Aboubakry Thiao

As an energetic attacking midfielder, he channeled the adversity of being told as a child he would never be able to run properly into a lightning-fast game built on world-class technical skills and blistering agility. His close-control dribbling is mesmerizing, and while his long-distance shooting remains a work in progress, his brilliant attacking intuition always keeps defenses scrambling. This drive to prove his doubters wrong burns in every sprint, turning him into a tireless force on the pitch.
