Aleksandar Ristovski

This North Macedonian forward pairs electric, lightning-fast acceleration with a silky-smooth first touch, though his modest skill level often lets him down in tight spots. To stay centered before kickoff, he ritualistically licks his right cleat three times, a bizarre quirk that leaves his teammates both amused and baffled. Despite his limited technical range, his humble nature and devastating ability to beat defenders with pure pace make him a constant nuisance to any defense.
