Thales Trindade

Blistering pace defines this friendly Brazilian winger, whose lightning acceleration turns defenders into ghosts on the flank. He channeled the trauma of a shattered ankle sustained in a freak trampoline accident into an insatiable work ethic, though his often-clunky first touch remains a comical reminder that he is only human. His movement is pure balletic chaos, leaving opponents mesmerized while he glides effortlessly through the smallest of spaces.
