Avalinda Serradas

This lightning-quick Cabo Verdean center-back dominates the air with colossal strength, though her eagerness sometimes leaves her chasing shadows when strikers get a head start. She is notoriously friendly, once stopping mid-game to help a confused winger find his shinguard before ruthlessly intercepting his next cross. Her defensive wall is nearly impenetrable, fueled by a tireless engine and a smile that disarms opponents before she stops them in their tracks.
