Cláudio Bessa

After overcoming a debilitating childhood fear of the dark that kept him from night practice, he funneled that anxiety into an unstoppable drive to become a lethal striker. Possessing a brilliant attacking IQ and explosive pace, he glides past defenders with ease, even if his close control remains uncharacteristically clumsy under pressure. His trademark calm on the pitch hides a fierce mentality that makes him a perennial nightmare for every goalkeeper.
