Pierina Mandelli

This humble Italian winger flashes across the pitch with explosive speed that leaves defenders in the dust, even if her lack of balance occasionally causes her to trip over her own feet. Before kickoff, she insists on braiding her hair with exactly three drinking straws, an eccentric habit that makes her teammates shake their heads and laugh in the locker room. Her incredible agility and drive make her a constant threat on the wing, no matter how bizarre her pre-match preparations may seem.
