Alcides Santos

A reserved genius on the pitch, he weaves through defenders with effortless, serpentine grace and a lethal eye for the final pass. Before every kickoff, he obsessively insists on balancing a single unpeeled banana on his forehead to find his center, a bizarre ritual that leaves his teammates both baffled and silent in the tunnel. Despite his unmatched creativity and clinical touch, his utter lack of defensive grit often leaves his side exposed when the play turns against him.
