Marlene Gabriel

This Haitian center-back utilizes lightning speed and elite anticipation to close down spaces, compensating for her limited vertical leap with masterful defensive IQ. After overcoming a paralyzing fear of tropical storms following the loss of her training gear in a flood, she channels that trauma into relentless on-pitch ferocity. While always friendly off the pitch, she transforms into an impenetrable wall the moment the whistle blows.
