Gustavo Roux

After overcoming a childhood where he was kicked out of every academy for his strange obsession with balancing balls on his nose, this calm Frenchman turned that eccentricity into sublime ball control and devastating long-range strikes. He glides past defenders with unnerving grace, though his occasional struggles to find the back of the net prove he is still human. Compact and lethal, he channels the sting of those early rejections to sharpen his brilliant, technical style.
