Inez Macêdo

This Brazilian marksman stalks the penalty area with a lethal, tranquil clinicality, combining blistering pace with an exquisite first touch that leaves defenders stranded. She famously refuses to step onto the pitch unless she has balanced a raw egg on her temple for ten seconds, a ritual that leaves her bewildered teammates both amused and desperate to keep their lockers clean. While her vision and positioning are world-class, she remains surprisingly clumsy when forced to perform flashy flair tricks with the ball at her feet.
