Marilena Galletti

Towering over the midfield with unmatched explosive pace and fiery aggression, this Italian engine is as arrogant as she is lethal, even if her close-quarters control can occasionally be clumsy. She demands total focus by insisting on eating exactly three raw almonds while whistling opera, a bizarre ritual that leaves her bewildered teammates rolling their eyes in the tunnel. Despite the circus act, her dominance on the pitch remains absolute.
