Ekaterina Plesca

This reserved Moldovan striker breaks down defenses with feline agility and hypnotic dribbling, though her heading is so fragile she would rather dribble the keeper than jump for the ball. I recall how, as a child, she once made the ball disappear under a bush just to humiliate a guard dog before scoring the winner. She is a silent force who thinks the game through with great intuition before executing with elegance.
