Aziza Melnikova

This Russian powerhouse striker combines explosive speed with a near-telepathic attacking IQ, even if her lackluster balance occasionally sends her tumbling at the slightest touch. During her youth in Moscow, she became a local legend when she refused to stop a match after getting her boot stuck in a fence, literally tearing off her own sock mid-play just to outrun her opponents. She is a force of nature on the pitch whose fiery temperament always pushes opposing defenses to their absolute limit.
