Manjola Lala

This imposing Albanian center-back is a force of nature whose explosive speed and defensive ferocity stifle any attack, even if her heading ability often leaves something to be desired. Before every kickoff, she demands that her teammates slap her shin guards exactly three times to "seal the iron," a ritual everyone finds baffling but deeply respects. Her top-tier defensive IQ allows her to intercept passes almost by instinct, making her a wall that is as intimidating as it is peculiar.
