This Georgian midfield engine dominates the pitch with exquisite close control and a physical stature that brushes off any challenge, even if her slow acceleration remains a glaring liability. Before kickoff, she forces teammates to hum Georgian folk songs while she jumps repeatedly over her gear bag, an odd ritual that the squad has come to embrace with good-natured amusement. Despite her lack of burst, her relentless stamina and raw strength make her an immovable force in the center of the park.
