictable when attempting complex tricks. To stay focused, she always chews a slice of dried lemon while walking backward into the locker room before a match, an eccentricity that leaves her teammates both baffled and impressed. Her ability to break defensive lines at high speed is brilliant, all while maintaining a signature, imperturbable calm under the most intense pressure.
