Valquiria Rangel

A fiery defensive force, this Brazilian midfield powerhouse shreds opposition attacks with razor-sharp sliding tackles while showing a reckless disregard for personal safety. Before every whistle, she insists on kissing the exact center of her left shin guard three times, a ritual her bewildered teammates handle by simply ignoring her as they prepare for kickoff. While her lethal interceptions make her a nightmare to bypass, her habit of arguing with the match ball remains an eccentricity nobody quite understands.
